Valentine Day Dinner hosted by Livermore Wine Trolley…read more We checked in at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Livermore and were welcomed with a very tasty sparkling wine from The Singing Winemaker, which immediately set a festive tone for the evening. From there, everyone boarded the Livermore Wine Trolley--red or white coach options--and headed to our first stop: Longevity Wines. Longevity Wines may look modest from the outside, but inside it was warm, charming, and thoughtfully decorated for Valentine's Day--flowers, hearts, rustic touches, a small stage, and plenty of seating. The trolley director hosted a fun Newlywed-style game while the Longevity team circulated with pours. The wines were solid across the board, with the Cabernet Franc and Petite Syrah standing out as the clear highlights of the stop. Next up was Three Steves Winery. We were greeted with a glass of Rosé before heading into the barrel room for dinner. Steve introduced himself briefly, gave a quick overview of the winery, and then directed guests to grab their complimentary glass in the tasting room or line up for dinner. Unfortunately, this is where the evening lost momentum. Dinner was a large, unorganized letdown: Caesar salad, pasta salad, pesto pasta, and a basic chicken breast. For a Valentine's event at this price point, it felt rushed and poorly coordinated. There was a clear missed opportunity here--not just in hospitality, but in wine sales and overall experience. With better planning, this could have been a standout pairing event. Imagine hosts circulating with plated Caesar salads while the trolley director engaged the room. Then a focused introduction to the wines as staff poured complimentary glasses or offered full bottles for purchase. A plated, coursed dinner paired intentionally with each wine would have elevated the entire night. The Sangiovese and Old Vine Zinfandel were decent with the chicken, but the lineup leaned heavily red. A red meat entrée--pot roast or meatloaf--would have matched the wine profile far better and created a stronger pairing experience. As it stood, the food felt disconnected from the wines. On a positive note, having the trolley return us safely to the hotel after an evening of wine tasting was a real benefit. Transportation was smooth and convenient, which matters on a night like this. Given the cost and the limited number of wineries visited, expectations were higher. The first stop delivered charm and engagement. The second had the ingredients to succeed but lacked organization and vision. With better execution, Three Steves could have easily doubled their bottle sales that night. Solid concept. Mixed execution. A few structural improvements would turn this into a premium Valentine's experience instead of a missed opportunity.

From the very beginning, Diane went above and beyond to help me plan this special day. She answered my many questions, worked through every accommodation with me, and made the entire booking process seamless. Her kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made me feel like she was just as invested in the celebration as I was. By the end of the planning process, I had unofficially promoted her to honorary bridesmaid status. When we arrived, Valeria and Kayla were fantastic. They immediately jumped into "surprise mode," graciously playing along by checking us in at the host stand and escorting us to our table without giving anything away. Their teamwork helped keep the bride-to-be completely unsuspecting until she walked into a room full of family and friends. Valeria also accommodated my request to play a millennial throwback playlist, and every hit had us singing along--it was the perfect soundtrack for the afternoon. Our server, Skylar, was equally wonderful. She made excellent wine recommendations, was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and truly made us feel at home. Even after our reserved time had ended, she warmly invited us to stay and continue enjoying ourselves. What was supposed to be a two-hour brunch turned into nearly four hours of laughter, wine, and celebrating, and we never once felt like we were inconveniencing anyone. The beautiful winery, delicious brunch, excellent wine, and stunning atmosphere were everything I had hoped for. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the people. Diane, Valeria, Kayla, Skylar, and the entire Murrieta's Well team created an experience that felt warm, personal, and genuinely special. Planning a surprise from start to finish can be stressful, but thanks to this incredible team, all I had to do was enjoy watching my best friend's reaction. Thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back!

So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.

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!

We have been able to try various tasting menus and as a group we really like their peacock zin, cuvee dray, and the sparkling. Recently we tried the wine train experience which worked out quite well since it was actually pretty sunny after a rainy November week. As we were celebrating some birthdays they decorated a chalkboard sign with our names and welcomed us with some sparkling. The guide warned us that there would be plenty of pours and some snacks at our final stop, so we grabbed a pack of crackers and some meat to tide us over. The train is really cute with barrel seats. However, be warned that it is quite a bumpy ride, so you may want to finish what's in your glass before it starts. It can also get pretty warm in the train, as we ended up not needing our jackets. We got to taste some of the grapes off the vines and many photo shoot opportunities as our guide told us some fun history tidbits. We ended at the water tower where there was more wine and a snack plate waiting for us. The decor in the water tower was really cute and festive for fall. The minimum for the train is 8 paid spots and the maximum is 14. The trolley could definitely comfortably fit that many. Their merch is really cute, and someone almost always find something to go home with. One last note, we love their French onion dip as well and look forward to having that each visit.
