McGrail Vineyards & Winery Description

This newly opened winery specializes in rich flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon. Their brand new building sits on top of a small hill where views of the valley are breathtaking. 

The McGrail Vineyards and Winery, founded by Jim and Ginger McGrail, was planted in 1999 with the intent of producing the finest Cabernet grapes in the Livermore Valley as well as rival Cabernet grapes from the Napa Valley. 

The McGrail Vineyards and Winery is a 16 acre hillside Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in the Livermore Valley.  This rolling vineyard is at approximately 1,000 feet above sea level.  The vineyard was planted in 1999 on 5BB rootstalk with Clone 8 and 15 Cabernet Sauvignon.  The vines are spaced at 5’ x 7’ and planted in a VSP, vertical shooting positioning.

Call for an appointment and be treated to a personalized wine tasting experience. Ask for a taste right from the barrel.

Great wine and fun times
Stick Willett, Livermore
I have attended several of the McGrail Family's events for the past 1 1/2 years and I have brought several friends too with me to share in the festivities and we always leave having a great time at their winery. The Wnery sits on one of the rolling hills of the Livermore Wine Country and its view day or night cannot be beaten in the Valley. Plenty of great wines to taste, perfect food items that;s goes well with the wine and there is always live easy listening music that can't be beat in the Livermore Valley. You'll always get a chance to meet all of the McGrail Family when you visit their events and their hospitality and warmth makes it even more special when you come and enjoy their event!

Great wines and beautiful winery
LoupyLouie, Livermore
Wonderful estate grown 100% cabs. This winery is truly a must when visiting Livermore valley. Their cabernet is special, big to start with a long vanilla oak finish. They also make a very good Chardonnay. The winery itself is beautiful. Perched on a hill overlooking the Livermore Valley, it is large and modern with lots of room. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. You will feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. McGrail is a shining example of the potential of Livermore wines.
