About Elliston Vineyards
Elliston Vineyards is built around one of the East Bay's great landmarks: a stone mansion in the Sunol hills whose winegrowing tradition reaches back more than 125 years. The property pairs the historic house with lush lawns, gardens, and the secluded Terrace Room, giving the whole estate an old-world air that few Bay Area wineries can match.
The wines stay true to the direct-from-the-estate ethos - hand-crafted reds, whites, rosé, and sparkling sold without a middleman at approachable prices. Tastings on the grounds are joined by a signature afternoon tea experience, bookable online, that has become an Elliston tradition in its own right.
Tucked just off Kilkare Road in tiny Sunol, minutes from both the Livermore Valley wine trail and the 680 corridor, Elliston is also one of the region's most beloved wedding and event venues. Check the website to book tastings, tea, or a tour, and confirm current times before visiting.
