Arroyo Cellars

We walked in at 4pm on a Sunday. It was empty. $15 tasting fee of 6 wines. The wines weren't really good for us. Nothing really stood out for us to purchase any wines. They did allow us to eat our charcuterie snacks. Easy parking lot shared without stores.

Came here after attending an event around the corner and soooo glad we came in for a tasting! Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable not only about their wines but other wines in Livermore and Lodi. We even got a great history fact about Lodi's grapes during prohibition. They are also run by a group of friends. Their Chardonnay was fruity but had a kiss of oak. I don't really like butter Chardonnay so this was the perfect balance of fruit and creaminess. Their Zin was also very good and great for warmer days where you want a red but lighter body. The rosado was also refreshing and enough tart. Perfect for hot summer days we've been having in the Bay Area.

This is my second time to Arroyo Cellars and it was one of the stops for the Barrel Tasting Weekend on Vasco Row in Livermore. This place is fabulous! The owners Chrysanne, Tim, and Tracey were hospitable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I tasted wines from the barrel, 2023 Sauvignon Blanc with a hint of Chardonnay, and 2022 Petite Sirah they were really good. A nice start to the weekend. The tasting room is small but ample seating at the bar area. Their tasting fee is $15, wine club, and various events.

Arroyo is my go-to wine for Lovermore Valley. The tasting room is so cute with friendly staff and the wine is always delicious! You have to try the Arroyo Rojo, its the best!

We came here with friends for a Halloween special wine tasting paired with a Charcuterie Box filled with special Halloween goodies made by Brie Grazing Boards. Everything about this experience was wonderful! We decide to give this wine tasting experience a try, right after we got a small break from the COVID craziness sometime last summer, and this was the first time we actually forced ourselves to get out and do something fun! Tables were nicely placed more than 6 ft away from each other. Which made us feel safe.The owners came to greet us, such a wonderful couple! They took good care of us, even brought a box of activity & coloring books to keep the kiddos in our party busy! We absolutely LOVED our experience! The wines were YUM! Our favorite was their 2017 Carneros Rosé! Food was paired perfectly and was DELICIOUS! The hosts are lovely, knowledgeable and very friendly. We ended our wonderfully relaxing wine tasting experience by getting a bottle of their Carneros Rosé and our kiddos got trick-o-treating candy!! How fun!!We will definately be back here this summer! Can't wait!!

We were next door purchasing a bathroom mirror and they had an event going on so we decided to check it out. Sure enough, Lukas Pizza drew us in and we ended up purchasing a glass of wine!Wine and service was good. We'll have to come back for a tasting so I can upgrade my review.

Wine tasting is reasonably priced with generous pours. Staff gives you a helpful but quick explanation so you can enjoy the wine. I love the contrast between the industrial neighborhood and cozy tasting room setting. We did ours outdoors and there was ample spacing and shade. Wines were reasonably priced and we took home half a case.

Arroyo Cellars definitely deserves 5 stars! I felt welcome from the moment I stepped into the door. Owners were so attentive to my party's needs and educated us on their variety of wines. We absolutely loved the 2015 Zinfandel. My new favorite local winery!!!

They have puppies for adoption through a local rescue and wine what better can it get!
