Best Wine Trails in Lodi Wine Country

Lodi wine route
Lodi is famous for old vine Zinfandel vineyards

Lodi is a California wine region less traveled. There are many good reasons why wine country travelers should spend time in the Lodi. Did you know that Lodi has more acres of vineyards than any other wine region in the United States? Lodi is known for its old vine Zinfandel, but lately, it is Rhone style wines and Spanish grapes that are hitting the mark among wine critics. The downtown of Lodi is quaint with many interesting stores and restaurants. Janelle and Joe have explored this region and have discovered some great wineries to visit. The wineries we have selected for our Lodi wine trail are sure to give you a sense of Lodi wine country and a taste of some very excellent wines.

COVID has changed much for wine country travelers. Be sure to check each winery’s website before you plan your trip to Lodi wine country.
