We did the Livermore wine and food pairing trolley and stopped here. Great choice of wines we tasted. Loved their petite Sirah. Staff were great and knowledgeable about the history of the specific wines.

Next to Napa and Sonoma, this is the "quieter" wine region of California.

Reviewed By Nadeem835 - Livermore, United States

Livermore have a lovely downtown area, perfect for a lazy afternoon with local shops, restaurants. Outside of town is one of the best outlet malls in the entire bay area, and south of town are some great wine country event centers and wine tasting places. Its a great place to visit and even nicer to place to live.

Del Valle Regional Park

Reviewed By JKW3 - Livermore, United States

We spent 4 nights here in February, and it was so quiet and peaceful. It's a nice, green campground with plenty of space between sites. There's a big grassy area in the center of the loop we were in, and wild turkeys paraded around it daily. We have a 40' motorhome, and it was a little cozy driving through the loop, but it was do-able. We had site #24, and it was perfect. It was a nice, long pull-thru; I think it was 90'.

Sycamore Grove Regional Park

Reviewed By 2raqholt - Livermore, United States

During late fall, my daughter, her two sons of 5 and 3 (very active grandsons!), and I went to Sycamore Grove. It was a gorgeous day, and the park was beautiful with the changing colors of the big leaves of the sycamore trees. It was good to follow the paved pathway and go over the nice wooden bridge. Off the bridge, we went down below and the two young ones had so much fun throwing rocks onto the stream to make the biggest splash and ripples. Moving on we found this great sycamore tree. One of its very large branch drooped down to the ground. It was perfect for the boys as they clambered up and down having much fun. This park is perfect for family outings, for taking walks,including your dog, for picniking, and for meditating. It is lovely in any season!! Note: There is a small fee using your cedit card to enter.

We went there twice during our trip to SFO. First was the weekend before Christmas (but was a big mistake as the place was crazy crowded). Second was 3 days after Christmas, and shopping was a breeze! Consider avoiding major holidays like Black Friday, Weekend before Christmas, Christmas Eve. You will be saving alot of time on all those long queues and crazy crowd. I took 30 minutes to get in to Coach store. Sales after the Christmas was equally great too. No queues, equally great discounts. One way is to come early as soon as they open. Easily accessible by BART (take to Dublin/Pleasanton Station) and thereafter take Bus 14 straight to the Outlet mall. Give yourself around an hour or so. Aside from that, we really loved the outlet mall. Very good buys.

Murrieta's Well Winery

Nestled off the beaten path in the Livermore Valley, Murrieta's Well is one of California’s original wine estates and has been growing grapes since the 1800s. Our vineyard was started with cuttings from the famed Chateau d’Yquem and Chateau Margaux vineyards in France; today it continues to produce the highest quality fruit. All of our grape varieties are sourced exclusively from our estate, allowing us to ensure consistency of style and quality. We use the land to our advantage and plant grape varieties according to the various microclimates on our property. This creates the the winemaking palette for blending exceptional wines that truly showcase the unique characteristics of our estate's terroir.

We went here the Saturday after Thanksgiving on a Rainy Day. The place was packed as expected. The staff did not make it feel that way which was Great. We stood by a wine barrel table by the window & enjoyed what we could see between the drops. Still nice & pretty. Well, lets get to the main part the wine. The tasting was wonderful & the wine was delicious! My daughter & son in law bought several bottles to take home since they live in Pleasanton, the neighboring city. On our return, we will put this winery on our list to go back for sure !
