2018 Harvest Wine Celebration In Livermore

LIVERMORE, CA — More than 35 Livermore wineries showcasing wine, food, art, crafts and music will participate in the annual Harvest Wine Celebration this weekend. In 2017, the popular event was canceled due to the extreme heat.

“The Harvest Wine Celebration has showcased the individuality of our Livermore Valley wineries for 35 years, and we thought it was time to try moving it to a single location,” said Chris Chandler, executive director of the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association. “But, by the time the 2017 festival was cancelled due to an extreme heat forecast of 109 degrees, both Mother Nature and fans of this event had spoken: this festival belongs at the individual wineries.”

From noon to 5 p.m. on Sept. 2, participating Livermore wineries will offer a wide range of events, including tasting and entertainment.

The Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association said highlights include:

• Embodied Wines, Livermore Valley’s newest winery, will give guests a sneak peek at their 5,000-square-foot tasting room that will open this fall. Embodied Wines is the latest addition to the cluster of “urban wineries” on Vasco Road in Livermore—there are currently eight wine tasting rooms, two distilleries and a brewery within a block of each other.
• Concannon Vineyard will host an Escape Room for ticketed guests
• Murrieta’s Well will offer vineyard tours every hour
• Retzlaff Estate Winery will give a cork demonstration and tours of the historic estate and organic vineyard and garden
• Garre´ Vineyard & Winery will host bocce ball and lawn games
• Wente Vineyards will serve up barrel samples with a food pairing at the Estate Tasting Room on Tesla Road
