Tenuta Vineyards

Livermore Valley Wine Country

Just off Vallecitos Road, a windy country lane bordered by Chardonnay vineyards leads to the Tenuta winery and tasting room. The tan buildings with red-tile roofs would be quite at home in Tuscany. In Livermore, they're a wonderful treat for the senses. Visitors often bask in the sunlight while sipping wine on a spacious patio in front of the tasting room. Tenuta Vineyards is known for its estate grown wines, and boasts the only estate Pinot Noir vineyard in the valley.

I purchased this book at one of the wine festivals, and even had it signed by the authors. Don't worry if you're not into quilting... it's worth adding to your library for the photos alone. Several Livermore Valley wineries are featured, including Thomas Coyne Winery, Livermore Valley Cellars, Fenestra Winery, Wente Vineyards, and artwork by Darcie Kent.
