A two-day Contra Costa & Lamorinda wine country itinerary: where to taste, eat and linger, built from local knowledge.
Saturday for the Brentwood estates and downtown room, Sunday evening at Local Vines with Lafayette dinner to close.
The region sits inside the East Bay, 20 to 45 minutes from Oakland without crossing a bridge, which makes the logistics easy and the pace unhurried.
Year-round: Lamorinda pours through winter and the Brentwood estates shine spring through crush.
Confirm hours before every stop; the family-scale rooms that make this region special also adjust their schedules with the seasons.
Every winery we track in the region, each with its own page.
