Wente Vineyards
In 1981, the Wente family purchased the long abandoned Cresta Blanca winery site. Few views are as breathtaking in Livermore, and with a lot of hard work and determination the winery began to reclaim its former elegance. The grounds were replanted with vineyards at the foot of the hillsides, adding even more beauty to the natural surroundings. Most exciting was restoration of the sandstone caves, which once again provide ideal resting quarters for sparkling wines as they age and mature. When the renovation was complete, the Wente Vineyards Event Center quickly established itself as a popular site for weddings, receptions, banquets, conferences, private parties, and other celebrations. In addition to the tasting room, the site also features the award-winning Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, a championship golf course, and the famous summer concert series.
Wente Vineyards is located at 5050 Arroyo Road in Livermore, California.

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
The Wente Estate is registered as California Historical Landmark #957. The winery was established by Carl Wente in 1883 on 47 acres of land. Having received training in wines while working for Charles Krug of Napa Valley, Wente purchased a few vineyards and land of excellent soil. In 1935 his sons, Ernest and Herman, introduced California's first varietal wine label, Sauvignon Blanc. The efforts of the Wente family, including pioneering night-time mechanical harvesting, have helped establish the Livermore Valley as one of the premier wine-growing areas of California. Since then, it has expanded to over 2,000 acres, plus an additional 700 acres in Arroyo Seco.
