The Place
Set in the heart of the Livermore Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA), as well as the greater San Francisco Bay AVA, the winery is 35 miles east of San Francisco. Surrounded by vineyards and situated alongside the Arroyo Mocho Creek, Murrieta's Well's serene, idyllic location emanates a feeling of timeless romanticism and exclusivity.

The Winery
Originally built in the 1880s by Livermore Valley pioneer Louis Mel, the old stone winery building is a gorgeous example of early California architecture. Local timber and rustic concrete made from gravel gathered from the nearby Arroyo Mocho Creek were used in the construction.

One of the first examples of California gravity flow design, the winery has aged gracefully, its exterior concrete exposing patches of the beautiful creek stones in myriad colors. Combined with Spanish design influences, the colorful past of Joaquin Murrieta, and ultra-premium wines, Murrieta's Well is a captivating and unforgettable destination. The grounds are rich with beautiful design themes, enhanced by rustic wooden beams, artisan tile work, and open, welcoming spaces.
