I’ve been to Palooza all three years, and I can’t wait to be there again this year.

The setting is beautiful, the energy is always so fun, and the whole event does such a great job celebrating Cabernet Franc and how Livermore Valley is one of the best regions for Cab Franc!

And yes, it’s also the biggest Cab Franc festival in the world.

Expect 50+ wineries100+ wines, hundreds of wine lovers, live music, food trucks, and a full afternoon of tasting at one of the prettiest spots in the Bay Area.

Pop-Up Tiki Bar in Downtown Livermore?

This is such a fun little surprise from Rosetta Roasting in Livermore.

They’re launching their summer Tikeasy, a hidden tropical-inspired evening experience tucked inside the café.

Think lower lights, brighter drinks, a new menu, and a completely different feel from the Rosetta you know during the day.

To celebrate the launch, they’re opening for a special evening service this Sunday May 24th.

No tickets, no reservations, just show up, grab something tropical, and check out what they’ve been working on.

Doors open at 5pm.
