Our Favorite Things to do Around Town
Simply Fondue
An all time favorite of Alyssa's. She has celebrated almost every birthday here since they opened. Anyone who knows Alyssa knows she doesn't have the largest of appetites... but the food here is so amazing that she can easily put away 3 or 4 courses!
One of, if not the BEST, place for cocktails in downtown Livermore.
Monica's
Located just off the main hustle and bustle of downtown Livermore, this is an absolute must for breakfast and brunch lovers!! They also have some of the best coffee around - which is hard earned praise coming from Alyssa.
Retzlaff Vineyards
A personal favorite of the Camargo's. They offer tasting reservations Friday-Monday.
This adorable winery is so emblematic of the small-town feel of Livermore, but with wines that will remind you that you are merely a stone's throw away from Napa Valley.
Murrieta' Well
Scenic winery dating from the 19th century, with a historic barrel room, tasting bar & patio. This is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy Livermore wine - with the added bonus of having some of the best cheese and charcuterie boards. We will be visiting this during our wine tasting tour!
Nottingham Cellars
You'll be remiss if you don't check out this delicious tasting room! Highly recommend!!
Concannon Vineyards
Beautiful vineyard with an incredible history. They have a wonderful gift shop if you're looking to add some accessories to your wine collection.
Napa Valley
The world renowned Napa Valley is about 1.5 hours away from Livermore.
If you are able to make the trip - you definitely should! The views alone are worth it.
Our ABSOLUTE favorite wines hail from the Far Niente and Nickel and Nickel vineyards.
Wente Vineyards
You are going to be hard pressed to find a better wine than what they're pouring at Wente Vineyards. But that's why we're having our wedding there!
Downtown Livermore
Downtown Livermore has a really unique collection of bars to explore! Here is a list of our recommendations.
Pennyweight Craft Brewing - A great place to taste local beers!
Swirl on the Square - If you are looking for another wonderful place to taste some wine, but don't want to venture out of the downtown area, this adorable little venue is the place to do it.
Aviation - a rooftop bar in the middle of downtown Livermore (a great place to start the night and appreciate the views).
Hops and Sessions - Great beer and great food
Tap 25 - Beer flights and live music
Rebel Kitchen and Libations- Strong drinks and good music
Railroad Saloon - Check this out if you're looking for good music and a place to play some pool.
V&E - If you are looking for small town dive bar vibes - look no further!
Del Valle Park
The Del Valle park is in the next town over - Pleasanton. The gorgeous lakeside views make this worth the little extra drive time. There are several trails available, so you can choose whichever path best suits you.
