Free Range Flower Winery — Attraction in Livermore

One of the biggest challenges for non-wine professionals is learning to identify floral and herbal aromas and tastes in a variety of wines. Aaliyah Nitito of Free Range Floral Winery has taken out the guesswork by crafting “wine made from flowers not grapes” “fermented not infused” from California grown, organic or wild foraged flowers. Articles in Wine Enthusiast and Huff Post caught my attention and made me reconsider my “That’s not real wine”, my go to response to the fruity swill made from everything but grapes that is peddled by some. Curiosity got the better of me after perusing the website and after a careful wait-out-the-heat shipping policy, my bottles arrived. “L” Lavender Wine - drinks like a sparkling rose. “Assertive floral notes with an implied sweetness” Couldn’t have said it better myself-implied sweetness, not actual, being the operative words. 13.5 % abv. RoseHybiscus- a Pinot Noir wannabe with sandalwood and vanilla aromas and a touch of sage and raspberry on the palate. 14% abv. Delish! Marigold- with mown grass, juicy citrus, thyme and salted caramel notes 12% abv. This is an exciting new genre, as exciting as exploring a new wine region. Curiosity and an open mind can pay big dividends. Stay open...

We cannot recommend Free Range Flower Winery enough! We have ordered from Free Range in the past, and were excited to work with Aaliyah for our wedding in Mill Valley at the end of July 2023.

From the moment we reached out, Aaliyah was very helpful in working with our budget and wedding parameters. She was very responsive over email and over calls to make sure that we had our preferred wines (and the appropriate quantities) at our wedding.

Prior to completing our final purchase, we had the chance to enjoy a few drinks at their beautiful tasting room in Livermore and to meet the wonderful Aaliyah and her team in-person. We ended up tasting and adding their new Rose Petal (a crowd favorite at our wedding!) to our existing orders of RoseHybiscus, Marigold, and Lavender.

On our wedding day, the wines were a hit among our guests especially for a summer wedding and folks loved the beautiful designs as well. We were so happy to have been able to work with Free Range Flower Winery and introduce their wines to so...

My wife and recently had a bit of a stay-cation. We planned little day trips to various unique spots that piqued our interest. That is why we went to Free Range Flower winery. They are housed in an industrial area of Livermore....quite out of the way.

We met the lovely Aaliyah and her friend Kana. Aaliyah is filled with entrepreneurial passion and vigor. Her joy is infectious. As we sipped 4 lovely wines: Rose-Hibiscus, Rose Petal, Marigold, and a lovely wine made from a blend of flower pedals. The wines were lovely with a crisp finish. Each was serve chilled a bit but the flavors "blossomed" as the wine warmed some.

My wife and I are committed to get the word out about FRFW; bringing friends and family with us to visit. Aaliyah and Kana have the drive and energy that make America great. We pray for their success and growth.

A truly...
