Nestled in the picturesque Livermore Valley, Charles R Vineyards offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For over four decades, the Bartlett family has called this enchanting valley home. Their journey into the world of wine began in 2002 as a humble wine storage cellar, eventually blossoming into a full-fledged winery. This deep-rooted connection to the land imbues every visit with the warmth and familiarity of seeing an old friend. Our tasting room is a hidden treasure, nestled between the rolling hills at the end of Greenville Road. It’s a place where the road less traveled leads to unforgettable experiences. The winery exudes a relaxed country charm, inviting you to unwind and savor the moment. Picture yourself sitting on our beautiful garden patio, a glass of our hand-crafted, award-winning wine in hand, as you soak in the tranquil surroundings. At Charles R Vineyards, we take pride in showcasing the Livermore Valley’s rich terroir. Our grapes are sourced from this very land, allowing us to offer a range of classic varietals alongside some lesser-known gems. Each bottle is a testament to the valley's unique climate and soil, crafted with passion and precision to ensure the highest quality. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious newcomer, our winery offers a welcoming atmosphere for all. We invite you to explore our selection, each sip revealing the dedication and love that goes into every bottle. Come, sit a spell, and let us share our passion for wine with you at Charles R Vineyards—where every visit feels like coming home. The Caires estate offers spectacular views of rolling hills stretched out among painted skies, creating the perfect setting for growing the most delectable yet unpretentious wines California has to offer. Three microclimates and a diverse terroir, ranging from a low, cold creek bed to a rocky hillside slope — replete with an interesting clay and static soil makeup — contribute layers of complexity and depth to BoaVentura wines. BoaVentura wines are truly handmade. The grapes are hand-picked by family and friends, and Brett and Monique take pride in crafting wines that BoaVentura Baptiste de Caires would be proud of. After all, his spirit is manifested in the name of the winery, Boa Ventura, or “Good Venture.”
