Livermore Valley

Livermore Valley is a few miles from the California coast, directly east of the San Francisco Bay. Pioneer Livermore winemakers C. H. Wente and James Concannon planted their vineyards in the early 1880s, having recognized the area’s winegrowing potential. Their descendants have maintained the tradition: today both wineries continue to thrive.
