We’re Going Hoot Owl This Weekend

If you spend much time around trout streams, you may have heard of “Hoot Owl” hours — when hot weather means fishing early and giving the river a break during the hottest part of the day.

With temperatures expected to reach around 100 degrees in Livermore both Saturday and Sunday, we’re borrowing the idea for our Harvest Cellar Preview. Since our winery doesn’t have an air-conditioned tasting space, we’re shifting things earlier and wrapping up before the worst of the afternoon heat.

Open until 2pm both days

Harvest is in full swing at Caddis, and we’re opening up the winery for a casual behind-the-scenes look at one of our favorite times of year.

Join us in Livermore for our Harvest Cellar Preview, where you can taste through our current lineup of Caddis wines, see some of the equipment we use during harvest, and get a firsthand look at what’s happening in the cellar during crush.

This isn’t a formal tour or a big production — just an informal opportunity to stop by, enjoy some wine, ask questions, and see a working winery in the middle of harvest.

We’ve already brought in Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley Zinfandel, and Livermore Valley Merlot, with plenty more still to come as the 2026 vintage continues to take shape.

Everyone is welcome. Come by anytime between noon and 4:30 PM on Saturday or Sunday and celebrate harvest with us.
