Bent Creek Winery

If you're looking for great wine to taste in Livermore, you came to the right place!On a sunny Saturday in July, four of us set out to visit Livermore for their abundance of winning wines. The drive into Bent Creek Winery leads to a quaint lot.Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed with wine! Specifically the 2022 Chardonnay, which we ended up having a bottle of at our umbrella table outside by the vines, enjoying live music by a talented singer. The patio offers ample covered outdoor seating. We loved the Chardonnay so much we ended up with a bottle of 2022 Sauvignon Blanc. Both were delicious and refreshing on a summer's day with the table snacks we brought with us.The staff at Bent Creek were all very friendly, and very helpful with answering questions about the winery. While I didn't stray far off to explore the property, I'm looking forward to visiting again to taste more of Bent Creek.

The wine, service, ambiance was all exceptionally amazing! From the moment we arrived wine tasting and pleasant greeting was offered before seated. The host was busy seating another so another associate came to attend to up. Not just offer wine but a pleasant conversation and a warm welcome. 2022 Chardonnay was wonderful 2016 Cabernet Sav was amazing2017 Zin also delightful The service was impeccable I enjoyed the experience so much I sign up as a member. A hidden gem!Family friendly.

Nice little family run winery it feels like. They have ample outdoor seating so it's pet friendly. No fans so can get hot.The lady working our table was older and you can tell she was a hard worker trying to sell us the membership. The wine tastings are $20 and they give you many rounds. I wanted to buy the local honey and they totally could have up sold me and more but didn't lol left empty handed

We usually go to Napa wineries and are members there. We never have heard of Livermore wineries. A friend who is a member to this winery brought us here. We were enjoying the ambience and service from Rex, Rex was great. The wine was just ok IMO. Rex brought a port we enjoyed. There was a band we were enjoying and it was a pretty day and a nice setting to be outside by the vineyard. Rex told us to take our time and enjoy our last tasting. About 20 minutes later an older man approached us looking upset. We think he may have been an owner of the winery. He said "we close at 4:30, we would like to leave." His demeanor and tone of voice made us very uncomfortable. He said, "the chair you are sitting on is private property, it does not belong here and needs to be returned." I said "I'm sorry, we did not realize the time, Rex told us to take our time and the chair was already here when we sat down, we did not put it there."He said, "it is 5pm, it's been a long day, we would like to leave." We all looked at each other in disbelief. What terrible customer service. Our friend is a member and that is how a member gets treated? I'm a direct person, I don't have a problem with being direct. But be direct with giving a person dignity and respect. Rudeness says a lot about one's character. Have you ever heard of this quote? ... "Rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength. " The photo we took was before the older man asked us to leave. There was three groups still sitting and enjoying there wine, they were still there when we left. We've never had this terrible treatment/ service in Napa. Maybe that's why we've never heard of Livermore wineries.

Came and did a tasting with my sister in law. The staff were so sweet and helpful. Sue was absolutely amazing and constantly made sure that we were okay and took care of all of our needs. We each got a glass after the tasting and then each went home with bottles. Definitely will be back.

You can't beat the price of $15 wine tasting. We were greeted with a welcome wine (1st one from the tasting). We made a reservation online. I apologized for being 10 minutes late but they said "it doesn't matter" (that we were late). The grounds are beautiful and we could sit where we wanted and chose next to the vineyard. We were given a basket to choose a snack and a water bottle.Service got better towards the end as the beginning felt a bit robotic. The flight included 1 white + 4 reds. She brought them out 1 at a time and then the 2 cabs together (different years). At this point, the lady asked us our favorite so far and I said I enjoyed the first one as I prefer white wines. She kindly offered to let me have more chardonnay for my last 2 tastings. I appreciated that. She offered a 6th pouring and said they were doing a Port that day. She brought us both a chocolate but I didn't have the Port. Hubby enjoyed the combination though You can bring your outside food. We did! Just make sure to bring napkins and stuff. I do wish they'd offer a white flight for those who aren't fond of reds.

Wine, service, ambiance are all exceptional. Offered a glass of savingon blanc when we arrived, followed by snacks a d water. All the wines well tried were fabulous, the service was outstanding. The grounds are beautiful. We will be back!

We became wine club members while I was pregnant with our first (ok hubs did since I wasn't drinking). We've stayed members since because we enjoy coming for the quarterly wine pick up parties and of course their wines are good (especially if you like zins)! It's a smaller winery so it's fun to support local too Now it's a fun outing with the family and my kids get to pick some snacks! This time they even let us taste some of the Syrah grapes from the vine!

Really enjoyed this winery! The people here are so, so friendly and the outdoor space is pleasant and welcoming. We had a group of 8 people, which was no problem for them -- they brought us to an area where we had a couple of seating options depending on how much sun/shade we wanted. A few people in our party did the wine tasting, which was reasonably priced. We were fans if the Cabernet Franc and ordered a bottle for the table (as well as a couple of bottles to-go). I love that they offer an assortment of snacks! They are also fine with folks bringing in food, so you can easily picnic here. Five stars for the absolutely lovely people and the casual and relaxing atmosphere. I'd come again!

I have been here on 2 social occasions and found the food and the atmosphere delightful
