Join McGrail Vineyards for Livermore Valley’s Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend, where guests can sample wines straight from the barrel, meet the winemaking team, and pre-purchase selections before they are bottled.

This experience features a comparative tasting of three Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon clones—Clone 8, Clone 15, and Clone 30—sourced from two estate properties. While crafted using similar fermentation and aging techniques, each wine highlights the unique influence of vineyard location and clone selection.

Guests can also enjoy an interactive aroma bar, browse offerings from local vendors, and purchase delicious bites from a food truck on site. It’s a unique opportunity to explore the winemaking process while enjoying a lively and engaging day at the winery.
