Ruby Hill Winery


Livermore Valley Wine Country

The wine label pictured here depicts the original Ruby Hill Winery, which dates back to 1887. Founder John Crellin named the winery for the vineyard's rich, red soil. More than a century later—in February 2008—Ruby Hill Winery celebrated its grand opening at a new location in Pleasanton. Ruby Hill's wine list is primarily estate, focusing on Zinfandel and Petit Sirah varieties. The winery is committed to producing estate quality wines at affordable prices, which has made it very popular with local wine enthusiasts. Not surprisingly, the winery had a following before it officially opened.

Ruby Hill Winery is located at 400 Vineyard Avenue in Pleasanton, California.

Ruby Hill Wine Tasting 

400 Vineyard Avenue, Pleasanton

At nearly 5,000 square feet, Ruby Hill's spacious, Mediterranean-style tasting room is probably the largest in the Livermore Valley. Wine club members, known as the Gem Society, enjoy a private, cordoned lounge area with their own hospitality attendant. The tasting room deli offers a number of lunch items that can be enjoyed picnic-style on the grounds overlooking the estate vineyards.

Open Wednesday-Sunday from 11am to 5:30pm

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.
