Dante Robere Vineyards — Attraction in Livermore

In summary, the pouring amount is extremely little, probably a 2 oz per glass and the horrible quality of service. If you don't care about the quality of service, Dante Robere would be worthy of your time with your own glasses.

First, our server gave us a corner table with a lot of sunlight on the day with 93 degrees heat and told us NOT to tilt the patio umbrella when we tried to tilt it to avoid sunburn. Thankfully, Dan came over and tilted the umbrella himself later and told us to freely adjust it on our own. Because of the heat, we had an empty water jar from the first pour of wine and were never offered more water till we asked before we left.

I also emailed the winery ahead regarding any small bites available and received a response: "We do have cheese, crackers, salami, jam, chocolate, etc to sell to make your own snack" from Dan. Yet, when I asked where I can purchase these from the server as small bites were not on the menu, she said "you need to bring your own. Is this your first time?"

Lastly, when my friend was going to the restroom, she poured his glass and told me to explain the glass to him when he comes back.

Quite frankly, she was extremely nice to other tables with older, Caucasian groups of people - smiling, checking on the taste of wine, refilling water, and consistently asking if they are ready for the next round of pours.

Aside from the server, the atmosphere is cozy, the owner/manager Dan is nice and responsive, and the wine, especially Syrah, tastes great. BUT, it was the worst vineyard experience and service in my life. It is your choice to choose Dante Robere or not but I would personally never ever...

Wonderful boutique winery! We had the best experience here. Tastings are $20 for 5 tastings, which is waved if you buy a bottle. Some of the other reviewers state that the tastings were tiny - I disagree. The pours were normal for a tasting. And, you could always revisit any taste just by asking. Plus, I really loved the service here - our server figured out each of our individual pallets and tailored our tastings based on our preferences. We learned a ton about the wine and what makes the area so special. We even tried a few wines that were not on our tasting menu.

My friend and I visited on a Sunday afternoon. The place was busy but not crowded. We sat outside under the heat lamps. While they don’t have a restaurant, they have a small à la cart section to make your own picnic (crackers, cheese, chocolate, etc…).

Highly recommend their wines too -...

We visited Donta Robere Winery in Livermore hoping to enjoy a tasting for three adults, and we had our kids with us. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The staff member we interacted with made it feel like a hassle. First, she told us that our kids couldn’t be outside, so we would need to be seated. Then, she said we couldn’t be seated with our group size. It felt like we were being given excuse after excuse instead of being welcomed.

For such a small winery, I expected a friendlier and more accommodating atmosphere. Instead, we left feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. There are so many wonderful wineries in Livermore that treat guests warmly—I would recommend checking those...
