American Fare 2026 at Appellation Lodi

American Fare – Made in Lodi

American Fare – Made in Lodi is an immersive, walk-around culinary celebration honoring the people, flavors, and craftsmanship that define the Lodi region. Set among the lush gardens and grounds of Appellation Lodi – Wine & Roses Resort and Spa, this exploratory experience invites guests to sip, taste, smell, and discover everything that makes Lodi special—where nearly everything you encounter is grown, made, or crafted locally.

At the heart of the event are ten market-style tasting booths, each pairing one chef, one grower, and one winemaker to present a seasonal snapshot of Lodi’s vibrant food and wine culture. As you wander at your own pace, enjoy thoughtfully curated experiences including:
A local artisan market
A build-your-own bloom bar

A garden bar serving cocktails inspired by locally sourced ingredients
