Charles R Vineyards

The Bartlett Family has called the Livermore Valley home for more than four decades and began their wine story as a wine storage cellar in 2002, then continued on to wine making. This commitment to the place will make you feel like you are visiting an old friend. Grapes sourced from the Livermore Valley and Tracy Hills showcase classic varietals as well as some lesser known gems. Winemaker Lisa Lee first discovered Livermore wine country through classes at Las Positas College’s Viticulture and Winery Technology program. She later earned her Winemaking Certificate from the University of California, Davis, in 2012. She sees good food and wine as the cornerstone to friendship, laughter and important decision making. After living here for 8 years, Lisa has “totally fallen in love” with Livermore. “There are some really great winemakers and beautiful wines coming out of Livermore Valley right now,” said Lisa. “I am excited for the opportunity to contribute and be part of this community. My goal is to make wine that will convey a sense of place, balance and commitment to craft.”
