Making wine in Livermore Valley is special because the winemakers here are very close and often family. They offer help each other in time of need. Alexandra Henkelman is Owner and Winemaker at Omega Road Winery and her father is a major part of the team. I met up with Alexandra at the relaxed and welcoming tasting room on Vasco Road just a few weeks ago. There’s a lot going on in Livermore Valley and if you are a wine lover, this is the place to be.

You can also hear Alexandra on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Stewardship”.
