THERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL IN LODI THAT WE’VE BEEN PERFECTING FOR A LONG TIME. Lodi has been growing winegrapes for over a hundred years. Today, it is the largest appellation in California with over 110,000 acres in production and over 100 different varieties. The seven (7) different soils in the region makes it one of the most diverse winegrape growing regions in the United States. In a sense, you can experience what the world offers from here. It is scenically nestled between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains with 85+ boutique wineries where 5th generation artisan winemakers are carefully crafting the next award-winning wine.

Lodi is surrounded by miles of open waterways and cycling routes. The charming streets of downtown are lined with critically acclaimed restaurants, unique retail shops, remarkable breweries, and welcoming tasting rooms.

Explore a museum or watch the seasonal migration of Sandhill Cranes in the wild. Paddle along the Mokelumne River and the beautiful Lodi Lake.

Cycle through the valley’s rich agricultural and viticultural landscapes.

Or simply take a moment to enjoy our award-winning wines.

If you love wine, outdoor adventures or discovering amazing new places with friendly people, then Lodi is the place for you. We invite you to discover for yourself a story as rich and deep as our fine wines.

The Visit Lodi! Conference and Visitors Bureau is your official source for information and help in planning your next visit. View our website at visitlodi.com or call us at 209-365-1195. Make sure to drop by our Downtown Visitor Center at 25 North School Street. It’s the perfect first stop to plan your Lodi itinerary.

WINE COUNTRY

85+ Wineries, 100 Varietals, Award-Winning Wine Region NATURE AND NURTURE COMBINE IN LODI to create one of California’s premier grape-growing and winemaking regions, with a history dating back to the 1850s. Lodi was an early wine capital of the West—some Zinfandel vines here are over 130 years old! Premium wine grapes cover approximately 100,000 acres in Lodi, more vineyard acreage than Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties combined.

This wealth of grapes and grape varieties create something for every wine lover’s palate, from everyday table wines to award-winning vintages. Lodi Appellation includes over 450 labels and over 100 varietals. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Petite Syrah, Albarino, Tempranillo and Grenache are a few of the varietals available for tasting.

The rich soil of Lodi’s vineyards is crosscut with creeks and the Mokelumne River, and brushed with nighttime moisture from the Sacramento Delta. Generations of families have grown fruit and made wine here. One family’s son, Robert Mondavi, graduated from Lodi Union High School in 1933 as Class President, and headed off to Stanford University. Degree in hand, he returned to Lodi and began a career that would

transform California’s international wine industry. Many current Lodi winemakers trace their careers and craft back to Robert Mondavi—just one thread of traditions stretching back generations of Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch and other immigrant families. One delightful aspect of Lodi wine tasting: you may be served by the winemaker, the owner, or a family member. Lodi’s wine families love to show off the fruits of their labors.

Visitors can drive, cycle or walk between tasting rooms.

Many Lodi wineries are only minutes from each other by car. These scenic country roads are relatively untraveled.

The rolling terrain, and break spots at lovely outdoor tasting rooms and winery picnic areas make them a favorite of cyclists.

If you prefer to stroll between samples and sips, Downtown Lodi has eight tasting rooms within blocks of each other.

Wineries encircle the town, some surrounded by hundreds of acres of vineyards, others along the banks of the Mokelumne River.

Lodi’s location between San Francisco Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada mountains puts it less than a two-hour drive for most Northern Californians. Lodi has an Amtrak station right downtown, with multiple trains stopping daily. Bikes are welcome on Capital Corridor trains.

Lodi events and festivals are visitor favorites! There are frequent downtown fairs, wine strolls and farmers markets during summer, plus popular annual festivals like the Sandhill Crane Festival, Wine & Chocolate Weekend, Wine & Food Festival, Row by Row (formerly ZinFest), Parade of Lights and Lodi Beer Fest.
