Lodi Wine Country
Welcome to Lodi, California—where harvest brings the vineyards to life and every glass tells a story.
As autumn paints the vines in shades of gold and crimson, Lodi invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and soak in the beauty of the season.
Home to over 85 wineries and more than 135 varietals—from bold Zinfandels to lush Rhône and Iberian-style wines—Lodi offers wine tasting that’s as relaxed as it is remarkable. Many tasting rooms welcome walk-ins, and it’s not unusual to find yourself chatting with the winemaker. Here, it’s wine country without the crowds—authentic, approachable, and full of heart.
Beyond the vineyards, explore Lodi’s historic downtown, where boutique shops, cozy tasting bars, and farm-to-table dining celebrate local flavor. As the weather cools, Lodi Lake becomes the perfect spot for a peaceful paddle, scenic stroll, or picnic under turning leaves.
This fall, come sip, savor, and discover why Lodi shines brightest when the vines turn golden.
