You can't beat this - a fun drive, a private tour and tasting at Keller Estate, a tour of an exclusive private car collection, and lunch with fellow p-car fans. (Get the event flyer here for full details and RSVP information - registration deadline is Feb 8th.) There is a fee of $66 but that covers the tasting, a bottle of wine, and lunch. This event is going to be very popular, so be sure to sign up early and reserve your place! Please note that you must both mail a check to Diablo's PO box and RSVP directly to organizer Lillie Echevarria to secure your place.

Every year the vineyards and wineries around the Livermore Valley celebrate the holidays by opening their tasting rooms, hosting craftsmen and artists, and inviting carollers and visits from Santa. This year Linda and Pat Schmidt will lead a tour on December 3rd - get the full flyer here. The tour will depart after breakfast at the Buttercup Pantry in Walnut Creek at 9:30AM, travel by backroads to stops at Kassabian Motors and the Arlen Ness Museum in Dublin, and continue afterwards to Elliston Vineyards. After arriving at Elliston, folks are on their own to enjoy the events there and at nearby venues. There is no fee for this tour, but note that various sites may impose their own fees.
