Incredible experience! Worth, every penny, this is one of the best wine tours I’ve taken in California, let alone in Livermore. Me and my husband took the Sip & Savor Wine Pairing Tour - starting at Las Positas Vineyards.
Our guide and driver Fernando was incredible, we stopped at three wineries, and every single winery gave us lots of wine and delicious bites. The first stop was at Las Positas Vineyard, where we got to experience a wine tree and a beautiful, charcuterie platter. They also offered us 20% off our wine purchases just for comingfrom the wine trolley!
Our second stop was to Concannon winery where we sat in their barrel room and we had a little charcuterie box to go. We also had a 15% discount on wine purchases. The last stop was to Garre in a private tasting room. We were greeted with bubbly and the pourer was incredibly sweet, named Danielle!
The wine trolley is completely enclosed so rain or shine, you can stay warm. Fernando passes out water between each stop and he also holds your wine in the front so you don’t have to worry about holding it. For the ticket price, this was well worth it to have such a high-level of service, so much wine and food, discounts for wine purchases, safe transportation, and not to mention, they played some incredible music on the trolley!
Sometimes you don’t know what to expect since you are with other people you have never met before, but everyone was so nice! We met some really awesome people who we exchanged phone numbers with. The other patrons who joined were really fun, respectful, and enjoyable to spend time with! We are definitely booking another tour! Book early because they fill up fast.

Read moreWe took the sip and savor trolley on Saturday, June 11th.
We did the 11:15 a.m. and the first stop was Concannon vineyards. Nick, who was the host on site there was very knowledgeable in the history of wines and vineyards in the area. They had a nice little boxed pairing collection with nuts and cheeses and fruit.
Second stop was at Garre vineyard. I forgot the lady's name who helped us but she was very high energy and very fun. She made that stop a blast. Their servings for the wine pairings were very beautifully presented on plates.
3rd and final stop was at Las Positas vineyard. This is the only one that was held indoors and was absolutely spectacular with the tower of wine flight and the absolutely spectacular pairing food presentation. Food was delicious. The general manager and chef gave a nice overview of the wines and the food and then you pair at your own pace. We were really happy this was the last stop because had it been the first, the others would have been a slight let down after seeing this even though we enjoyed all of them.
From beginning to end, our trolley driver, Fernando made the trip fun and enjoyable with his humor and musical selections that had the whole trolley singing between vineyards and on the way back. His final song is truly a winner! He was our favorite part of the entire tour.
Bottled water is handed out on the trolley between stops and they will hold all bottles that you buy at the vineyards until your final exit. Please tip well at every stop and especially...
Read moreMy wife and I invited four other couples to join us for the wine trolley. Our driver, George, was very friendly and energetic. At no time did he make us feel rushed or hurried. He was there to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. And we certainly did.
We are members at Garre, so I can vouch for the quality of their wines. But Las Positas and Concannon were also great experiences. At each winery we not only learned about the specific wines, but we found out about the rich history of wine making in the Livermore area. I am not going to tell you that you will love all the wines you taste. That's just not possible, but I will say you will enjoy the experience. The hosts at all three wineries were knowledgeable and made you feel very welcome. All three also offer great discounts of the wines they were serving.
The wine trolley was convenient, fun, and very enjoyable. All my friends agreed that this was a super fun way to spend the afternoon with friends while making some new friends...
