The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District Foundation is hosting its fifth annual Wine Down in the Grove fundraiser next week, raising money for recreation programs, scholarships and park projects. 

The event set for Friday (June 26) is scheduled from 5-8:30 p.m. at Ravenswood Historic Site in Livermore. It will bring together community members, local businesses and LARPD supporters for an evening of food, drinks, music and fundraising. 

Proceeds from the event will also support senior events and projects that contribute to LARPD’s mission of improving the quality of life in the Livermore area. In 2025, the foundation provided 274 program scholarships and 161 swim lesson sessions, according to a press release from LARPD.

The evening will include dinner catered by On the Vine Catering, wine and beer tastings from local producers, live music by Tim Gomes, a silent auction and a live auction led by Marc Roberts. 

Dave Muela, president of the LARPD Foundation, said the event helps expand recreation access in a variety of ways. 

“The support we receive through the Wine Down in the Grove helps expand access to recreation opportunities for individuals and families throughout our community,” Muela said. “Whether it’s helping provide scholarships, supporting programs and events, or enhancing parks and open spaces, this event allows us to make a meaningful impact across the district.”

The LARPD Foundation works to enhance community life by helping residents stay active and connected, with a focus on improving open spaces and supporting underserved community members.
