It is hard to talk about Lodi Wine Tours and Lodi Wineries without talking history. Lodi has been growing wine grapes since the mid-1800s and today is the largest appellation in California with over 110,000 acres in production. Known for hearty Zinfandels, Lodi is also home to all of California’s leading varieties, and has long been the leading producer for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Visitors will find Lodi wine tasting rooms large and small, brand new and decades old. Although variety is abundant, one constant remains: the Lodi wine experience. Visitors to Lodi wineries will often find themselves sipping Lodi wine with a fourth-or-fifth generation winemaker, who is passionate about his product.
Today, Lodi produces over 100 different varieties and offers a vast portfolio of diverse wines.
A Typical Wine Tasting Tour in The Lodi Appellation is priced at $300. This price includes 4 hours of transportation for up to 13 guests, and is ideal for people who are staying in the Lodi area.
It allows for tasting at up to 3 local wineries. Tasting fees are an additional cost, if applicable.
