Livermore is also located in California’s wine country. The city is reputedly the oldest wine country town in California. Many Italian families settled in Livermore in the early years when the area was settled. They realized quickly that the mild Mediterranean climate was ideal for growing grapes, in fact, the land was startlingly similar to the country where they grew up. These Italian immigrants helped start the area's first vineyards and make wines, leading to Livermore’s strong wine culture. There are many well-known vineyards to visit. Some of these vineyards also stage live concerts and musical performances such as Wente Vineyards Estate Winery & Event Center.

Livermore’s unique blend of arts, culture, western heritage and vibrant wine industry makes it a very special community. Recently the city has focused its efforts into making Historic Downtown Livermore a place where people can gather for shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural events. There are modern upgrades to the Downtown area such as a new 10-screen cinema and a 500-seat performing arts center. The development has also included adding residential areas, art/live workspaces, and a walkable area that is reminiscent of an active urban area.
