Concannon Vineyard
Livermore Valley Wine Country
With a legacy for excellence dating back to 1883, Concannon Vineyard is known worldwide for its award-winning wines, as well as its historic role in the wine industry. Irish immigrant James Concannon was drawn to the gravelly soil of Livermore more than a century and a quarter ago. A true pioneer, he crossed the country in a covered wagon and settled his family first in Oregon, then later in California. James Concannon planted the country's first Petit Sirah vines in 1911 and for half a century the grapes were used primarily for blending. At their customers' insistence, the winery bottled its first Petit Sirah in 1964 and continues to focus on this popular varietal today.
Concannon Vineyard is located at 4590 Tesla Road in Livermore, California.
