    This is our 2nd time here for the Lodi wine & chocolate festival and they are just as good as last year. Their service is attentive and quick to answer any questions. We were educated once again on certain wines and where they come from. I would recommend this spot to anyone who is interested in wine tasting Red & Whites. :)

    Wine...yummnn

    Staff and Robert the wine maker are fabulous. It's a hidden gem regarding the location. But the wine will knock you off you seat! Start with the wines labeled Cabana and move onto RISK. You will be amazed! Robert and staff are ready to share their knowledge and why they have dedicated themselves to wine. We became wine members on our first stop.

    Valentine's special

    After being introduced to this place during the yelp event and enjoying it so much I decided to come back with some friends who love wine. My best friends birthday was coming up and she really enjoys her wine as well as all of her friends. They frequent Napa and I wasn't sure if they were aware of this place, so I created an invitation on Facebook and invited them all here for a surprise birthday brunch. The response was really good, many of the girls were surprised this place existed and were anxious to come try it out. I had made reservations for our group and the weather had been kinda iffy the week prior but I was assured either way they would accommodate us indoors or out on patio if possible. The morning of was very nice and we ended up getting a nice table off in the back which they had all set up for us. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for your free glass of wine. The staff took care of our group very well. Drinks were refilled timely (unlimited mimosas was a popular choice) the menu was fabulous and everyone found something they were excited to try. The food was fabulous and thanks to Cabanas I hit a home run with this surprise birthday gathering. I really need to bring hubby back here for brunch and try happy hour one evening.

    Such a cool place! WINE, BEER, PIZZA & MORE My wife and I attended an event at Cabana Winery & Bistro. Since I've been looking for a wine that I would like, we took advantage of the event to taste and to find a great wine. WINES We got to sample a red and white wine. To me red wines are strong and bitter. I first tried the Cabana Red. It was pretty good, but the taste was a little to much for me. Basically to strong for me. I then tried the homemade sangria. WOW that was great. The taste was light crisp and refreshing, and very easy to drink. I also tried the Cabana White, it was one of my favorite ones to drink. It wasn't to strong and also had a crisp & refreshing taste. It went down smooth and had me coming back for more. I also tired the Cabana's Pinot Noir. I also like it, It had a smooth finish with an awesome hint of what I think was pepper. But my favorite wine ended up being a Old Vine Zin from Zagan's Fire. I thought it was very fruity a very berry flavor, with an all around smooth taste from beginning to end. FOOD The artisan cheese assortment is awesome and the pair well with the wines that Cabana Winery has to offer. Some cheese have a strong flavor and some have a very mild flavor. I prefer the mild flavored cheeses the best. But my wife likes the stronger one. Definitely try the wood fired pizza's. They are perfect, All of the ingredients are from local growers, which is awesome. My favorite pizza was the Apple Hill Pizza, made with chicken sausage, bacon, gala apples, sage, lemon, arugula, mozzarella drizzled with caramel sauce. mmm mmm good. We also had the meat balls. Holy smokes that things were pretty amazing. Just the right flavor. The meat was marinated just perfect and the sauce had an unbelievable taste. As for dessert the bread pudding was good. Nice a fluffy with homemade whipped cream on top. STAFF AND VENUE The venue is nice, and has a very homely feeling with a nice vibe. The patio is very spacious with plenty of places to sit, plus it is dog friendly. Inside the building is some what small but cozy. Plenty of seats against the wall and my favorite bar seating. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about their wines. It was great to talk to the owner Robert about baseball and Red Sox second base men Dustin Pedroia. (I went to school with him) While my wife talk to Amy the bartender about anthropology and teaching. You can tell how passionate the owners are about their AWESOME business. I can not wait to go back to Cabana Winery to try more of their wines, their great food and to also try the all Unlimited Bloody Mary and Unlimited Mamosa (Sat & Sun noon to 4pm)

    Wines worth trying

    This is a great find for anyone who likes quality wines, a relaxed atmosphere, and farm to fork eats. An outdoor patio with firepits and weekend live music rounds out the space. A brunch menu and bottomless Bloody Marys on the weekend. A fresh pizza and a bottle of wine for $30 deal. A refillable 1-liter wine bottle...the owners have thought of everything on my checklist for an amazing wine bistro. The space is much bigger than it looks from the street and is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I drove right past it the first time. Luckily, street parking is ample - and free! Not only do they bottle their own wines (try the pinot noir and the cab sauv) but the owner is also a licensed importer with an eclectic international selection. The house wines have also fared well in state wine competitions. I wouldn't have even known about it if it weren't for the Yelp event I attended, and enjoyed this place so much that I'm planning my next visit.

    Cabana Winery is a hidden gem in East Sac. I love being introduced to new venues when attending events. This was the case with Cabana Winery. Being from Elk Grove, I would never think to come to this part of town, but am so glad I did. This was my second time at Cabana Winery and each experience keeps getting better and better. The owners, Robert and Rene, were the perfect hosts. They have been making world class wine for many years and brought their craft to this little urban slice of heaven in East Sac. I love speaking with people who have a passion for what they do. You can see the spark in their eyes when they talk about their wine and food. Their pride shows in the quality of their wares. I could not get enough of the meatballs. The Boston style uses beef and Italian sausage to produce rich, hearty meatball that was hard to resist. I also loved the Merlot and took a bottle home after my first visit. Besides the meatballs, we were also nuts about the wood fired, thin crust pizza. The BF even took an entire pepperoni pie all to himself after the event. The crust was perfectly cooked with just a little char. My personal fave was the one with slices of bacon and apples. I've never had a pizza with fresh apple slices and it makes me wonder what I've been missing out on. Besides Robert and Rene, the other stars of Cabana are the staff. I have never seen a more hard working and welcoming group of folks.

    I got to experience Cabana Winery yesterday and was pleasantly surprised on how such a nice place managed to be under my radar. Tucked away in a more residential area, in Elvas Ave, is a winery and bistro lovingly owned by Robert Smerling and family. Robert has over 25 years in the wine making business and was the founder of Renwood winery in Amador County. Tonight he invited us in and we were able to sample some of his award winning wines both white and red although I only got to try the red (my choice) . I tried the Pinot Noir and the Merlot and both were excellent. I was also able to sample a very nice charcuterie plate of cheeses, meats and nuts, as well as some of his famous "Boston Meatballs" were on display. I really liked the meatballs, as they were seasoned and spiced well and had a zippy red sauce that seemed to go great with the merlot that I was having at that time. But the main thing that i came away with was the passion that Robert had for his business. He talked about how he had a corporate job in the world trade center, and transitioned that to the founder of Renwood for about 2 decades and then to Cabana where the site is the actual winery as we took a small tour of the facilities. He broke down the process and gave some characteristics of good and great wine, as well as discussed the differences in barrels from France as opposed to the ones made in the US as well as life expectancy of the barrels. So although our visit was a taster of his entire venue, we look forward to sampling some of the other experiences that we did not get to partake in such as the summer concerts, the outside fire pit and the pizza and dinner selections. FYI - They have a yelp check in offer, so be sure to use that when you arrive for a glass of wine.

    Truly a hidden a gem! Cabana Winery & Bistro is tucked away in East Sacramento. They have quite the assortment of beverages and food, not to mention my favorite beverages and food. WINE & PIZZA! They have award winning wines, I sampled many but my favorite was the Cabana Red blend they make. It was so good I went back for seconds, thirds, and I stopped counting after that. :) I also saw several people drinking their white wine and the sangria. You can purchase wine there as well, wine-ing!!! I got a bottle of their red blend in their personalized growler that you can bring back and have filled. Their food.....I'm still thinking about it days later. They have an assortment of artisan cheeses that pair so well with the wines. I'm obsessed with cheese, goat, cow, soft, hard, stinky, the not so stinky. I was so impressed and happy with the variety of cheeses they offered. The pizza they serve is wood fire thin crust and phenomenal! We tried the Apple Hill Pizza pizza which had Chicken sausage, apples, bacon, sage and mozzarella. Pepperoni pizza, and a mushroom pizza that was to die for. We also tasted the meatballs which had beef and sausage. This place was a meat lovers dream. Service- saving the best for last. They were so attentive and friendly. My glass was never empty. They were very nice and informative when we were tasting the wines. They walked around and asked about our experience. Overall the staff were top notch. We even met the owners who were so down to earth, had a great sense of humor, and so friendly. They were so kind and generous. I can't wait to go back. On Fridays they have live music and on the weekends unlimited mimosas. I recommend Lyfting or Ubering :) p.s.- it's Farm to Table! Cheers Cabana

    This hidden gem is the place to be, either during the day on your day off or after a long day this should be your next stop! I had the pleasure of trying this place two days ago with some awesome friends. We had the opportunity to try many of their delicious wines, whether it be a white, red, or a blend you can't go wrong. This is also one of the few vineyards that actually had an amazing menu selection. I highly recommend anything from their large cheese options to their artisan pizzas, which they make their crust from scratch and bake it in their outside pizza oven. They have something available for both vegetarians and meat lovers! Don't be lame and stay inside, though it's always nice to be closer to the bottles of wine or the great blends they have on tap, but go explore what the have outside in the back. Plenty of tables and cozy fire pit to warm up to, or a cushy bench to just sit back and relax. Can't wait to bring some friends back here for a second go around!

    Its a nice. A baseball game playing on the tv with a large wine selection behind the bar. The seating inside is limited, but the accommodations outside are quite extensive. Husband and wife ownership of the business with decades in the wine business. This isn't just the wine talking I think... although I'm sure that if you had attended the event here, the wine would more than likely speak for you as well. If you like reds, their ker-rig-nyon (excuse my atrocious spelling but I was also corrected on its pronunciation during the night haha so this is the only way I know how) was clean and went well with most things. Not too dry, not too sweet for a cab merlot blend. I also had their Pinot Noir and Cabernet. It was the beginning of an incredible evening but I would attribute that to the people around me as well as the owner and servers. Needless to say, the owners for the winery as well as those behind the bar gave a good amount of history and class that made the rest of the evening shine. For what I had in terms of food and what is offered by the restaurant itself I cannot really offer an in depth opinion since I haven't had a meal yet here per se. The pizza (an asparagus and bacon affair) was delish, the dessert was simple clean and tasty. I believe it was bread pudding? Still munched it though haha. After speaking with the owner's wife, my considerations for what would bring me back is simply them. I had a good hour long conversation with the wife of the owner about their traveling and the wine that they bring in on a general basis from around the world. I'm not a conniessuer by any means of the word but I certainly enjoy wine much like anyone else. A lush? Me? xD They've been in the business forevs and it shows. Wine pairings for generations. Certainly, if you have an itch for knowledge of some sort please pick the brains of the people that have won awards. You will not go wrong here. The husband also gives seminars on wine from what I remember. I'll have to come by again sometime to try the food though and I'll update things more then at that time. Hopefully I won't get too engrossed with the wine which I have a tendency for as it is.

    Venue/ambience: Street parking is pretty available around cabana winery. Upon walking inside, there is a cute little set up of tables alongside a bar. The wall side had booth style seating with cute little decorative pillows. There was also a larger outdoor patio area with cute lights and many tables. They had music playing in the background and the owners mentioned that a live band plays on certain days of the week. Food: The cheese plate was amazing! Blue cheese, Brie cheese, some other amazing cheeses! The plate was speckled with cranberries, almonds, and halved strawberries and served with crispy baguette slices. I had the opportunity to try some wonderful wood burn thin crust pizzas with various toppings (along with vegetarian options). Each pizza had a great charred taste and the magic mushroom pizza had an amazing umami flavor. I was also able to try their meatballs which were tasty, very juicy, and the meat kind-of fell apart with tenderness ... The bread pudding was topped with chocolate fudge and had a tasty balance of cinnamon and went well with the whipped cream. It was pretty eggy tasting, however, so my vegetarian roommate was slightly weirded out by it ahha. Though I'm not a wine connoisseur, the cabana white was pretty tasty and had a nice balance of tart and sweet! The red was drier than I prefer by I'm sure that once I get that acquired taste, it would be great (: the sangria wasn't as sweet as the ones I usually try, but it was still good as Scott (the man made it "homemade") was super nice. The owner and his wife were sweethearts and I really appreciate how well they treat the customers there!

    Spread of deliciousness

    So this is my 2nd time at Cabana Winery and Bistro. How cool is this that you can actually go to a winery and not have to drive all the way to Napa or somewhere out in Timbuktu?! This place is right off of 65th and Elvas plus there is unlimited parking along the sides of Elvas. The owner Robert has been in the business for over 25 yrs. Robert , his wife Reeny and staff were very cordial and knowledgeable on wines, cheeses and food. I sampled several cheeses, deli meats as well and tried a few slices of their homemade pizzas that were all delicious !!!! They had to be baked in those brick ovens. Pizza was light and perfect. (Mushrooms, sausage and (I'm thinking the last one was a) mandargherita.) I tried the Pinot Noir and enjoyed it so much, I went for another! After chatting with other guests throughout the evening, the waitress passed chocolate covered bread pudding. This place would be great for meeting up after work with friends. Ambiance is warm and romantic. In the front there is covered patio seating with heated torches on all sides. Perfect for an engagement or milestone birthday. If you are looking for a venue for a small or large event, the back of the establishment holds up to 200 persons if I remember right, plus there is a fire pit to congregate around on those nippy evenings. I'm sure I'll be back for many more times in the near future!

    Love this Sangria!! Really enjoyed getting to know Robert,  the owner. A must stop people. Great wines! We loaded up and we will be back!!

    Had a great time talking to Robert, the owner, about his new winery here Lodi. Stop by and say 'Hi"!! Love the Sangria! Come try it! Love this New place!!

The winery grounds are stunning, with plenty of seating areas to relax, enjoy wine, and take in the scenery. It truly feels like an all-in-one destination--they have a winery, café, bistro, and even a shop where you can pick up snacks and local goods. Everything is thoughtfully designed so you can spend the entire day there without needing to leave. The bakery selection was a highlight. They had an impressive variety, from full-size pies to single slices, along with cookies and brownies. The apricot items stood out during our visit, and the chocolate chip cookies and brownies were especially delicious. The persimmon cookie was unique and unforgettable. For food, a barbecue food truck was catering the pickup party. The burger they served was fantastic, and the brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It came with a really good potato salad and fresh watermelon that paired perfectly with the winery's reds. Our favorite wine of the day was the Earthquake red--bold, rich, and perfect with the heavier foods. There was also live music, perfect weather, and a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and everything was clean and well maintained. The gardens were in full bloom, offering beautiful photo spots--especially the sunflowers and fountains scattered throughout the property. Overall, it's the kind of place you can spend an entire day at--starting with a morning visit and easily staying through lunch and into the late afternoon. Whether you go as a couple, with friends, or a larger group, it's a perfect weekend destination for wine, food, and relaxation. Can't wait for the next pick up! :)

The potato salad was seasoned so well that I ended up finishing the entire serving, which, almost never happens. Of course, the Michael David wines was outstanding, as always.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the night.

As there weren't many folks doing a tasting on a weekday we got VIP treatment and had a deljghtful conversation, and education about the wines, from the person pouring for us. We really enjoyed our stay and the surroundings made it extra nice. Compared to the hype of Napa and Sonoma this winery and others in the Lodi area are down to earth and affordable in comparison, especially for tastings. This place very much is worth a visit. Sitting outside to sip a bottle must be delightful too.

    With all of the wineries in Lodi, it can be a difficult decision where to stop in at! We visited…read moreStonum Vineyards a few weekends ago and were delighted with the rustic yet charming ambiance of the winery. We were quickly greeted by the friendly female hostess who offered us either indoor or outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors to enjoy our tastings of both whites & reds . Normally I prefer reds however in the summer I enjoy a crisp Sauvangion Blanc or even a nice Rose. If you purchase a bottle your tasting fee is waived which is always a great deal. We enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for the Alpine Block party event which included tastings at Stonum Vineyards and two other nearby wineries. This fun filled evening included live music, food trucks, and the Lodi Wine trolley shuttling you back & forth between the wineries. Definitely a good time! I highly recommend Stonum Vineyards & Tasting Room for great wine, friendly service and well coordinated, entertaining events.

I had driven by many times and it seemed like an appointment only place but I guess now they have enough staffing to open up the hours and days of the week. First, their reputation has always been very good. They've had some recognition from some reputable wine sources so I had very high expectations for the wine. In, short, the wines were very good. They had a nice selection from rose to the more Lodi styled red wines. I really did enjoy all the wines and the price point seems fair. I guess I was kinda hoping to meet the winemaker, learn more about their vineyards and purpose for growing certain varietals. When you get wine with a story it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I really like this place and I'm hoping to make a stronger connection with the business since I consider myself an advocate for Lodi wines since my hobby is to compare our wines with the best out in the other regions of CA. Pretty heavy competition but so far Lodi is more than able to compete with certain types of wines aka Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Syrah and occasionally Cabernet.

    What can I say about Fired Up Pizza? It was outstanding from the very first bite. The crust alone…read moredeserves praise--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. The ingredients were fresh, and watching the pizzas come together right in front of us in a mobile wood-burning oven made the experience even better. We enjoyed a Hawaiian pizza that had a little kick thanks to a sweet chili sauce--sweet, savory, and just the right amount of heat. We also tried an off-menu standout: a fig and prosciutto pizza finished with fresh greens and a beautiful balsamic drizzle--absolutely incredible. On top of the amazing food, the owners, Teresa McCord and Ryan McCord, were so sweet and genuinely customer-focused, which made the experience even more memorable. We paired the evening with wine tasting and ended up picking up a bottle for the owners of Lodi Fired Up Pizza, along with a bottle of Barbera to take home for ourselves. Such delicious wines all around. Beautiful patio and tasting room! All of this took place at Jeremy Wine Company in Lockeford. Even with a bit of wind, everyone was raving about the pizza pop-up. A total win all around.

The vibes are perfection, cozy seating, indoor outdoor vibes, and friendly service! We enjoyed our tasting so much we ended up coming back the next day for the Zin-Lab experience. Truly cannot recommend this enough! Make your own bottle of wine but blending and tasting like a scientist! It was SO fun!

    The Dancing Fox Winery & Brewery was the final stop for our Executive Team Building adventure. We…read morestopped in on the way back from our event. We were greeted and seated promptly after arriving. The restaurant is decorated in vintage paintings and furniture, a large brick oven for pizzas and a cute outdoor patio with additional seating. Our server was very attentive, ensured our drinks were topped off and we were satisfied with our orders. We ordered a pizza, wings & mozzarella sticks as starters. I ordered the Tri Tip Green Chili Melt which was really good, others in the group ordered, wings, fish & chips, chicken caprese sandwich & the French Dip. All of our food & drink were delicious & our service was top notch. We enjoyed our dining experience at Dancing Fox and plan to dine here again in the future.

We got the foccicia bread basket as an appetizer and it was really good, herb, olive oil, soft bread like a sponge. The chicken pot pie was excellent, full of flavor, great crust and good filling. I got the French dip, it was probably one of the best I had in a while. The au jus was the best part, thick, flavorful along with a strong creamy horseradish. Service............. Not so much. For a big place that was maybe 40% occupied, it was soooooooooooooooooo slow. One server from what I see, 2 bussers, and 5 others standing around chatting. Took a good 30 mins to get seated (there was tables available), though we got to go to their tasting room, and got a bottle of wine; another 20 mins to get the server's attention after getting seated and probably another 40 for the food to come. That was probably the most irritating.

    I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves it. Every time…read morewe visit Calivirgin Winery in Lodi, we always hope Rachelle is there--and that alone says a lot. She has a way of making each visit feel special without trying too hard. She's welcoming, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable, but never overwhelming. Instead, she creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and come back again. What really sets her apart is her consistency. It's not just one great visit--every time we've been there, she's gone above and beyond with the same positive energy and attention to detail. Because of her, this winery has become our go-to spot. I even celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was such a memorable experience. All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing Rachelle was--everyone felt taken care of, comfortable, and truly impressed with the service. The winery itself is beautiful, accommodating, and perfect for gatherings, which made the celebration even better. On top of that, the entire team at Calivirgin is fantastic. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. The wine is excellent, the setting is great, and the people are what truly make this place stand out for us. We'll absolutely keep coming back, and a big reason for that is Rachelle.

Last weekend on a trip to Sacramento, I finally had a chance to stop by their Olive Mill and Winery. There is a nice sparking clean outdoor patio with picnic tables within a few steps from the olive oil grove but it was a bit hot that day so we opted to sit inside. In addition to the olive oil tasting set, there were some brunch items such as a crostini and salad as well as a Mediterranean plate with hummus. We opted for the crostini, olive oil tasting and a cappuccino. The jalapeño olive oil was unique and flavorful enough that we bought a couple bottles of it to take home. The pear vinaigrette was thick and tangy. The waitresses were friendly and helpful when we had a couple questions about the dishes. The shelves in the shop area is full of flavored olive oils and vinaigrette as well as ceramic and a whole slew of items for serving charcuterie. If you are a fan of olive oil and are planning on a trip up to Sacramento or Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend stopping by to check out Calivirgin.
