GV Cellars has for many years been a family favorite winary in the Livermore Valley.On my recent visit I was saddened to learn that they could no longer provide tastings because the county demanded unconditional ADA compliance.
Those who follow my reviews know I am a handicapped traveler seriously committed to appropriate access for visitors with disabilities.
