I just found out through a trusted and perturbed source (namely my girlfriend!) that tickets for the 30th Annual Harvest Wine Celebration have ended. You can still purchase tickets the day of the event for an additional $5.

Or you can get a designated driver and hit all the wineries anyway! We’ll see you out there! Cheers!

No matter where your wine tasting adventure takes you this Labor Day weekend, you should have the Little Black Book of Wine in your back pocket! It’s a quick light read and great reference book when debating the difference between a pinot gris and pinot grigio. It covers all the bases from types of wine produced to pairings with food. You’ll never know it all, but you will at least be able to identify the one’s who think they do!

Get out there, discover new wines and learn about the wine you love to experience! Cheers!

This Labor Day Weekend is a great time to come taste at the Big White House, check up on their latest releases, ask for a few of the old releases and have a wild time.  Come up to the winery if you want to side-step the big groups attending the Harvest Celebration. We are barrel tasting a yummy Zin from Sblendorio vineyards as well as an extensive and excellent current tasting list.

The Harvest Celebration is this weekend – Sunday and Monday is a ticketed Event. Big White House will be open all three days. However, only Saturday will be a normal tasting day.

Labor Day Weekend is coming up this weekend and Tenuta is turning 8! They have all kinds of stuff going on, so forget the tent and go kick that pinky out and taste some wonderful wines!

Tenuta will be holding their first ever “Toe to Toe” competition, raffling off bottles of wine,  complimentary appetizers available ALL weekend, Live music and more!

Check out the details for the Labor Day Weekend Events at Tenuta!

Who doesn’t have something going on this Labor Day Weekend? I’m sure you’ve heard about the 30th Annual Harvest Wine Celebration (Sunday & Monday) Noon to 5:00pm, and AuburnJames will be pouring under the canopy at Concannon Winery in Livermore.

Also, all of the gallery art is for sale, so if you need to decorate your wine bar, you know where to go!

Sunday & Monday, September 4 & 5, 12 to 5 pm

What better way to spend your labor day weekend other than tasting the best wines Livermore has to offer? Sure, you could go camping with the 30 million other people and sit in traffic making friends…but why not just relax and explore delicious local wines?

Plus, there will be a complimentary shuttle taking you to over 40 wineries (on Sunday)! ROADTRIP!!!
