I truly loved it. Brand new winery, clean, really nice patio area, live soft music.. what else you need for a great relaxing evening?? Yes! Wine! Their wines are amazing.. Rhone blends are hard to come by in this part of Valley and the Melange was one of the most interesting wines I've ever had. Intricate bouquet, beautiful aroma and color.. cant wait till their Viogner comes out at Fall. Will be back again!

The wines are excellent. Highly drinkable now and great for the cellar. The top end selections like the Premier Cab and the Lineage Bordeaux blend have gotten 100 point scores and are among the best in the world. There are many good and great wineries in Livermore and Steven Kent Winery and The Lineage Group are at the pinnacle of the latter. My favorite wines (after the two mentioned above) are the Single Vineyard Series cabs. Each one is unique and vary from year to year but the nuanced style of Steven Mirassou provides a point of view for each. The winery has had a bit of a hospitality makeover that was interrupted by COVID but I did get a visit to the new Lineage Salon beforehand and it offers a beautiful high-end tasting experience rivaling a great premium Napa tasting. Our visit on the patio (due to COVID) was hospitable and relaxed with four nice wines and a couple of bonus pours as well. I'd recommend a reservation by calling in advance especially in these times when openings and closings are happening frequently.

We went with no expectations and we were thrilled. My husband was impressed by the fact that every time we sampled a wine the lady would point to the outside and where they were grown! We bought a bottle of port at the end of the tasting and brought it home to Maryland. We hope to go back someday.

Finding great entertainment couldn't be any easier than a visit to the Bankhead Theater in the heart of Downtown Livermore. The Livermore Performing Arts Center, better known as the "Bankhead" has programs and performances that meet all tastes and pocketbooks. Their new season features class acts at half the price of theaters in San Francisco and the nearby bigger cities. Most tickets cost under $50 and even less for military personnel and students. There isn't a bad seat in the 507- seat theater that also offers remarkable acoustics. There is plenty of free parking next to the theater as well as excellent downtown restaurants that offer a variety of food choices. The theater also has a concession area that serves desserts, award winning wines, beer and non alcoholic drinks. You can view rotating art exhibits in the lobby before your performance and check out the other exciting activities in the area in the Lobby's Visitors Center that is open to the public 7 days a week. Outside in the Bankhead Plaza there are often free public performances and multi-cultural event, art and wine events and science related activities suitable for all age groups. We saved a lot of money and hassle when visiting the Bay Area by attending the Bankhead Theater, the gem of the Livermore and Tri-Valley Area.
