The applicant, The Wine Group, is proposing the construction of a new 50,615 square foot (sq. ft.) building on the northwest corner of the property. The buildings’ primary function would be to provide additional storage space for wine supplies and materials (e.g., dry bottles and boxes, packaged cases of wine), and administrative offices for existing employees. The building would provide a dedicated warehouse space to store equipment and supplies to support existing production operations. Alameda County is the lead agency for this project and has prepared this MND. FINDINGS An IS has been prepared to assess the projects potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Based on the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project would not have any significant effects on the environment once mitigation measures are implemented.

  • Murrieta's Well: Historical Timeline
    MURRIETA’S WELL: HISTORICAL TIMELINE 1850s Joaquin Murrieta, a legendary bandito, roams California during the Gold Rush era. Murrieta earns a reputation and a livelihood rounding up cattle and horses that then ran wild in the California open range, driving them down to Mexico to sell to the Mexican Army, a very lucrative business. Larger than life for these escapades and for taking revenge against American miners who assaulted his wife and killed his brother, Murrieta’s reputation spreads as far south as Chile. During his crusades he set up base camps up and down the coast range. Murrieta and his men often stopped to water their horses at an artesian well bubbling up from the floor of the Livermore Valley at the base of the Arroyo Mocho, today the site of Murrieta’s Well Winery. 1870s Louis Mel, pioneering businessman, emigrates from France to the United States, setting up insurance agencies all over the west from Canada to Mexico. During his travels, Mel falls in love with the Livermore Valley in California. There, Mel buys a charming property with a flowing stream and an artesian well the locals call “Murrieta’s Well.” Mel’s discovery of this natural source of water and the unusually gravelly soil capture his attention due to its likeness to some of greatest vineyard sites in France. Mel buys the surrounding land and builds a gravity-flow winery into the hillside adjacent to the well, where the century old walls of river rock and cement still stand. 1880s In 1884, Louis Mel’s wife writes a letter to her childhood friend, the wife of the Marquis de Lur-Saluces at the famous Chateau d’Yquem in Bordeaux, introducing fellow Livermore Valley pioneer Charles Wetmore.
