Lodi Wine Country produces a surprisingly diverse range of bubbles — from traditional method Champagne-style wines to light rosés and sweet estate bottles. Here's where to find the best sparkling wines in Lodi.
Whether you're looking for a crisp dry sparkling, a fruit-forward rosé, or something on the sweeter side, we've curated a list of Lodi wineries that offer a refreshing selection of sparkling wines for every palate.
At Peltier Winery, you can choose from several delicious options for bubbly, including the Zante, which is perfect to enjoy on a warm summer day. This carbonated White Zinfandel wine has the perfect amount of acidity and full bodied fruit to tame the heat. Also available at Peltier Winery is The Gala Brut, a classic dry sparkling wine made using the French Méthode Champenoise.
Bonus tip: Peltier Winery has offered a sparkling wine tasting flight on the first weekend of the month — check their website for current availability and pricing before your visit.
At Nostra Vita Winery, you can choose from the Serendipity sparkling wine collection made using the traditional French Méthode Champenoise as well as the Charmat method. Their namesake line boasts various styles of sparkling wine that ranges from extra dry to sweet, which offers something delicious for everyone!
Our Recommendation: You won’t go wrong with the Blanc de Blanc to brighten up any celebration this summer, which is a dry sparkling wine made of Chardonnay leaving a bright and creamy texture.
LVVR is Lodi’s premier sparkling-only winery, offering a selection of premium sparkling wines made using the traditional method. The natural fermentation process ensures that each bottle provides a light but refreshing sip with airy bubbles.
Our Recommendation: Pick up a bottle of the Albariño Reserve for refreshing floral notes with a dry finish.
Take in gorgeous views of the Durst estate as you sip on delicious bubbly, using the traditional French sparkling wine method (do you see a theme here?). A crisp bottle of bubbly to accompany a gorgeous day in Lodi Wine Country is what you need!
Our Recommendation: Sparkling Demi-Sec for semi-sweet bubbly with a crisp, fruity finish.
A stunning summer day overlooking the Terra Alta Vineyard deserves a chilled glass of Sparkling Rosado from Bokisch Vineyards. Be sure to come for the sparkling but don’t miss out on discovering their list of Spanish varietals.
Why we love it: The Sparkling Rosado offers the right amount of crisp bubbles with juicy notes of pomegranate and peach to cool off during summer.
Celebrate summer with Rhône-style sparkling wines from Acquiesce Winery, where you can choose from a variety of beautifully crafted bottles for your taste.
Our recommendation: Try the Sparkling Clairette Blanche for an indulgent experience, with notes of green apple, pear, and guava.

Our recommendation: California Sparkling Brut Rosé using the French traditional method of sparkling wine, with a fruit-forward nose of red currant, strawberry, and cranberry.
For our sparkling wine lovers who enjoy sweeter wines, Viaggio has you covered! Chill a bottle of their estate Strawberry or Peach Mango bubbly and enjoy the beauty of Lodi Wine Country while overlooking the Mokelumne river on the wineries expansive estate.
Indulge in m2’s Sparkling Rosé that staff mentions has notes of “aromas of white peach and summer fruit, and subtle notes of red berries and spice as it dances on the palate.” Now this sounds like poetry to whisk you away on a warm summer night, so be sure to chill a bottle to enjoy with friends, family, or yourself and pair with your favorite light cheeses and sweets.
