1976-2009: 33 Years of Medal-Winning Winemaking in the Livermore Valley

"Fran and I started Fenestra Winery in 1976 at the old Ruby Hill/Stony Ridge Winery. As I recall, there were only 5 wineries at that time: Wente, Concannon, Villa Armando, Stony Ridge and Fenestra. I was still teaching Chemistry full-time at San Jose State University, and we were living in San Jose. We moved our winery to our present location in 1980. We have seen remarkable changes in the Livermore Valley with the planting of new vineyards and the emergence of new wineries (now 35)." - Lanny Replogle, Owner

FENESTRA WINERY STARTS NEW BLOG!

We started a new blog about the goings on of the winery during the year. Check it out here!  Read about  the crush, the new solar energy system, and more!

WINE BY THE GLASS!

Ever been at the winery and wanted a glass of wine to sit outside by creek and enjoy the beautiful Livermore Valley countryside? Now Fenestra is offering wine by the glass at our tasting room. Price for a glass ranges from $4-7/glass depending of the original price of the corresponding bottle of wine.

Prices:

Wines where the bottle price is up to $15 = $4/glass
Wines where the bottle price is up to $20 = $5/glass
Wines where the bottle price is over $20 = $6/glass
Premium wines (bottle price is over $30) = $7/glass

MAY 1, 2009

Fenestra will start to charge  a $5.00 tasting fee for each person in the tasting room. The $5.00  is refundable upon purchase of a bottle of wine during that visit. Members of our Fenestra Fanatics do not have to pay for tasting fee.

FENESTRA WINERY RECEIVES 13 MEDALS AT 2008 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMPETITION!
Fran and Lanny Replogle of Fenestra Winery are pleased to announce that Fenestra Winery received 13 medals at the 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition! Included are two gold medals for the 2006 Chardonnay, Livermore Valley, and the 2006 White Riesling, Arroyo Seco. Overall, Fenestra Winery received two gold medals, eight silver medals and three bronze medals.

Fran and Lanny Replogle, owners of Fenestra Winery, celebrate 30 years of award winning winemaking in the Livermore Valley With a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, winemaker Lanny Replogle’s aim is to produce flavorful well-balanced wines with a lot of varietal character. “I like the challenge of making each varietal, each year, an individual wine.”

The charming winery site dates back to the 19th century when George True, a German immigrant, constructed the winery building and planted the first vineyards on the property.

 

Tasting Room Hours

The tasting room is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 PM. At Fenestra you can taste wines inside the winery surrounded by wine aging in barrels, and in the company of Fenestra Fanatics, immensely loyal and enthusiastic members of Fenestra’s Wine Club. A creek and vineyards edge the shaded picnic area. The ambiance is that of no-frills, country winery where the owners greet every visitor as a welcome guest, and the guests soon become old friends.

NEW: Take a tour of the tasting room!

Library Tastings Every Weekend

We have started a regular program of sampling up to three library wines for a nominal fee of $5.00 ($3.00 for Fanatics). These wines are available in limited  quantities for purchase. We have poured several wines, including '89 Merlot, '92 Cabernet Sauvignon, Livermore Valley and '96 Zinfandel, Lodi. These tastings are very popular. However, since the quantities of these wines are quite limited, the lineup will change periodically.
