Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery — Attraction in Livermore

My ladies and I were out wine tasting for the day, and I'm glad we came here last. We spent the most time here, and you would too. The property is serene and rustic. It's outside seating only, and luckily the weather was perfect (because if was 110F last week).

The fee for the tasting is $10, and it's not waived if you buy a bottle. But the tasting menu has around 9-10 wines so I think it's worth it. Bottles are around $28-40.

And I enjoyed every. single. one. Seriously, they were all good, and I ended up buying a bottle of merlot.

Though they have many wines to taste, the vineyard is still small production. They have a few events for their members, but nothing on the scale for private events like weddings.

And the winery is definitely off the beaten path. You can easily miss it, and the road isn't paved. Also, the owner lives on the property, so you're getting a very homey, welcoming experience. The pourings can take place outside if there's seating, which is something I've never seen before. It's nice to sit down, relax with friends, and continue with the tasting.

I recommend bringing food because you'll be there for awhile....

This is the worst winery experience we had so far. Nothing says kids not allowed. We have 4 kids who were told to sit on their chairs aka not even step away from the table. The winery owners have 2 dogs and they came over to our tables and one of the dogs got little aggressive with our daughter barking at her etc. no one came to take them away or let us know they are safe Dogs. They told us they will call the cops because kids are not sitting at the table and that made our daughter scared that police is going to come and put is in jail. They never finished our flight of wine but we paid and left. One of the worst winery experiences ever and we have been to many many wineries in the area. It...

Worst Winery ever. The owner is super rude… he threatens people for parking, kids not staying on table, kids going to front desk to ask questions. He threatened to call the cops in front of our kids which traumatised my five year old daughter. On top of that he showed no remorse even when she started crying. Dogs not allowed but his own dogs are freely roaming around ! Horrible horrible place. Super racists!! Don’t waste your time here ! You in for a worst...
