Our Story: Our winery was inspired by the lovely green hills and vineyards that surround Lake Del Valle. Del Valle Vineyard is a new, family-owned winery in California's gorgeous Livermore Valley, one of the state's oldest wine districts. Livermore Valley winegrowers have been nurturing this area and making wines that convey a sense of location since the 1840s. Pioneer winemakers settled and established vineyards in this region, enamored by the ideal terroir. Our Del Valle wines capture the essence of classic winemaking styles using the greatest fruits that Livermore has to offer, all while keeping their character and passions in mind. Winemakers and winegrowers at Del Valle collaborate to create great Livermore Valley wines.
