Sip & Script | Modern Calligraphy for Beginners
Tuesday, April 21st
5:30-7:00PM
Join Sip & Script for Modern Calligraphy Fun!
Join us at McGrail Vineyards in Livermore, CA for pretty lettering! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, you’ll be introduced to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink in this workshop. We will cover all the basics and prepare you to add those unique lettered details to your snail mail, wedding paper goods, home decor, and more! The perfect crafty night out!
Tickets include 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs, black ink pot, 2 letter guides, tracing paper, and straight pen holder), and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop!
Feel free to arrive a little early, settle into your spot, and enjoy award-winning McGrail wines, available for purchase throughout the class. Wine will be offered by the glass and bottle so you can sip and savor at your own pace during the experience. You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks. Class will begin promptly at 5:30 PM!
Class Expectations: Yes, lefties are welcome too! This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics, and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style! If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!

LVWA Uncorked
Friday, May 15th
6:00-9:00PM
An evening of gold medal wines, live award announcements, and everything Livermore Valley does best.
Every bottle poured at Uncorked 2026 has earned a Gold Medal or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards — a rigorous, independent competition held to the highest standards in the industry, evaluated by a panel of respected wine professionals. To pour here, a wine had to prove itself. That’s what makes this evening different.
Join us at the stunning McGrail Vineyards & Winery for a night that celebrates the very best Livermore Valley has to offer — in the glass and on the stage.
The Evening
6:00 – 7:00 PM — Seminar
Start the evening with an intimate, expert-led seminar that goes beyond the pour. Hear directly from the people behind Livermore Valley’s wines and become apart of our community.
Seminar tickets are available individually or packaged with a general tasting ticket.
7:00 – 9:00 PM — Tasting Event
Join us outdoors on the front lawn of McGrail Vineyards & Winery and taste your way through Livermore Valley’s finest. Every wine available tonight earned a Gold Medal or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards. This isn’t a showcase of everything — it’s a showcase of the best.
The Main Event — Live Award Announcements
The evening culminates with the announcement of the Uncorked Best Red and Uncorked Best White — Livermore Valley’s highest wine honors. Eligible wines are those that received a Double Gold or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards from wines submitted from Livermore Valley wineries. The winners are revealed live, on the night.
Why This Matters
The California Signature Wine Awards is a new competition built on a simple idea: rigorous judging produces meaningful results. With strict standards for both the wines entered and the professionals who evaluate them, a gold medal here carries real weight. Every winery pouring tonight met that standard. That’s not something you’ll find at a typical wine event — and it’s exactly why Uncorked 2026 is worth your evening.
Tickets | Two ways to experience Uncorked 2026:
General Tasting Admission
Access to the full tasting event from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. Taste gold medal wines and be there for the live announcement of Uncorked’s Best Red and Best White.
Seminar + Tasting Package
The full evening experience — intimate seminar from 6:00 – 7:00 PM followed by the tasting event. Limited seats available for the seminar; package tickets are recommended.

Chardonnay Underground at Wente Family Vineyards
Celebrating Livermore Valley Chardonnay
Thursday, May 21st
5:00-8:00PM
Step into history for a night that could only happen in Livermore Valley. Set inside our iconic caves—the very place where Chardonnay first took root in California in the 1880s—this immersive evening celebrates the wine that put our region on the map.
Fourteen Livermore Valley winegrowers will come together to pour their unique expressions of Chardonnay, each one telling a different story of this remarkable grape. From bright and crisp to rich and layered, you’ll explore the full “Chardonnay rainbow” and discover just how dynamic this varietal can be.
Between tastings, enjoy wood-fired pizzas, pacific tide tacos, and a curated selection of artisanal cheeses from Brandon of The Cheese Shop (available for purchase). As the sun sets, live music will fill the tirage barrel room and spill out onto the patios—bringing the entire evening to life.
This isn’t just a tasting—it’s a celebration of legacy. Chardonnay’s journey in California began right here in 1881, when Charles Wetmore brought cuttings from Meursault to Livermore Valley. The Wente family continued that legacy, developing what would become the renowned Wente Clone—now believed to be the genetic foundation for nearly 75% of all California Chardonnay.
With warm days, cool nights, and coastal fog rolling in from the Pacific, Livermore Valley remains one of the most distinctive places to grow Chardonnay. And on this night, you’ll taste exactly why.
Come experience the past, present, and future of Chardonnay—all in one unforgettable evening.

Friday Night Live ft. Bryan Loweree
Join us at McGrail every other Friday night from June 19th to September 25th for Friday Night Live!
Friday, September 11th
6:00-9:00PM
Join us for a special Friday Night Live on our scenic Vineyard Patio for an evening of live music, great wine, and sunset views overlooking the beautiful Livermore Valley.
Set beneath glowing café lights with sweeping vineyard and valley views, this concert-style experience offers a more intimate, listening-room ambiance with seating provided. Relax and unwind as Bryan Loweree – a Nashville-based singer/songwriter touring as an original solo acoustic act – takes the stage. Though he now resides in Nashville, Bryan is originally from Manteca and was born right here in Livermore, making this performance a meaningful homecoming you won’t want to miss.
Enjoy McGrail wines available for purchase by the glass or bottle as you settle in for an evening of heartfelt originals, storytelling, and acoustic soundtracks perfectly paired with a vineyard sunset.
Tickets include entry and seating for the live performance.

Live Music| Bryan Loweree
Bryan Loweree, a Nashville-based country artist, crafts songs that resonate deeply with the human experience. Drawing from his own life, he weaves narratives of family, fatherhood, loss, and the nomadic spirit of a touring musician. Formerly the driving force behind Fargo’s 32 Below, Loweree now captivates audiences with his versatile performances. Whether solo, accompanied by a soulful cello trio, or igniting the stage with a full band, his storytelling through song is undeniable. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the heart of his music.
