Friends_Vineyards is a brand dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Livermore Valley area as one of California's most historic and premium wine-growing regions. Originally founded in 1981 as Save the Vineyards, the brand was created to protect the local vineyards and wineries from encroaching development. Friends of Open Space and Vineyards played a vital role in the establishment of the South Livermore Valley Area Plan and County Measure 'D,' which ensure the preservation and enlargement of the vineyard/winery area and limit development outside city boundaries.

They support the Tri-Valley Conservancy and appoint a board member to ensure the preservation of vineyard land through conservation easements. With its picturesque scenery, gravelly soil, and moderate Mediterranean climate, the Livermore Valley is home to over 60 wineries and numerous grape growers. Friends_Vineyards actively encourages support for valley wineries and grape growers and strives to prevent the valuable viticultural lands from succumbing to encroaching development.

They invite you to join them in their endeavor to preserve this important asset of the Livermore Valley, the East Bay Area, and the State of California
