Tenuta Vineyards
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.
