Why do you sell Reserve and Heritage wines at the tasting room only?
We make those wines in very limited quantities. We reserve them for our Gatekeeper members and if any of these wines are available, they are available at the tasting room.

When was Concannon established?
Concannon Vineyard was established in 1883 and the original planting was 40 acres. Grape cuttings that would do well in Livermore’s rocky, gravelly soil were obtained from France. Jim Concannon: “Grandfather was selling Petite Sirah cuttings to the Mexican government in 1890 so I guess you can say our vineyard operation was pretty far along if he was already selling cuttings less than 10 years after planting the land.”

How many acres does Concannon have in the Livermore Valley?
Concannon has roughly 200 acres planted and about 109 of that is Petite Sirah.

What sets Livermore apart as a wine country region?
Livermore is undergoing a wine Renaissance. Wine growing has a heritage in the area dating back to the 1800s. Legendary winemakers like James Concannon, CH Wente and Charles Wetmore chose this area because of its fertile, rich soil and grape-growing climate. Livermore is like what Napa was over 30 years ago. The wineries are small and have a real familial connection.
