Retzlaff Vineyards

Tucked away at the end of an unpaved lane just outside of town, Retzlaff Vineyards is an estate winery that produces organic wines. It is currently the only organic winery in the Livermore Valley. Owned and run by the Taylor family for nearly 30 years, the winery produces world class wines yet maintains an atmosphere that is genuinely friendly and unpretentious. The small, folksy tasting room can easily get crowded, but visitors can enjoy their wine outdoors with a picnic on the lawn or at one of the old wooden tables or gazebo. The barn-like buildings and large surrounding yard with shade trees resemble an old New England farmhouse, and the toy tractors scattered around the lawn make this one of the more child-friendly wineries in the area.
