pivotal role in shaping California's wine industry. Spanish missionaries planted the first wine grapes in the
Livermore Valley in the 1760s. In the 1840s, California pioneers looking for outstanding vineyard sites began
planting grapes in the region. Robert Livermore planted the first commercial vines in the 1840s. Pioneer
winemakers C. H. Wente, James Concannon, and Charles Wetmore recognized the area's winegrowing potential and
founded their wineries in the early 1880s.

Valley captured America's first international gold medal for wine in 1889 at the Paris Exposition, putting California on the world wine
map.

"Thanks for a wonderful day in Livermore. Everything was so well organized and so easy for us
participants to just follow along! I was mellow yellow after I got home. I think the day in the sun
(oh ya- and the wine) was the perfect relaxant. Thanks so much for everything!!"
