Lodi Wine Country

Variety is the theme while meandering along the Lodi wine trail. You'll encounter wineries large and small, brand new and decades old. Chance are you'll step into a wine tasting room and sip wine with the winemaker, who might be a fifth generation Lodi grape grower.

The beautiful vineyard scenery in Lodi tells the tale of both young and old vines. The older vines, especially our famous Zinfandel, spread their roots deep into our sandy soils. You'll notice the individual pattern of "head-pruned" vines. Younger vines such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay are easily recognized by their long trellised rows.

Whether young or old, Lodi vines yield wines that are irresistible. These wines are full of flavor yet soft and supple on the palate. They are delicious on their own or are the perfect companion to food.
