A Visit to Rios-Lovell Winery

rios-lovell-winery There are those who say that the arrangement of small tables and comfortable chairs in the tasting room at Rios-Lovell Winery in California’s Livermore Valley makes the wine taste better. Whether it does or not, it certainly makes the tasting experience more enjoyable and welcoming. Hospitality director, Jill Reya, describes the setting as one of comfortable elegance, and she is absolutely right.

While you’re tasting you may want to fill out an application to join the Taster’s Club and check over the Events Calendar to plan some interesting future visits. You can also take a stroll through the gift displays with its hard-to-resist array of picnic baskets – outfitted with all the utensils and dishware for a twosome or a party of four.

Continue on around the room and notice the colorful cutting boards and trays, the pottery selections, and whimsical, mythical ceramic beasts. If you think someone is whistling at you, don’t be embarrassed or annoyed. It probably is only Vino, the cockatiel, who was adopted from bird rescue by the winery after he had made himself at home in a cabana by the pool.

If there is a wedding, a graduation, corporate meeting, class reunion or any other celebratory event in your future you need look no farther than Rios-Lovell Winery for the perfect setting. Resting like a precious jewel on a knoll just above the winery, the Rios-Lovell Events Center is surrounded by velvety lawns and vivid bursts of floral color. There are two spacious rooms: the entry room, suitable for more intimate groups and the main dining room for larger parties.

With annual production set at a moderate 5500 cases, the emphasis for distribution is on the local community. It is relatively easy to find Rios-Lovell wines on the lists at restaurants in the Livermore Valley and San Francisco, but the easiest place to find them is at Rios-Lovell Winery itself at 6300 Tesla, Livermore.
