Darcie Kent Vineyards

Delicious wines and great service. I've been here twice this year (Feb and June) and both times were great. We walked in both visits. In Feb, we only ordered bottles to enjoy with our picnic. So this time, we had to try their tastings. I got to sit at different patio areas. We had no idea that there's two areas. We came during Juneteenth recently and it was busy around 3pm. At first there was only 1 male staff to help all the tables, but later came 2 other staffs to help out. Poor man was running around trying to make everyone happy. We didn't want to rush him too much but we had to go up to the bar when we waited too long for our 3rd pour. They have a white tasting right for $25 and a red for $30. Both flights come with 4 wines. They aren't stingy when they pour the tastings. But you need to buy e bottles to waive one tasting fee. It was better to join the membership to waive 4 tastings. Which we should've done. We only did 2 tastings and 1 bottle of sauvignon blanc. They were about to waive those. Last time we also enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and this time it's still good. Most of the wines were good and bold. The restrooms were located in another building where the dispensary is across the parking lot. You need to walk across. Dog friendly. Bring a picnic to enjoy with the wines!Albariño- good , flavorful Turks vineyard sauv blanc- fruity, a bit acidic , good Rose of Malbec- alcoholic tasting Dog day Chardonnay- okTrisha vineyard pinot noir- earthy, smooth, light Crown block Merlot- fruity , good Firepit red wine- fruity , okClone 337 cab Sauv- earthy , smooth Sparkling rose- good

Fantastic winery. Good wines, nice property, great service, fair Livermore prices, can bring own food even though they sell snacks. Really nothing bad about it I had the mixed palette tasting for $40 which includes 3 whites and 3 reds. Every wine was good. They even offered me some additional off menu wines to taste. Pour sizes were normal Plenty of parking on their large property. Vineyard itself doesn't have an amazing or special view, but it's still nice. Outdoor and indoor seating available. They take walk ins and reservations. I would definitely go back. Only wish that it wasn't 3 bottle purchase to waive a tasting fee. Seems like a lot

Stacey was very hospitable and provided excellent service during our stop at Darcie Kent Vineyards. Seating outdoors was on a first come first serve basis. We started with a tasting each prior to selecting a bottle to share. The pours seemed a little inconsistent and super small in comparison to other wineries. It was a little disappointing but Stacey brought over another fifth pour at the end of a different red wine to try which made up for it. The winery had a fridge which consisted of boxed charcuterie. It was reasonably priced but I wish I had more meats to choose from. We had a lot of spread and jams but didn't have enough crackers to eat them with. All in all, it made for a nice day trip with the girls. In terms of purchasing bottles, I have other wineries which I am a fan of in the area. Cheers.

My friends and I went to Darcie Kent on a Friday morning. The winery had beautiful views of the neighboring vineyards, and the property even had a dispensary. The main tasting room was in a modern barnyard, which was also like a rustic art gallery. Actual paintings from Darcie Kent, as well as other paintings curated from local artists, hung all around the interior. They were certainly stunning and unique. We had a reservation for a tasting at 11am when it opened, and we were one of the first customers there. We were greeted by our lovely sommelier, who was just the sweetest. She was very knowledgeable and a good storyteller. What stood out to me was her explanation of the West vs East hill wines. We each did the mixed tasting, which included their seasonal whites and their reds. I'm not the biggest wine drinker, but I did enjoy what was offered.

I was hosting an event and the heat was excessive. Their internet was down, so I was unable to reach anyone ahead of time. We were scheduled to be outdoors, but I wanted to move our group indoors given that it was over 100 degrees outside. They were accommodating and friendly. We shifted from a tasting menu to bottle service which was fine by us. We were grateful for the AC! Here are three of the wines we had--all delicious. NOTE: In September 2022 they rented the house to a Cannabis distributor. The winery is now exclusively operated out of the barn and barrel room I. The back of the property.

Had a great time wine tasting and picking up my club shipment yesterday with some girlfriends. Love the laid back atmosphere at Darcie Kent along with the high quality wine selection. The service is always top notch! Can't wait to come back for more!

Love the fact that this winery is all about the color purple, even the barn is purple. Family-owned, friendly, spacious, dog-friendly and non-pretentious with some award winning wines. You get to taste 6 wines for $20. Our wine tasting included the Cabernet Franc, which is kinda rare to find in our area. I really liked the Chardonnay, the Zinfandel and the Port from the wines we tasted. The weather was beautiful so we sat outdoors and were very well taken care of. There's no food onsite but they encourage you to bring your own if you want to. There were quite a few locals who seemed like regulars. They bought their bottle(s) of wine and sat there enjoying conversation. Also watched this one group of ladies setting up a table for a birthday celebration. I checked with the hostess and was told that you can reserve a table for $20, bring your own food and have yo option of either purchasing the wine bottles onsite or get the wine tasting. If you are in the area, do check it out.

We enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting experience today at Darcie Kent. The location was beautiful and the service was excellent. A special shout out to our wonderful wine server Carolyn. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and we will definitely go back.

Great area and beautiful views, did a wine tasting for a friend's birthday. Pours were decent and got a charcuterie plate, little pricy but the wine made up for it.

Waited a long time for the tasting. They had so many guests but short on staff. Had to go to the counter to ask for the next wine to taste. Ambiance is nice, but the service wasn't there. I felt rushed.
