Discover LocalWineEvents.com

It's no secret that one of my favorite wine-related websites is LocalWineEvents.com. Each of my Livermore Valley Wine Country Squidoo lenses includes an rss feed of local wine events. Since creating the series more than two years ago, I've noticed that more and more Livermore Valley wineries are taking advantage of LocalWineEvents.com to promote wine tastings and other events throughout the year.

For example, here are a couple of events taking place this weekend in the Livermore Valley:

On Sunday, May 16 from 12 to 4 pm The Steven Kent Winery & La Rochelle Winery are hosting their second annual Open House. Guests will receive a commemorative Riedel wine glass and a delicious lunch—Grilled Sausage Sandwich with Merrillie-sauteed Onions, Gourmet BBQ Potato & Bacon Salad, and Apricot-Mango Shortbread. Tom Duarte will be on hand to play Latin Guitar music while eight new wine releases make their debut! Full details are available here.

On Sunday, May 16 from 12 to 4:30 pm Page Mill Winery (pictured top right) will be hosting their popular b.y.o.b. event. Every third Sunday of the month, visitors bring used and clean wine bottles to the winery. The bottles are then filled, corked, and labeled by winery staff. The cost for this delicious and unique table wine is just $8.49 per bottle. Page Mill Winery offers their current topping blend, so the varietal mix changes every month. Find out more about this event here.

LocalWineEvents.com has been around for more than ten years, and is the world's largest calendar of food, wine, beer, and spirits events.

LocalWineEvents.com is the world's number one source for information. The website boasts more than 25,000 international Facebook fans!

It's easy (and free!) to submit an event for the LocalWineEvents.com calendar. I've included a banner on each of my Squidoo lenses to make it easy for winery owners and staff to spread the word about their latest winery events.
