The Great Elephant Migration
Thirty life-sized elephant sculptures arrive in the Tri-Valley
Each elephant is handcrafted by Indigenous artisans in southern India from an invasive weed, and modeled on a real elephant they live alongside.
They are built from lantana camara, an invasive weed that chokes out native plants and drives wildlife from its habitat. Clearing it helps the forest recover.
The herd has been on the road since 2024, with stops in Newport, New York, and Boston. Now their next stop is Livermore, the herd's only stop in California this year.
Halloween Bash at Concannon
This Halloween, we’re transforming the Concannon Barrel Room for a full night of costumes, music, dancing, and a few surprises.
The Barrel Room will get a Halloween takeover with upgraded décor, animatronics, fog, lighting, and effects throughout the space. AmosPro DJ will keep the party going all night.
Come dressed up, bring your friends, and grab food from local food trucks throughout the evening. The bars will be pouring Concannon and Cuda Ridge wines, along with beer.

TASTE: The Livermore Valley Wine Experience
Plan a weekend you'll remember with events you won't forget.
This October, the Livermore Valley wine community invites you to make it a weekend — a carefully curated lineup of experiences you won't find anywhere else, dreamed up by the winemakers, chefs, and growers who know this valley best. These aren't your standard tastings. They're the events you're not going to want to miss.
It all starts with decadence. Taste Our Terroir returns Thursday night to kick off the weekend in style — and this year it moves indoors to the newly renovated Concannon Vineyard Event Center. Twenty winery-and-restaurant teams go head-to-head with their best pairings, and for the first time ever, we're introducing the Industry Best award, where the competing teams cast votes for their favorite pairing of the night. You'll vote too — for Best Red and Best White — before the celebration spills outside for an awards ceremony and dancing under the stars.
From there, the weekend unfolds with something new at every turn:
Friday — Sip and savor your way through Cheese, Chocolate & Cheers!, step into a literary happy hour at A Taste of Stories, then trade your glass for boots at Cattle, Cabernet & Country under the stars at McGrail Vineyards.
Saturday — Walk the vines with legendary grower Julio Covarrubias & Friends at Taste YOUR Terroir, bring Bourbon Street to wine country at A New Orleans Afternoon, then slip into the 1920's at Barrels & Bootleggers: A Speakeasy Wine Affair.
Sunday — Toast the rise of Livermore sparkling at Bubbles, Brunch & B-Sides, cuff your pants for a harvest grape stomp at Stomp, Pour & Pair, or take a deep dive into aromatic whites at 2 Winemakers, 1 Aromatic Journey.
Concannon Harvest Estate Blocks Ebike Tour
Experience Concannon Vineyard at one of the most beautiful times of the year
Join Winemaker Brett Fikse for an intimate guided e-bike tour through the historic Concannon estate during the heart of harvest season. As the vineyard transitions into fall, golden leaves, crisp morning air, and the excitement of harvest create a truly unforgettable backdrop for this small-group experience.
Your morning begins with a welcome reception and fitting for a premium Pedego electric bike before setting out across the estate. Designed for all experience levels, the ride follows scenic vineyard paths and select estate blocks, offering access to areas rarely seen by guests.
Along the way, Brett will share insights into the 2026 harvest, vineyard management, and the winemaking process, giving guests a firsthand look at what makes this season so important. You'll visit our Chardonnay vineyard along Arroyo Mocho Creek, enjoy stunning vineyard views, and learn about Concannon's role in shaping Livermore Valley wine country.
Following the ride, gather beneath our historic Grape Arbor for a curated tasting flight of estate wines paired with an individual charcuterie box. Relax, ask questions, and enjoy the beauty of harvest season surrounded by the vineyards that produced the wines in your glass.
Harvest only comes once a year, and this experience is limited to a small number of guests. Reserve your spot today for a unique opportunity to experience Concannon during one of the most exciting and beautiful seasons in the vineyard.
