Winery
Located in Livermore, Cedar Mountain is the personal label of Earl and Linda Ault. These winemakers are producing highly acclaimed dessert wines on Reuss Road. It’s not uncommon to find either winemaker speaking with guests and pouring behind the counter. Cedar Mountain was previously located on Tesla Road, in the space now occupied by Darcie Kent. This label hosts different events throughout the year that feature live music and BBQ. We always arrive unannounced and walked in on a, “Cork Your Own Wine Event.” We recommend the Port and Chocolate event hosted on Valentine’s Day. Dessert wines at this location include white selections that are made with Chardonnay. Enjoy a tasting flight for $10 waived with a two bottle purchase. Reservations are need for groups of six or more. Outside food is welcome but pets are not allowed at this time.
