Our Story

John Christopher Cellars is a family owned winery located in the Livermore Valley producing around 1500 cases of heart and hand crafted wine each year.  We offer both red and white wines, with our main focus on Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. Our wines have received numerous awards as well as critical acclaim by a Bay Area food and wine critic, Narsai David. Starfall, a proprietary red wine blend, is one of our signature wines that is popular among both red and white wine drinkers. We recently opened a new tasting room in downtown Livermore. It is located in a historic building called Blacksmith Square and features a beautiful courtyard as well as unique shops and of course, our elegant tasting room.  We feature all our wines in this sophisticated yet casual setting.

We are within walking distance to many fine restaurants and other downtown Livermore attractions, including our new 10 screen movie theater and the Bankhead Performing Arts Center, which opened in October 2007.  John Christopher Cellars at Blacksmith Square is the perfect place to meet with friends and family as you discover all that our newly renovated downtown has to offer.   We also regularly have events on our courtyard including wine release parties, olive oil tastings, live music, art exhibits and other exciting events. All of our events and activities are listed on our Events Web Page. Please visit us soon!
