It was so good with plenty of chunks of prosciutto and Gruyère cheese. My friend had the Chicory and Asian Pear Salad for $18. Large portion offered, which can be shared. She enjoyed the salad.

Roger took care of us, and his customer service was brilliant. Since it was our first time, he took the time to explain each wine, and even cheered with us for our anniversary on the first one Truly top-notch service. We also received a complimentary wine glass, which was such a nice touch. We noticed Bryan helping the table next to us as well, and he also provided excellent customer service. The entire place was very pretty, clean, and organized. They had an outdoor fire pit and kindly turned it on for me since I was cold--it definitely helped keep me warm along with the wine! The dip and crackers were so good--I especially loved the creamy cheese dip. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake; it was okay... but I have to say, Domino's lava cake might still be my favorite lol. Overall, we would definitely go again!

Arlo was our wine specialist and he is great , he told the winery history, some grapes history, a little about the owners and futures plans for this place. We got the members subscription , you have to buy 6 bottle of wine a year, that's it's all and enjoy good perks .

I've been to Bent Creek many times over the years, so this review is longoverdue…read more Bent Creek is one of the first places I think of when wine tasting in Livermore, due to their delicious wines. I always have wonderful service with such nice staff who love to share their love of wine with my friends and I. I feel like each visit, I learn something new! We typically sit outside and bring our own snacks. Bent Creek feels homey, with no fluff or frills and having to act like we know what we're doing. The highlight of each visit is probably introducing my friends to ports with chocolate and how it changes the flavor! It's a pleasure to visit, and I can't wait to come back.

Many wineries do not have a large selection of port wine, but Bent Creek does, and they are all excellent! Bent Creek winery is in an absolutely stunning location in Livermore valley. The tasting room staff are all experienced and are great at guiding you through the tastings. In addition, you are allowed to pick out a bagged snack that you can eat while you taste wine. It's a very cute touch! Last time we were there, we decided to join the wine club. We really like the port!

I loved the entry way like and old italian villa with palm trees. Service was nice and the staff attentive but not bothersome. We did a tasting and then I bought a bottle for my cousin and I to share and for one to take home which we eventually shared too lol! The seating area is comfy and has views of the winery and where they make the wine. Totally cool out door seating that was full but not so close that you feel tight. The wine was nice and my cousin gets to pick as she knows more about me in regards to wine and I trust her choices. She is like my sister so I trust her. We both liked what we got and what we got to taste. Overall we both Liked Rubino and we would go again. Highly recommend visit if you like a nice intimate place, beautiful sights and awesome wine.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an experience I had at your winery today. I…read morehave been a loyal member since 2017, and today I brought my in-laws to visit after shopping. We reserved an indoor spot, which was indicated to have no time limit. We were having a wonderful time relaxing, enjoying a wine bundle special we purchased, and sharing a charcuterie board. However, our experience was ruined when a host approached our table and asked if we were close to leaving because there was a long waitlist. Several other tables had arrived before us, yet none of them were approached. This treatment felt unfair and left a very bad taste in my mouth. After many years of enjoying my membership, this experience has made me seriously consider canceling it. Please be better.

I'm shocked that Wente's score isn't higher- PLEASE give it a try!…read more Arguably the best winery in Livermore, and a top contender with the big wineries in NorCal. The Wente estate is absolutely *stunning*, and worth a visit just to enjoy the scenery. There isn't a bad view to be found. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation- all seats inside and on the immediate patio were taken (shocker!), but we were offered seats either in the tasting room, the lawn, or by the fire pits- not bad seating at all! The atmosphere is very elevated, with beautiful decor inside and out. Across the Wente grounds are multiple buildings, including a concert venue. We enjoyed our visit so much, we came back for a special tasting event with Carolyn, the CEO of Wente. An absolutely fabulous night hearing about the history of Wente, which made me appreciate the winery and its impact not only on Livermore, but in the wine world! Very cool, I highly recommend the event if you are able to snag a ticket!

The instructions clearly stated to bring low chairs, which makes sense so everyone can see. Unfortunately, the person who set up directly in front of us had a high chair, which completely blocked our view for a good portion of the show. What made it more frustrating is that this person turned out to be one of the staff members who had checked our tickets earlier. It was a bit disappointing to see someone enforcing the rules not following them, especially when it impacts guests' experience. If they had used a low chair like everyone else, it wouldn't have been an issue at all. Hopefully management can address this with their staff moving forward. Aside from that, it's a great venue, and I'd definitely go back--especially for the right band.

The wines were excellent, with something for every palate, and the staff made the experience even better.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great place to unwind, McGrail is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable winery experience.

We brought our own picnic lunch and sampled 7 of their great wines sitting and chatting on one of the many picnic tables on their property. Your choice of sun or shade. Our tasting experience was great with the wine tasting flight: It ranged from white to rosé to full body red, and they are the only certified organic winery in the area, as I understand. They had a live musician named Chris Rogers singing and playing the guitar; don't forget to tip him. If you don't bring your own food, don't worry, they have a caterer on-site to buy from. You can also sit at their tables if you buy a couple of bottles instead of doing the tasting. I noticed they also have comedy shows once a month in the summer and hope I can check that out. If you are looking for a relaxing day outdoors with great wine, live music, and a welcoming atmosphere, it is a fantastic place to visit.

It's also really nice that they let us bring our own snacks (We bought a pizza from the vendor to share, too!)

Went to WTR Friday evening to see Ruff Stock Country Band. Secured reservation on line…read more The tasting room was set up Perfectly for the event. Every employee was helpful and accommodating. I chose to buy a bottle of their Malbec which hit my flavor profile perfectly. They made sure the water station Was always full which was greatly appreciated. Staff kept checking on all the tables to make sure we were enjoying and had what we needed. There was a food truck and cookie cart available to everyone and they allowed you to bring food in. This event was a great way to pre game for the 4th. WTR schedules events for their customers and members that invite community and what better way than to share with a glass of outstanding wine. There is a varietal for every palette. Well Done. I definitely will be back.
