We have visited Napa many times over the last 30 years. Lodi wine has made me excited to taste wine again.
Nice tasting room and the man serving us that day was very nice and helpful. They carry many different wines for sale. Make it a stop.
Wine tasters will get lots of info and some wine sips here. A good idea for Lodi and community.Easy parking, well lit, tastefully done and very clean. Get your answers here and maps to the stars. There is no fee to look inside. Some wineries give free samples and it's always best to go there first. Fees for wine tasting is excessive. One of our favorite wineries is Century Oak on Lower Sac Rd.Enjoy and drink responsibly.
Great map, friendly people, ok wines, very affordable. Lodi is wine tasting for people who are new at this or who want to go wine tasting without worrying about too being too pretentious. Very laidback and enjoyable.
You cannot go wrong in choosing to eat breakfast or lunch here. The prices are reasonable, the food is oh-so delicious and the staff are very friendly, anticipating your needs. Great experience each and every time!
Conveniente as it is part of hotel and spa and representative of Lodi as a great large and botique wine area in California.
Shortly after arriving in Lodi to spend 3 days tasting local wines we made our way to the Lodi Wine & Visitor Center, apparently only about 35 minutes before its closing time at 5 PM. Ed, the gentleman running it offered us a tasting and then gave us a very nice "winery map" plus indicated which were open which days and several special features of their wineries and tasting rooms. He also shared a bit of the local history. A nice and helpful stop.
Wines of Lodi certainly represents the value and variety of quality in this area ofCalifornia considering the huge wine market in this state----really the basin andfoundation for the American wine industry.Back to the land of Lodi!Our tastings:Verdelho--white----portugal and Madeira grape origins--very herbaceous, nutty, andhigh in alcohol acidity. Bokisch Vinyards!Heritage Oak Winery--Rose---very berry, light floral flavours--a still rose, not sweet.Cinsault--red--low in tannins, often the foundation for great rose's, similar to a southafrican hermitage--nice nose of strawberry. Bechthold Vinyard!Cabernet sauvignon --nice tannins, black current, chocolate, green peppers, TortoiseCreek wines!Zinfandel Footstomp--black pepper, blackberry jam, medium to full bodied wine. BergholdVineyards.All were very enjoyable tastings and requires a repeat.Yes--you can join their Wine Club!Thank you Anne-Marie!
Great place to sample the local wines before you hit the actual wineries. Develop your itinerary here while you review the local wine guide.
Stopped here with a friend while visiting Lodi on her suggestion that there was an educational area telling about local wine production. That was no longer available. The gentleman at the wine tasting area was helpful in sharing local information with us. When my friend purchased a wine-related tool, he demonstrated for her how to use it when opening her bottles of wine. Nice stop, not too robust with production information which is what I was looking for when stopping.
