Livermore Valley Wine Community hosted its annual Blessing of the Grapes at Las Positas Vineyards in Livermore on Aug. 16 ahead of harvest that is anticipated to begin in two to three weeks.
The “Blessing of the Grapes” has been practiced for centuries in wine producing countries around the world and by many religions.
