It was a cold night but they provided fire pits for us and had a beautiful indoor wine floor. While a lot of technical issues came about they handled it very respectfully and with smiles.

For the concert, they had a bbq food truck on site and inside, some wines available by the glass or bottle. Service was quick and friendly, and the concert was the awesome.

Michael David winery is one of beautiful winery in Lodi…read more Parking: free plenty in its own complex Inside, it is decorated like a resort with waterfall, lush gardens Its most popular wine: freakshow is totally delicious. It also hosts private events for its member here and there. I was lucky to be invited to their members only event with hula dancers show and meals. I have been to Napa, Sonoma and Paso Robles. I am glad to come across this beautiful winery in Lodi.

We started with a wine flight and then stayed for lunch in the café…read more The tasting flight was very good, with the Misfits & Mavens red blend being my favorite of the group. Afterward, we walked the grounds, which were absolutely gorgeous. The only downside was how noticeable the nearby highway noise was at times. For lunch, I ordered the Lodi Burger with potato salad, while my wife went with the combo featuring the chicken tortilla soup and tri-tip sandwich. My burger was good overall, though the bun could have been a bit fresher. The potato salad was solid. That said, my wife definitely ordered the better meal. I sampled both her soup and sandwich and unsuccessfully tried to negotiate a trade. Overall, this was a solid stop with good wine, pleasant grounds, and enjoyable food. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

Drive up to the office & what you notice immediately is how dignified & elegant the building &…read moreproperty are. The facade alone is worthy of an Architectural Digest cover. The front doors are practically majestic. No appointment necessary, but there is not an actual tasting room, so they do not do tastings in house. All are welcome to peruse the wine list (see pic) & purchase bottles for home. Prices are beyond reasonable; $9 or 10 bucks a bottle, w the most expensive being $16. $120 is the average for a case, & if you buy a case there is a 10% discount. The Cabernet & the Pinot Noir have the largest following, & it is the Pinot Noir that is my personal choice. California is blessed w grapes, & we are lucky to have such easy access to so many quality wines. Unlike the majority of the country (& the world for that matter), we're part of that privileged few that have the luxury of drinking locally, instead of having to fly or order our wine from great & far. Location, location, location. 4 stars.

Service was really friendly and they were really quick on their feet. They were very accommodating with bringing hot sauce and Juice when we requested it. . The Highlight item that we really like is the Pea Sprout bruchetta which has a grilled sourdough with formage blanc cheese spread. Definitely fresh and different and healthy. . We really like the bubbles it was very refreshing and has a nice touch of Granny apples to the opening of the bubbles. It was not on the sweet side and it was perfect for appearing with lighter dishes that is offered on the menu. . We also enjoy cow's milk Barada which was a very unique dish with Szechuan pepper and a really nice pistachio nuts and honey and the burrata which was very tasty and very complex and goes well with a Malbec red wine. . Overall I will come back and visit this place again with future menus as they do change monthly or whenever the season is in stock with new items. If you're looking for somewhere to have good Bubbles and a brunch they are serving it here and look no further and Lodi. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day.

My husband and I came out all the way from Lodi to see our girl Carina. We have followed her the…read morelast 10 years at every winery she worked at. We know she will only work at places with exceptional wines and Wente was exactly that. It was a beautiful high end experience where Carina took the time to pour us each wine individually and explain the rich history of the winery. SO MUCH HISTORY Carina's infectious love for wine and this industry caused us as usual to buy more wine than we had planned to. But it's okay it was the holidays and worth the splurge. We will be back for some fun summer events and to refill our wine fridge.

Sadly, this is now closed to the public. I realized this recently when I posted a Wente review to…read morethe wrong location. THIS was the one I really wrote about. Sigh. It's absolutely stunning.  Love the design, it's immaculate, and delicious. Easy-peasy parking right off of Arroyo Road.  From the moment the gf and I walked thru the gate, we were wowed.  It's lovely, with lots of variety to sit and sip: Tables around a grass area, covered patio, standing in tasting room, cabanas, or outside in open grounds near casual grub. * Cabanas need advanced reservations. I like how if you want a glass of wine, you are so enticed to buy a bottle.  For example, if you want a glass of chardonnay, it will cost you $12.  Two, $24.  A bottle is $22.  And, if you can't drink it all, cork it and throw it safely into your trunk until you get home. #LoveWenteVineyards

I enjoyed the wine flavors here a bit better. I'm more for the lighter white wine selections these days. They gave me good options. The outdoor garden area with patio seating is pleasant. Their venue has a more modern and clean feel. It seems pretty relaxing. Some of the cutest pumpkins and gourds were displayed at the entranceway. The expanse of the vineyard itself is amazing in the forefront of blue skies and sunlight. Lots of parking is available on their gravel lot. What I do know, cuz of my sis, is that they're a dog-friendly establishment. (Please remember to bring appropriate snacks and drinks for the pups.)

The place was beautiful our tour guide was amazing Travan not sure if this is the correct spelling…read morebut he was knowledgeable about the place he was super nice to all of us. Treated us with respect and kindness the whole time we were there, this would be our first time going there. But the two ladies behind the bar !wow! talk about purposely making you feel unwelcome, giving us side eyes... like if they were above us. I didn't like or appreciate that kind of attitude towards ANYONE this is a business there are certain protocols that need to be followed, regardless. We weren't being disrespectful or loud! In my family We are taught very early on to be very RESPECTFUL. Anyways, I put my feelings aside and I didn't let the two females ruin MY day. We had a wonderful time, Because we chose to dust off the bad vibes. And make it a memorable day with my sisters and friends. I probably will be going somewhere else, the next time I want to do wine tasting again. IMPROVE; I would say maybe a lesson in bedside manners for the 2 ladies behind the counter. We too have all color friends. And welcome them with open arms. * I do want to say to our tour guide T you were so kind on Saturday. Thank you!

So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.
