Approximately 50 winemakers and wine industry professionals gathered with local clergy at Fenestra Winery on Aug. 17 for Livermore Valley’s annual Blessing of the Grapes — a centuries-old ceremony that honors the vineyards and the people who make the annual harvest a reality.

Participating were (shown above, from left) Pastor Steve Wilde of First Presbyterian Church of Livermore; Brandi Lombardi, interim director of the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association; Fenestra’s winemaker Aaron Luna; Rabbi Larry Milder of Congregation Beth Emek and Father Kwame Assenyoh of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.
