Description: At The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, wine country cooking means simple food with complex flavors, using the very best sustainable and organically grown local ingredients. While the menu has its foundation in classic American dishes, it is influenced by French and Italian provincial cuisine. The menu changes daily and The Restaurant’s frequently updated wine list includes the full portfolio of Wente Family Estates as well as more than 500 other carefully selected West Coast wines. All recipes reflect the season's freshest ingredients which are primarily estate-grown or hand-selected by Chef Matt Greco from local farms and ranches. A full-time master gardener tends the organic vegetable and herb gardens on the Wente Estate. We invite you to experience the Wente Family’s signature style of hospitality and enjoy carefully prepared cuisine served in a lively dining room set among the gardens and the gorgeous backdrop of Livermore Valley vineyards.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner on the patio at Wente, as we have for the past several years. As in the past, the dinner and ambiance were fabulous. Our food was delicious and creatively prepared. I don't understand the previous reviewer's problems with the food, since we have never had any issues like hers. I had... More

The atmosphere at Wente and the wait service is exceptional, this however is the best we can state about our dining experience for brunch. The hostess upon both occasions we visited was rude even though we had a reservation. Sent us to the bar area and after 35 minutes we had to inquire as to our table status. The food... More

We were there for a wedding, had the whole place rented, and it was perfect. I loved the wine-tasting room and bought several bottles.

Very stylish restaurant with good french cuisine. Got a perfect sliced steak and a rhubarber tort. Look forward for the next round of golf so I could eat here again. A little bit pricey but it was worth it

At the beginning of our meal we sat outside and enjoyed views of the property and rolling green hills. After it became chilly our server graciously helped us move indoors for the duration of the meal. The chef was completely willing to modify dishes to accommodate my gluten intolerance. The food was delicious, the wine from their vineyards very tasty,... More

Took my wife to Wente Restaurant for Easter brunch. The price fixe menu had already been explained to me, so there is no point in saying it was expensive, IT WAS. Knowing that going in and accepting the reservation, made the price a moot point. We were seated on time, and our meal choices from appetizer to entree to desert... More

We had dinner at this fab location. The food and scenery was excellent. The service as well. Great place to get a bit of a glamourous evening with someone special. Go wine tasting first in a limo then finish it off with Wente.

We like the Restaurant at Wente for business lunches due to their creative menu and beautiful grounds. Today we started with the various salami appetizer which sampled 3 different meat preparations - all three were excellent from both a taste and texture standpoint. We would order it again. Second course was the veg. soup. The soup what not what I... More

The restaurant dining room is attractive,spacious, refined and has a large patio for outside seating. The menu offers a nice selection of items, the food is delicious and the service is professional. The day we lunched there, they had a special of 50% off on many bottles of wine, that could be served with the meal. The food presentation is... More

I hadn't been to Wente for almost 30 years so it was with great pleasure that we sat on the deck on a brilliant day and had the most leisurely, delightful brunch. We both had exotic cocktails and just relished everything. I suppose one could find fault in the food, but any lack is compensated for by the whole experience.... More
