History
Watch us grow!
Our new family venture began when Lothar and Lisa Maier purchased a 20 acre vineyard located on Kalthoff Common in the southwest corner of the Livermore Valley in January 2006. We immediately made the decision to keep the land as a vineyard. However, we decided that the existing vineyard was not up to our standards.
That year, we pulled the existing vines, tilled the soil so as to break the hardpan barrier that resides below the surface of this region and planted small parcels in different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petite Verdot, Tempranillo, Barbera, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay. Our labor of love began in earnest.
With this “investment” of passion, time, effort and money we believed that the name of our winery and vineyard needed to be true to the rich heritage of the Livermore Valley. Thus, we began to search through local history books and maps to find the perfect inspirational name for our endeavor. In our research, we learned that Robert Livermore named his original 40,000 acre property Rancho Las Positas because of the many streams that coursed through the land.
Today, Las Positas Vineyards is a family business that produces small lots of estate grown wines with unique character and exceptional quality. We work with other wine artisans who share our passion for producing the best possible wine.
In June 2010, the Maier family will open a new tasting room at 682 Pinnacle Place (near Greenville Road and National Ave.) in Livermore. To start, business hours will be on Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM to 5 PM. However, you can contact us at any time to schedule a private tasting or buy wine.
Later in the summer of 2010, we will break ground on a new state of the art production winery located in the estate vineyard. Upon completion of this facility, Las Positas Vineyards will be in constant control of every wine we offer to our consumers.
