Discover the Magic of Lodi's Vines

Since the middle of the 1800s, Lodi has been producing wine on more than 110,000 acres, making it California’s largest appellation. Lodi is well-known for its robust Zinfandels, but it is also the birthplace of all of California’s top grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. Due to the seven (7) various soil types in the area, Lodi now produces over 100 different varietals of wine and has one of the most varied wine grape producing locations in the United States.
Lodi Wine Events
Most weekends, Lodi vineyards host special events where guests can sample their award-winning wines. There are lots of enjoyable and interesting things to do in Lodi Wine Country, regardless of your level of wine expertise or familiarity with the grape.
So why are you still waiting? Our 85+ wineries are ready and waiting! Discover how to schedule a visit to one of these wineries.

This modest white winery’s motto is “acquiesce,” and they strive to surrender to nature, yield to the vineyard, and acquiesce to the grapes. They think they can make the highest-quality wines in this way. Only top-quality, fresh, light, and dazzling white and rosé wines are available at Acquiesce. The grapes for Acquiesce are hand-picked, whole-cluster pressed, and the vines are only sparingly irrigated. The wines aren’t given any aging. They take this action because they believe it is crucial for you to be able to taste the fruit’s quality.

Janis Barsetti Gray and Richard Gray are the proprietors of Barsetti Vineyards. Gottardo Barsetti, Janis’ grandfather, emigrated to America in 1903 from the southern region of Switzerland and settled in Galt in 1912. Janis’ father and grandmother purchased the land where the vineyard is now in 1941.
Before the vineyard was planted in 1995, the property was used for farming and operations involving dairy, beef cattle, and crops. Wine label Barsetti Vineyards was established in 2001.
Before pursuing their passions, Janis and Richard both retired from Fortune 500 corporate jobs.

The meaning of the Berghold family name, “vineyard worker,” has been traced back to Austria in the 1600s. The current Berghold family’s ardent pursuit to create only the best estate wines and wine grapes may be explained by this genealogical fact.
Since 1986, the Berghold Family has been cultivating wine grapes in Lodi. The estate now consists of three adjacent vineyards that together cover 85 acres and grow Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel. The family has been providing premium wineries, including some in the counties of Napa and Sonoma, with wine grapes.
The Bergholds decided it was time to bottle and market wine under the Berghold label after nearly ten years of producing and selling their grapes to other wineries. Berghold Vineyards’ Syrah was created in 1999, while its Viognier was created in 2000. Today, the winery focuses on producing Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier. It also makes Merlot, Zinfandel, and a Cabernet-Syrah hybrid. All wines are estate vintages, terroir-driven, and crafted utilizing artisanal processes and cutting-edge technology under the supervision of the Bergholds’ son and winemaker, Miles.

Joe and Kay Berghold, owners of a Victorian winery, have a passion for collecting. The couple spent nearly 20 years collecting and storing American Victorian era (1860–19000) antiques with the intention of creating an architecturally distinctive winery and tasting room representative of the era of the pieces in their collection—and the same era of the beginning of Lodi wine history. Fortunately, Berghold Vineyards and Winery has made that ambition a reality.

Due of Markus’s familial ancestry, Liz and Markus Bokisch love Spain. As the proportion of wine to water matched his age, Markus spent many a summer as a child watching his water glass turn from a light shade of pink to eventually a dark red. Markus got his start in the wine business at Joseph Phelps Vineyards as their viticulturist from 1989 to 1992 after receiving his degree from UC Davis. Shortly after getting married, the newlyweds were lured to move to Catalonia by the allure of Spain, where they found inspiration for cultivating and making Spanish varietal wines in California.
In 1995, not long after they had returned to the Napa Valley, they bought their first plot of vineyard land in Lodi’s Clements Hills. Lodi: why? While working at Joseph Phelps, Markus had gotten to know Lodi while investigating old vine Rhone varieties like Carignane, Mourvedre, and Grenache.
They relocated to Lodi in 1998, and in 1999 they planted their first block of Albarino, Tempranillo, and Graciano Spanish Varietals. They kept experimenting with new Iberian grape varieties, and now they also have Garnacha Blanca, Garnacha Tinta, and Monastrell in their wine lineup. Their winery produces 2,000 cases in total. They have established a novel wine club called “Salut!” that specializes on eating Spanish cuisine matched with Spanish wines. In addition to managing 1,000 acres of wine grapes that are 100% Certified Green under the Lodi Rules Program for Sustainable Winegrowing, Markus and Liz are committed to sustainable farming.

Since their Great Great Grandfather Andrew Harshner and his wife Lucille homesteaded 160 acres close to the town of Lodi in the 1860s, the Phillips family has been engaged in farming. A natural affinity for grape growing developed swiftly in the area, and by the turn of the past century, 25% of California’s grape land was in Lodi. Many of the state’s pioneering wineries closed down a generation later.
The Phillips’ farms, which were initially focused on vegetables, eventually expanded to include a variety of fruits, as well as fifteen different wine varietals that were delivered throughout the nation during Prohibition with instructions on “how not to have the grapes turn into wine.” As a result, Lodi growers benefited from Prohibition since families all over the country continued to drink wine with meals by ordering these grapes and “juice” to be bottled at home.
The fifth generation of growers in Lodi now is Michael and David Phillips, and things are shifting. There is plenty of room for exploration and invention with 650 acres of excellent wine vines. The Mokelumne River, which transports crystal-clear water from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and deposits minerals into the rich soils upon which the grapes flourish, irrigates the vineyards. Michael David Winery attempts to use only natural methods, including integrated pest management, beneficial insects for pest control, trellising, leaf-pulling, and naturally occurring mined sulfur for mildew treatment, even if it is not certified organic.

Winemaker Eric Donaldson moved to Lodi, California after traveling the country to learn and perfect his craft. LVVR started out as a modest dazzling project for the Vizcarra sisters and has subsequently expanded into a much bigger project.
At Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Eric received his degree. He started his career in the Ohio wine sector after graduating, spending the first few years in a few wineries near Cincinnati. Eric’s early years were crucial to his ability to fully comprehend the winery laboratory and cellar. After leaving the Cincinnati region, he continued working in a winery close to Cleveland.
Ultimately, Eric came to the conclusion that it would be wise to extend his perspective and discover what other viticultural regions had to offer. This was another another learning opportunity all by itself. He broadened his expertise by learning a range of methods and styles. Eric’s next stop after Sonoma County was New Mexico. Working with desert grapes gave him insight into where he will end up next. In New Mexico, Eric handled a lot of sparkling wine. The experience gave me a lot of knowledge about hotter climates and how they affect sparkling wines.
Here in Lodi, California, Eric will make his last trip. He chose Lodi because of its milder weather and affordable startup costs. Prior to founding EMD Winemaking, Eric worked at a sizable winery, where he once more learned a plethora of information about new tools and techniques.
The UC Davis Extension Viticulture and Enology Program is another program that Eric has finished.

Family, laughter, and love. They add these three components in equal amounts to each bottle of Harney Lane wine. They painstakingly create small batches of handcrafted wines that showcase the best flavors that Lodi Wine Country has to offer by blending them with delectable estate-grown fruit.
Long before it was customary to go wine tasting, their ancestors established their first vineyard along remote Harney Lane, just east of Lodi, in 1907. The family home was eventually constructed, and it would serve as a living memorial to the lives of five generations of grape growers dedicated to honing their farming techniques.
Their family’s guiding principle is still shouted from the rooftop of that first homestead: “Whatever you decide to accomplish in life, do it to the best of your ability.” That is how they have conducted farming for many years, and it is also how they produce their wines today.

Farmers for several generations. Our top objective has always been to use wine to introduce you to the region.
The area we still farm today is where Brad and Randall Lange, twins and fourth-generation Lodi winegrape growers, grew up and reared their families. Our foundation and the principles we follow every day are shaped by their reverence for the land and enthusiasm for keeping it preserved for future generations. The fifth generation joined the business in 2005 and established a lifelong commitment to the family business, taking on roles in both the viticulture and winery departments. We constructed the winery at this time as part of a generational decision to maintain the viability of our farm, surrounding communities, and the agricultural way of life.
We are fourth generation farmers and understand that excellent wine begins in the vineyard. Our viticulture choices within the Lodi and Clarksburg Appellations are guided by this philosophy, our emphasis on sustainability, and our experience with our vineyards. Since every vintage is different, we are aware that giving each block individual attention results in the best wine grapes being produced each year. Each bottle of wine reflects our love for the farm and family because every member of our family is committed to running our winery and vineyards.
We’re excited to share our wines with you. Stop by and sample some classic grapes like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, or try Montepulciano or Teroldego if you’re feeling daring.
Make a reservation for your upcoming wine tasting.

With only 27 in his pocket, Joseph Spenker landed in Stockton in 1868. Ten years later, including the ranch now known as Jessie’s Grove, he had over 1500 acres of some of the nicest land in the Central Valley. He met Anna Schlieman, a stunning girl, at a Stockton wedding in 1870 and got married to her the following day. Otto and Jessie, their two children, were raised in the house that Joseph built for his family in 1906. In 1888, Joseph established his first vineyard, and throughout the years, he added more acres. Some of our most cherished wines are produced by many of these vines, which are still in use today.
Jessie vetoed any and all plans to alter the Oak Grove in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The magnificent Christian Lady passed away in 1952 after living through two world wars, witnessing women obtain the right to vote, lending a helpful hand, and running three sizable ranches. Jessie had reached the age of 77. Jessie modeled her life after her father’s honorable example. Jessie was a genuine San Joaquin Valley pioneer woman.
The 1870s structure that houses the wine tasting facility on Turner Road had its outside painstakingly conserved while inside structural improvements were done as needed. Other noteworthy structures include a 1905 two-story house and an 1870 barn in the oak grove where our museum is located. The authentic historic setting has been preserved by not adding any new structures.
They recently refurbished and established a second tasting area at Olde Ice House Cellars in Downtown Lodi in addition to the winery on Turner Rd.

The Ripken family views themselves as an independent, artisan “barnista” winery that is electrifying, varied, unusual, esoteric, even outlandish, but never monotonous or strange.
With a focus on unusual grape varietals that result in remarkable flavored wines, Ripken Vineyards & Winery appeals to wine enthusiasts who like an adventurous lifestyle.
They have the motto “No Boring Wines!” They produce wines with conviction.
They choose a less beaten path. Wine drinkers who want to experience the pleasures of Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Carmine, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschet, Tempranillo, Graciano, Souzao, Touriga National, Grenace, Mourvedre, Montepulciano, Barbera, Dolcetto, or Corvina as blends or varietal wines will find their wines appealing.
They use traditional methods including soft crushing, barrel fermenting white wines, choosing yeasts, hand punchdown, less stirring, lengthy barrel age, gentle crushing, and bottle aging to produce very small batches of various wines, typically under 100 cases.
“These wines were made one bucket, one barrel, and one bottle at a time,” is their rallying cry.
Maximizing tastes, decreased but adequate irrigation or non-irrigation, sunlight to the cluster, complete ripeness for flavor, moderate size crops, adequate soil fertility, and organic matter in soils are all important factors in their grape cultivation. All of this attention to detail results in full-flavored, well-mineralized wines that are balanced and delightful when they are finished.
They are the 60th winery in Lodi. Despite being third generation wine grape growers since 1950, they only harvested their first vintage in 2003. They also grow their own rootstock and have spent forty years collecting various wine varietal clones and selections. The entire family participates.

We’ve always wanted to live out in the country. So when the chance to buy a vintage farmhouse with 18 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Lodi Appellation came up in 2001, we leaped at it. We added Pinot Grigio as a new variety in 2004. That marked MY Green Vineyards, LLC’s inception.
For many years, we produced wine to drink at home with loved ones and friends. We have always believed that the setting would become a fantastic winery and tasting facility ever since we originally bought the land. So, in 2009, we submitted an application for a winery license and started making our first vintage. We achieved this through a proprietorship swap with Estate Crush in Lodi. This squad is still utilized by us for our wine producing processes
