Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery, Livermore CA

I hate to even share this gem for fear of it being overrun. The wines are excellent and the setting is heads and tails above any other in the area.

Absolutely wonderful place for tastings! The staff is so kind and friendly, the garden / outdoor seating area is beautiful, and all the wine is delicious! We brought a little picnic to have with our wine and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon!

It was our first time visiting this lovely winery and it was such a gem. This off the beaten path, friendly winery had plenty of shady tables but most of all 3 generous flights to choose from. Oh, and the wine was great as they pride themselves on using only Livermore Valley grapes to produce their wine. Take a picnic and enjoy their wonderful wine among their garden setting.

I just love this place. Low key with great wines. The setting is perfect for small groups. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We did a flight and then got a bottle of our favorite and spent the rest of a warm California autumn afternoon soaking in the vibes under a beautiful shade tree. They do not have a kitchen so they do not sell food. Next time we will bring our own charcuterie or reserve one for delivery ahead of time. Had a wonderful time

Nice small winery with some great wines especially the Petite Verdot. Small tables scattered around well separated from each weather. There are 2 dogs who did not come near us.

Worst Winery ever. The owner is super rude… he threatens people for parking, kids not staying on table, kids going to front desk to ask questions. He threatened to call the cops in front of our kids which traumatised my five year old daughter. On top of that he showed no remorse even when she started crying. Dogs not allowed but his own dogs are freely roaming around! Horrible horrible place. Super racists! Don’t waste your time here! You in for a worst horrible experience!

This is the worst winery experience we had so far. Nothing says kids not allowed. We have 4 kids who were told to sit on their chairs aka not even step away from the table. The winery owners have 2 dogs and they came over to our tables and one of the dogs got little aggressive with our daughter barking at her etc.no one came to take them away or let us know they are safe Dogs. They told us they will call the cops because kids are not sitting at the table and that made our daughter scared that police is going to come and put is in jail. They never finished our flight of wine but we paid and left. One of the worst winery experiences ever and we have been to many many wineries in the area. It was shocking!

This is the worst winery we have been to…Avoid it like plague. The host is super rude and he wanted us to keep quiet. The property is not well maintained. It’s not a place to spend any iota of your time and definitely not get your families here.the owners dog came unannounced… please avoid it at all cost…

Horrible experience. Threatened the kids, extremely rude. Owners have no respect for others and the experience is really bad. Pls find a better place and don’t waste your time!

Very good wines, but very understaffed. It took us almost an hour to get through the tasting flight.
