EVENT DETAILS:
Please join us for a day of wine tasting and touring of two beautiful Livermore Valley Wineries -- Wente and Bent Creek.
This is a great time to get out and enjoy some wine, learn about winemaking and connect with other UCSD alumni.
This event includes a boxed lunch (choice of Grilled Chicken Breast or Marinated Roast Pork Loin sandwiches), as well as a guided tour of the Wente facilities. There will be free private tastings at each location and special alumni discounts on purchases.
Livermore, located in the San Francisco Bay appellation, is 30 miles east of San Francisco. Livermore Valley boasts one of the original U.S. appellations granted by the BATF way back in October, 1982. This designation was largely based on the unique, gravel-based soils and the marine winds that are drawn into the valley every afternoon from San Francisco Bay. The geography of Livermore Valley has an east-west orientation, making it unique among northern California winegrowing regions. It is 15 miles long (east to west), 10 miles wide (north to south), and surrounded by coastal range mountains and foothills. From a climate standpoint, the east-west orientation of the valley allows the coastal fog and marine breezes to come in from the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay and cool the valley’s warm air, resulting in warm days and cool nights ideal conditions for producing fully-ripened, balanced fruit.
