Charles R Winery

Overall 4.5 out of 5My wife and I have been members for 2 or 3 years now.THE GOOD° The wine itself is EXCELLENT° Continually improving wines and innovating° The staff is super friendly and personable° Located in a crease of two hills. Nice location° Dog FriendlyTHE BAD° Interior could use some love and refinement- Dress it up a bit more, clean it up° Some kind of food options would be nice, even if it was a charcuterie or somethingTHE UGLY° Really wish they'd pave the driveway and parking lot- Makes it so we don't want to take the nicer car to Livermore

This is probably one of our new favorite wineries and tasting rooms to visit! Quaint, charming and a little secluded. We went in for a tasting and Bruce, the manager, took care of us. Made us feel right at home and walked us through the tasting. I'm not a big fan of white wines or rosés but they have a very nice selection that's worth a try. My wife and I are big fans of the reds. Once you've sampled some of their offerings, ask about their events and other tastings. We're very excited to come back and attend some of their events and experience their outdoor patio when the sunny weather returns. Thank you again, Bruce and Charles R. Vineyard for the awesome hospitality and the great selections from today's tasting!

Tastings were $15 pp and included 5 pours as well as 1 bonus pour and 1 revisit.We really enjoyed our experience here. The garden space is lovely and the employees were incredibly friendly.It wasn't the best wine we've had but based on the experience we would come back.

This place took a turn for the worse due to their Covid protocols. Came here for a tasting on a day where it was like 95 outside and there was no in door tasting, we had sit sit outside to do a tasting. It was not a fun tasing, at all,it was so bad that we did not even finish our tasting and just payed to go some where with ac. Wont be coming back here and do not recommend this place till Covid is gone.

We had such a lovely afternoon at this gem tucked away in the hills. There was a wonderful selection of wines included in the tasting and for $15 it was a steal compared to the rest of Livermore wineries. It definitely is a lowkey mom & pop winery without any big fancy vibe, which I appreciate rather than the big names. We were even treated with a port and the famous brownie at the end. Excellent service and such a fun manager at the tasting bar.

My wife and I had a lovely time at Charles R Winery. Wine was good and the staff was great.

Charles R was the host of Wine Wednesday this week. I forget how great the back patio is until I come back here and sit down with a bottle of wine. Great setting and great wine.

Great place to relax and catch up with friends. The inside of the tasting room is a descent size. The winery's garden-grounds at the back is big with various size tables with shades/pergola. Rion and Mary were kind, helpful, and attentive to their guests. I'm not a wine expert or drink it much but I personally thought the wine bottles my friend purchased were good. We were allowed to bring our own food which is a plus and had the best afternoon celebrating friendship after not seeing each other for over a year due to the pandemic. We'll be back!

Really nice place to come wine tasting. Small indoor seating area and large back patio. Wines are delicious- there was an extra fee to taste the port, but it came with a home made brownie.All the wines were good, but we really liked the port, so we were glad we paid a little extra to add that on. We also like the chardonnay, and we don't usually like whites, so that was a nice surprise.Everyone was welcoming and friendly and helpful. If you happen to be in Livermore and you are wine tasting, you might want to stop in here. It will be a big change from the huge commercial outfits like Wente and Concannon. A nice change.

Mother's Day was busy but well worth a visit especially last minute. They were friendly and accommodating. The out door area is so nicely laid out with beautiful trees and flowers. Most of the outdoor space was nicely shaded which is a plus!Some people brought in snacks but for Mothers Day they offered strawberry cake and roses for the moms. Next time would ask since we bought a bottle we get it cold or with a bottle holder. I know they were super busy though.Can't wait to visit again.
