Las Positas Vineyards, founded in 2006, is a family winery that produces small parcels of vineyards with unique character and exceptional quality. 

Their family venture began when Lisa and Lothar Maier bought a 20 acre vineyard located at Kalthoff Commons in the southwest corner of the Livermore Valley in January 2006. They agreed that the current vineyard did not meet their expectations. That year the existing vines were harvested and the soil was tilled to break the hardpan barrier that lies beneath the surface of this field. They planted small parcels in various clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo, Barbera, Petite Sirah and Chardonnay. Their labor of love had started in earnest.

With their love and devotion to the vineyards, they felt that the name of their winery and vineyard needed to be true to the rich heritage of the Livermore Valley. Thus, they started to dig through local history books and maps to find the right inspiring name for their efforts. In their study, they discovered that Robert Livermore had named his original 40,000 acre property Rancho Las Positas because of the many streams and watering  holes that ran through the ground. Nowadays, Las Positas Vineyards is a family winery that produces a limited number of estate-grown wines of unique character and exceptional quality.

The winemaker Brent Amos holds a degree in oenology and viticulture from Fresno State University. Previously he worked at Ferrari-Carano, Fritz, and for 7 years he created award-winning wines at Fenestra Winery in Livermore, CA. The year 2000 was Brent's first vintage.
