Our Story
cache/wst.opf.1364117.xml
Our family venture began when Lisa and Lothar Maier purchased a 20 acre
vineyard located on Kalthoff Commons in the southwest corner of the
Livermore Valley in January 2006. We decided that the existing
vineyard was not up to our standards. That year, we pulled the existing vines and tilled the soil so as to break
the hardpan barrier that resides below the surface of this region. We then planted small parcels in different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Malbec, Petite Verdot, Tempranillo, Barbera, Petite
Sirah and Chardonnay. Our labor of love began in earnest.
With our passion and efforts devoted to the vines, we believed that the name of our winery and vineyard needed to be true to the rich heritage of the Livermore Valley. Thus, we began to search through local history books and maps to find the perfect inspirational name for our endeavor. In our research, we learned that Robert Livermore named his original 40,000 acre property Rancho Las Positas because of the many streams and watering holes that coursed through the land.
Today, Las Positas Vineyards is a family winery that produces small lots of estate grown wines with unique character and exceptional quality. Visit us and enjoy our wines while enjoying spectacular vineyard vista views.
Our Mission, Our Passion
Las Positas Vineyards is a vineyard and winery dedicated to the marriage of Old World craftsmanship and New World pioneer spirit in the production of world class wine from our estate in California’s Livermore Valley. We offer small lots of handcrafted wines that epitomize our commitment to the earth and her fruit. We promise our consumers and business partners to be true to the ideals of “good wine starts with good vines and soil.”
Lisa Maier ~ Proprietor
Lisa has spent her “career” in the fields of finance and accounting. Although Lisa has been successful and happy in these endeavors, she is ecstatic about her new venture in the realm of wine. Her enthusiasm is shown by her tireless quest to learn as much as possible about her new environment. In this effort, Lisa has taken college courses in vineyard management, winery management and winemaking! Lisa and her family have enjoyed the challenge and anticipate that the future is bright for this new life (career).
Lisa is committed to the production of world class wines from the estate vineyards on Kalthoff Commons and Wetmore Road. If the first few years of this commitment are any indication, LPV is bound to be a destination for fine wine lovers in California and beyond.
