We spent the day wine tasting in Lodi while on vacation. It rained the entire time we were here, but it didn't stop us from enjoying our time here or the wine. :) First impressions were good. They offered a beautiful outdoor patio seating and indoor wasn't bad either. We grabbed a seat at the bar while we waited for our reservation at Oak Farm down the street. We were greeted by Hal and the owner of this newer family run winery. They were both super friendly and welcoming. Block 21 wasn't here the last time I was in Lodi for wine and we were so happy that we started here. I look forward to coming back in the future. Everyone was so hospitable and their wines left a lastly impression. For a four year old winery, I should have bought more bottles. We had two of their "Limited Production flights,". They waived their $15 tasting fee, with purchase of a bottle. We loved their cabernet franc and viognier. I enjoyed all of their wines of their limited production list even their Rosé and personally I'm not typically a Rosé drinker, but enjoyed this one. I loved hearing the story of how they make tempranillo here. I love this Spanish wine and anyone who claims to make a good one, I'll try it. Hal was our favorite. We could have hung out with him all day. Thank you for your hospitality! If I had any regrets about this Lodi trip it was not spending more time at Block 21, our driver arrived earlier than expected. If you're visiting Lodi and like good wine and great service, come check out this beautiful vineyard. I'll be back next year and we hope to see you all again. read more

This is an awesome winery. We've been members since they opened. The winery is family owned and operated. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The wines are great. They have variety of reds and whites to choose from some delicious blends. The area is quiet and peaceful. Sitting out side is relaxing and the inside is cute as heck with a nice bar area, a quiet sitting area next to the fireplace and some tables surrounding the bar. read more

We dropped in Sunday for our 1pm reservation. $10 and $15 tasting fee. 1 bottle purchase to waive a tasting fee. Wines were fruity and bold just how we like our wines. Veronica poured at a good pace and asked if we wanted to revisit. Pours were kind of small due to the wine stoppers. Outside food and dog are allowed. They have both outdoor and indoor tasting. They sell snacks like popcorn and charcuterie plate. They also allow dogs. Sauv blanc- bold , fruity, like Marlborough sauv blanc. Viognier- a bit sweet. Symphony is semi sweet. Syrah and Zinfandel- fruity, bold, some tannins. Tempranillo - tannic Cab- fruity, earthy balance, smooth . Cab franc- earthy. read more

What a fun find . Happened to be in the area ---heading to a gathering ----and had a bit of time to kill! What better way than to sip on a delicious wine, surrounded by water and flowers , and bask in the sun on a breezy mild day! Service was great, and loved the causal vibe of the place. Wine is reasonable ----$10 a glass . I'll be back again and take time with full tasting. read more

This place is awesome! The tasting room is so inviting and the outdoor patio with the pond is beautiful and relaxing. The wine....in a word....EXCELLENT! I should have taken pics and will next time we visit but just a great spot and customer service is top notch. read more

First time here! And we were introduced to this winery by some new friends. Very pleased with the hospitality that was provided during this first visit. But we got the feeling that the hospitality was not only just a one time thing that it's all the time just based off the recommendation as well as, the amount of clientele that would walk through the door. One thing that really stood out to me was that even though people were walking in closer to closing time, they were not presented with a remark or lecture about them closing. They invited everyone that arrived and let them enjoy their time. They have a great selection of red and white and nice charcuterie trays. Beautiful family owned location. At least once a month there is a live band that performs here or should I say at least live music performance, reasonable pricing and tasting fees. We will be visiting here very soon. read more

Wonderful place for wine tasting on N Davis Road in Lodi AVA. Lots of local wines to taste. Friendly helpful staff and great food/snack plates to go with. Newish setting with pond and outdoor and indoor seating. All of the wines I had were 4+ out of 5 which is unusual. read more

Great wine, great atmosphere, great people. Tired of visiting wineries and feeling like you were privileged to be in their presence? Like you needed to know the secret language of wine snobs to fit in? If so, Block 21 is a refreshing 180 from those experiences. Here, you often get to sample wine with the winemaker who is as down to earth as you'll find. The employees get to know the patrons and the whole place has a friendly atmosphere. Did I mention that the wine is amazing? Trust me and add Block 21 to your next trip to Lodi. read more

Last weekend our group of 6 was there for the first time celebrating Birthdays and Fathers Day. They had so much fun. Loved the wines, the hospitality, and the two Sharons. Thank you so much. read more

Lovely winery. We stopped by after a day long trip. Although the tasting room was busy, we were guided to their beautiful outdoor seating area, where a small team was setting the stage for an evening wedding. We had plenty of time for a few flights of wines. The last pour was at 4:45 pm read more

Very friendly staff and a lovely winery. The wines were nice. The Syrah was my favorite. I would recommend visiting.

Was very disappointed in our experience with Block 21. I planned a whole wine tasting experience in Lodi for my Dad's 70th birthday. We got a party bus and planned to go to three different wineries. Block 21 was supposed to be our last stop. I called and confirmed our time for 3:50 p.m. and party size of around 28 over two weeks before and was told they could definitely accommodate. They gave me a call the day before to give me a heads up about the weather since it would probably be raining. They let me know that it could get crowded if the outdoor was closed and that I should give them a call a little bit before we come to make sure there was enough space. I was a little confused since I thought our party/space was reserved but there wasn't much I could do besides hope for the best since it was the day before. We ended up running a little late and I gave them a call at 3:46 and said we were running a little late and should be heading over soon. I asked if that was ok or a problem and I was assured that it was no problem at all and just that their last pour was at 4:45. I said that's perfect and we'll see them soon. I'm not sure of the exact time we showed up but I think it was around 4:15 p.m. immediately we were met with a woman telling someone in our party that we could only get one pour or had to sit outside (I wasn't inside yet so I'm not exactly sure what was said). I immediately go inside and talk to a woman who tells us because of our party size, that we would be their last pour and that after that we would have to buy bottles. I was confused because I was clearly told on the phone that last pour was at 4:45 p.m. and she never mentioned that we would only get one pour and she knew my reservation size. The woman then tells us if we buy bottles we are welcome to stay until 5:30 p.m. so we would have time to finish. I told her that was fine and we bought 6 bottles. The whole time we were there we did not feel welcome. They pretty much ignored us and just looked at us like they wanted us to leave. I'm not sure if it's because we showed up late or our group size but they were fully aware of both of these details before we came in (and it actually ended up being only 23 people). We all really enjoyed our second stop (shout out to Peltier and their lovely customer service!!! Please check them out!) and would have much rather stayed there then to have been mislead! As we're enjoying our 6 bottles the woman comes up to us around 5:05 p.m. and tells us that they are closing up and we need to leave. I asked "I thought we were able to stay until 5:30?" And she just dryly responds, "Well they want to close." We hadn't even finished our bottles, but we got up and left. It really just felt like they got their sale and were done with us. Some people went to the bathroom and after on the way past just saw the staff sitting and drinking inside. Confirming our feelings that they just wanted the sale and didn't care after that. The whole experience felt extremely unwelcoming and misleading. I wish they would've just told me the truth on the phone because we would've just stayed at Peltier or even from the beginning gone with another winery that could properly accommodate our size but instead they so sounded friendly, inviting, and accommodating on the phone and completely switched up when we arrived. Unfortunately, it was our last stop and just left a sour taste to my dad's celebration. read more

We went here for our first tasting with a group of 5. We were immediately met with the staff who were friendly and inviting. They immediately offered to sit us outside or taste inside. We chose the beautiful back patio where the view of the vineyard was gorgeous. All of the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive,and caring. For a relaxing wine tasting and a beautiful venue, we highly recommend Block 21 read more

Everything is great there. Great wine and the help is over the top. Excellent especially the lady named Sharon.

Our first time here and we had no reservations. The winemaker and his wife were pouring and were super accommodating even though they were busy! we enjoyed their wines and the descriptions on each one of them. A great variety and the taste was typical of Lodi. We walked out with our purchase knowing we will be back for sure. read more

This hidden gem!! We driven by glad we did! Great wines all of them! Not a white drinker but love them all!!! Please put this on your stop by list! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

We went to this sweet winery to celebrate my sister's birthday. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The wine was excellent, two of my sisters joined the wine club. We sat outside to do the tasting, it was very hot that day, but they had some seating with umbrellas. The servers were very nice and knowledgeable about their wines. I would recommend this winery for sure. We enjoyed every minute of it, and definitely will go back. read more

We just wanted to thank Sharon for being such an attentive and friendly host during our first visit to this winery. It was a pleasure having you pour, and educate us with regards to your family winery and the individual wines we tasted. We look forward to a second visit sometime in the not to distant future. Keep smiling. Andy and Colleen read more

Hubby and I decided to just drive and stop at wineries that caught our eyes. So glad we found this gem. They've only been open for 3 months. Everyone was very nice. The wine was excellent. The tasting room was absolutely beautiful. I loved that they support small businesses and allow them to sell their merchandise. Local art, wine tumblers, and lots of other stuff. There is plenty of outdoor seating with corn hole, and fire pit. Symphony was my fav!! The owner did tell us they will have some more Reds this harvest. We can't wait to go back and try them. read more

Came here for the first time on Saturday. We've been to almost all the wineries in the Lodi area. Customer service is a huge thing for me when writing a review. They weren't rude but they also did not make us feel welcome. We won't be coming back. The wines are not what we expected. read more

Beautiful and new wine tasting room and outdoor area. Staff was friendly and courteous, very attentive! Wines weren't my taste, on the sweeter side (just like the staff). Lovely stop to snack and picnic, we came from Lucas as they recommended it. read more

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Block 21. We brought catered food and enjoyed wine on the patio. It was beautiful, relaxing and so easy!

Family owned, and the sweetest people, made me feel so welcomed. I highly recommend checking out this gem, will definitely be back. read more
