Lodi Wineries - Come Taste Superb Wines
Are you ready for a California Wine Tour to visit Lodi wineries and sample their wonderful wines?
Located in a rural area east of San Francisco by the Sacramento River Delta, Lodi is characterized by its warm dry summer days, cool breezy nights, and sandy soils. These conditions make this section of the California Wine regions a prime grape growing area. 18% of California's wine grapes come from this region. This is more than Napa and Sonoma combined. 
There are more than 24 wineries in the Lodi Wine Country and many wineries outside of the area purchase grapes from this region as well. You will find a diverse group of wineries in Lodi and many superb wines. Some Lodi wineries are small family wineries while others are larger.
While wine tasting in this area, you may notice the abundance of Old Vine Zinfandel. Lodi is fortunate to have many old Zinfandel vineyards, which are at least 50 years old. Old vines have fewer and smaller grapes that produce more intense flavors, color, and sugar. The wines are full bodied and more complex than younger vines. Most of these California wineries offer complimentary wine tasting. The Lodi Wine Country is right here in our own backyard, so we might be biased. However, we think you will appreciate the rural atmosphere and enjoy tasting the different types of wines. Begin planning your next California wine tour today!
