Winery
Charles R Vineyards is part of the tasting rooms located off of Greenville Road. The tasting room is located at the end of an old mining road nestled among oak trees. Patrons can purchase wine by the glass or bottle to enjoy on the grounds. This location has patio areas and nature spaces that are perfect for a picnic lunch. Founded in 2002 by Charles and Bonne Bartlett, this label uses Livermore grapes to produce red varietals and dessert wines. We enjoyed the Vino de Amor Port made with Touriga National and Souzou grapes. Enjoy a tasting flight for $10 and dessert flight for $3. Outside food and pets on a leash are welcome.
