Our family venture began when Lisa and Lothar Maier purchased a 20 acre vineyard located on Kalthoff Commons in the southwest corner of the Livermore Valley in January 2006. We decided that the tasting room existing vineyard was not up to our standards. That year, we pulled the existing vines and tilled the soil so as to break the hardpan barrier 1828 Wetmore Road that resides below the surface of this region. We then planted small Livermore, parcels in different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo, Barbera, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay. Our labor of love began in earnest. Friday-Sunday: 11:30 am - 4:30 pm With our passion and efforts devoted to the vines, we believed that the name of our winery and vineyard needed to be true to the rich heritage of the Livermore Valley. Thus, we began to search through 925.449.9463 local history books and maps to find the perfect inspirational name www.laspositasvineyards.com for our endeavor. In our research, we learned that Robert Livermore named his original 40,000 acre property because of the many streams and watering holes that coursed through the land.

Today, Las Positas Vineyards is a family winery that produces small lots of estate grown wines with unique character and exceptional quality. Visit us and enjoy our wines and spectacular vineyard views. Wines & Vines
