Livermore Valley, CA — Tenuta Vineyards

Tucked away in the neighborhood of Ruby Hills Vineyard Estates off highway 84 is the winery called Tenuta. It’s been open since 2003 and because it is so new, everything is up to ADA code. You can pull almost right up to the entrance, which looks like the photo on the left.

The only wines that Tenuta Vineyards produces is a Pinot and and Chardonnay. Everything else is purchased from other wineries, many of which from the Livermore Valley. Besides wines, there were unique crafts and jewelry for sale.

The bar was a large half circle design to create a comfortable space between parties. However, what was particularly  about this place was a entertainment lounge adjacent to the wine tasting bar, equipped with leather couches and a flat screen television. This of course was the spot where most of the men were hanging out, enjoying Sunday football with a glass of wine. For someone in a wheelchair to access this area, however, one must go outside and up a small ramp to reach this level.
