Came here about a month ago... Charming little tasting spot. Raquel was such a sweet and awesome Somm. She was knowledgeable and made the experience very intimate and not intimidating. Love love the wines she recommended especially the concrete Zin and the Grenache! Both were my faves! read more

Oh my my! My husband and I have been here a couple of times and came back for a third visit and became a member. It's rare to like everything you taste so it was a no brainer to become a member and enjoy the 30% off of the total purchase. We left with 4 bottles of wine and a dill mustard for a little over $100 and that's with the tip. That was our first committed purchase and we can't wait to go back which will be soon since we only have 1 bottle left. Oh and the service was and has always been great! So all the way around, a win win. read more

We went here for our annual Post-Christmas wine tasting event, and it was a great choice. The staff was informative about the history of the winery and the wines they were serving. There was 15 of us trying the wines and she accommodated all of us. Ambiance was wonderful and comfortable! Hoping to come back again soon! Thank you Rippey for being a part of our event! read more

What a beautiful winery! Heather was amazing she was knowledgeable and knows her wines and pleasantly served about 6 people during my wine tasting experience and it went well! She allowed us to roam the winery as we tasted. She even personally showed us their reserve room for 10 people which was a nice private area. for $15 dollars you can have about 5-6 tastings. She even let us try two petite sirah a Napa and Lodi one. To see which one we liked I of course enjoyed the Napa one and purchased it. My fav was there cab and Sauvignon Blanc! It was so pleasant here I end up becoming a member! I was also told on Friday nights they have something from 6-9pm. I'll have to come and check it out! read more

Cute, quaint, and off the beaten path. If you're looking for low key casual vibes, then Lodi Vintners is definitely the place for it. Came here with the ladies during our Lodi wine tasting trip last year and we really enjoyed ourselves. Lodi Vintners is one of only a few wineries that are actually open at 10 am on the weekends. Because us gals like to have our wine for breakfast (don't be judging)! But really, we just wanted to squeeze one more winery visit in for the day and the morning worked best for that. The tasting room at Lodi Vintners is located off the beaten path. It's right near the railroad and offers some beautiful views of both their vineyards and the railroad tracks. Since this part of town isn't as bustling, there's this wonderful peaceful element that's so relaxing here. We were the only party there during most of our tasting (probably because we got there so early). Parking is easy and ample. They have an adorable shaded patio deck with comfy seating. There's a nice breeze that settles in from the railroad tracks which is perfect given that this area gets pretty warm. Tasting flights are pre-poured and feature 4 tastes of your choice off of their extensive wine list. It's $10 for a taste of their family wines and $15 for a taste of their award winning wines. The tasting fee is waived with a purchase of a $20 charcuterie box. They also require reservations. They welcomed us with a splash of their brut sparkling which was actually extremely tasty. I chose one white wine and 3 reds for my tasting flight. I enjoyed their red wines more than the white wine (I tasted their Chenin Blanc). Overall, the wines were good for the price. My favorite was their crossing red blend which was fuller bodied and richer than the other reds that I tried. I was surprised at how light their Zinfandel was. If I didn't know beforehand that it was Zin, li would have easily thought it was a Pinot. That's how light it was. Wasn't a huge fan of this, but a few of my friends enjoyed it. Did not get the name of the lady who poured our flights and assisted us but she was very attentive even though our flights were pre-poured. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. I would come back with the ladies again for a more relaxed tasting experience. read more

Where do I begin?! Finding a winery in Lodi that gives you a true tasting experience is rare, but Rippey has it dialed in. Truly a hidden gem- the wine is fantastic from whites to reds. The staff is amazing, Kim, Raquel & Rustin are so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend!!! read more

I was recommended to come here from a coworker. I finally made an an appointment a couple months later and brought my mom with me for the tatsting. Dennis and Brooke hosted my mom and I. It was a fabulous experience. The reds are delicious. I had such an amzing experience, I joined the winery. My Aunt came to visit from out of state as well as my sister with family from Orange County in late September. I made an appointment for all of us to do a flight tatsting. I also needed to pick-up my wine. Mava hosted us. It was nice since we were the only group tatsting during that housr we were there. We definitely got first class service. Mava was awesome. I ended up purchasing more wine for my Aunt so she could bring back to TN and share with her family. The winery also, have a nice dry brut sparkling wine, a delicious balsamic vinegar U highly recommend trying out. read more

This place on the inside was very modern, you can tell they spent a lot of money making this place very nice. I loved that they had little knick knacks you could buy, I bought this rooster topper for a wine bottle for my MIL, very unique cute stuff. Also their wines were very smooth. they didn't rush you, but also didn't give you too much info on the wines either, which I personally liked LOL, sometimes you are overwhelmed with info, but they would tell you if you asked, so that was nice! We also had lunch below and that was a spacious room with nice decor and a beautiful view. read more

Some local friends took us wine tasting to Lodi Vintners while we were visiting. As soon as we walked in, the server Mava barked at us about reservations and that we needed to stand outside with our masks and she'd "be with us eventually"... I don't know if she was entertaining her friends or just overwhelmed by the 6 people in the establishment, but the dog sitting at the bar was treated better than us P.O.C. (People of color) seemed to be treated. Very unexpected while we're coming out of pandemic they'd be very welcoming to our money at their establishment. Oh well, on to the next one. Cheers! read more

It was 4:30, on a hot Saturday afternoon, the tasting room was closing at 5:00. We rushed over & had no time to spare but the tasting room manager was gracious enough to allow us to taste several wines, and long story short, we ended up with a case of wine! We were there the previous weekend for a birthday party and I fell in love with their moscato. Highly recommend sliding Vinters! read more

We were cruising around Lodi with our dogs and found Lodi Vintners from BringFido.com. WONDERFUL place!! My favorite is the Concrete Zin!! Besides the wine being great, the staff are so kind to pups. Everyone came out of their office to come greet, treat, and pet our pups. It was a hot day so our boys liked the AC and cold floors of the tasting room. The grounds are a great area to walk around with your pups too! We ended up joining the wine club that day and later went to our first event there (Lobster Boil)! DELICIOUS. Got to meet other members who were so fun and kind! read more

Some friends came down to Lodi to wine taste took them to Lodi vintners all I have to say the customer service is horrible This woman named mava treated us like crap she was rude and not friendly at all I will definitely tell all my friends not to go there. We felt that we were not welcome idk if it was bc of our skin color or bc she was overwhelmed. Btw was only 4 people in there. The dog at the bar got better service than we did. read more

While tasting at Lodi Vintners/Rippey family winery we were welcomed by smiles of two friendly and informative workers. It's a comfortable atmosphere where you feel like you've known them like old friends. Each person knew tasting notes and recommended pairings with wines as the poured and even gave us little tastings of things they sold in the shop. I don't know if this is a regular occurrence but we enjoyed it and felt like it was a special treat. Highly recommend for anyone in the area. Dennis was professional and friendly. Even other patrons were friendly. Had a great time. read more

Rippey at Lodi Vintners - Lodi Sauvignon blanc. Pairs well with prosciutto wrapped melon. - Wineries Near Me - Acampo, California

Disappointing! We were looking forward to trying their wines but we were told that we needed a reservation, which I made through their website reservation. I've attached the confirmation here. I explained it to the lady but she said that they do not do online reservation, yet their website says so. We were told that it is their wine and chocolate event tasting today and they are booked. Did not even bother to ask for my name for the reservation and when I asked that if my name was even on the list, she did not even try. Clearly, we were not welcome. Need better costumer service. read more

We had an amazing experience here. Dennis went above and beyond. Dog friendly. Wines were excellent!!! Wonderful customer service. You won't regret coming here. read more

The staff here is a very informal and extremely friendly. If you were looking for a fancy environment this may not be the place. Frankly, I'd rather be in a very casual atmosphere to enjoy wine and weather. The courtyard area is absolutely beautiful and peaceful and there is a deck out front with two huge umbrellas if you want to sit outside and enjoy your wine. I will caution though that they are a dog friendly place and they only encourage animals that are well behaved which is completely reasonable. The wine selections are amazing and you can find Rippy as well as Rain brands here. My favorite tasting room in Lodi area thus far ... read more

Lodi Vinters might be unique in Lodi, because they feature excellent Lodi wines AND wines from Napa Valley as well. Friendly service and a shop with interesting gift items. Looking forward to the tasting room opening. Many excellent wines to try. Try it you'll like it! read more

Ya, these ladies in here are crabby. If you're Ready to taste and buy, go elsewhere. We are here for a wedding and the vibe is unwelcoming We will go elsewhere read more

Awesome little tasting room. Super friendly people who are happy to chat all about wine and life. I arrived shortly after they opened and had the place to myself. There are 2 tasting flights (pick the reserve -slightly more expensive or the signature flight both are 5 tastes). Normal for Lodi- the fee is waived with a bottle purchase. After asking if I could pick 5 tastes between the 2 she said no but as we continued to chat about the wines she ended up pouring me 4 or 5 from the signature and another 3 from the reserve. I bought 3 bottles and would have gotten more but it was my first stop of the day. The grounds had picnic tables and a nice area to sit and enjoy food/wine. You would have to bring your own food to picnic. There bocci ball courts (is that the right word??) and it very family and dog friendly. I highly recommend stopping by. I will return and possibly even join their wine club. read more

Lodi Vintners has a great knowledgeable and welcoming staff, and a wide selection a wines. It was hard to choose they were all delicious. The tasting room is rustic and modern in design. They remodeled the downstairs and it is gorgeous. A great place for small gatherings. I'm pretty sure you can reserve it. It's decorated with elegance and eclectic charm. Complete with dining table and comfy cozy seating area with a view of the vineyard. This should definitely be a place to stop. I know during warm seasons they have a lot of events including art shows, concerts, and outdoor movies on the property that includes covered seating outdoor kitchen, bocci courts and a fountain. They also have a great gift shop area where you can find something for anyone on your list. It's also dog friendly. I just recently took my grandfather here with our dogs and we had a wonderful time tasting wine and having conversations with the other patrons and employees. Try it! read more

Great wine, service, people. Always visit twice for tasting & purchases on a 3 day trip to Lodi.

We went to Lodi, CA to celebrate my birthday in November 2020. Right before the trip, California went to purple and a lot of the wineries were affected as they did not have outside spaces available to host the tasting rooms. We decided to still make the trip and called several of the wineries to visit to setup a reservation. This winery was awesome!!! Dennis and Mava were available on the day we went and let me tell you they were Amazing!!!!!! When Dennis found out that we came from New Orleans to celebrate my birthday in Lodi, he gave me an additional wine to try as a birthday present!! They have a nice area setup outside for the wine tastings since they aren't able to utilize the "actual tasting room due to the pandemic" but since the weather was nice, I did not mind at all. They really kept us entertained and never once rushed us to make us feel as though we needed to leave. We will definitely visit again once the pandemic is under control!! Visit this winery and you will not be disappointed. Oh and did I mention the wine is fantastic as well. So much so, that we went back another day and ordered 3 bottles of bring home with us!! read more

We were members of the wine club of a winery previously at this location. When they pulled out, Lodi Vintners took over and retained the staff. They were the reason we enjoyed coming here. It is nice the wines are still good also! read more

Mava was an excellent hostess and since I was visiting solo, she made me feel especially welcome. Lodi Vintners has a nice array of wines and I was pleasantly surprised with the Zinfandel. I'm not a huge fan of reds but this Zin was so good I bought a bottle to take home. It's also very nice that they have a selection of other goods, including balsamic vinegars, interesting mustards and snacks (can't wait to try the Chili Lime Tequila Tortilla Brittle!). If Lodi is too far to go, they will ship to you, too. All in all a great experience at Lodi Vintners and I highly recommend them. read more

First time to Lodi vintners kind of last minute after picking up a wine club at Fields. It was 4:30 and we weren't allowed to taste because they had an event that ended at 4:00. And had there been signs stating that, we would not have gone but ALL their signs said 5:00. Definitely not a good first impression and if I have anything to do with it, that would be my last impression of them. They obviously don't need me and I don't need them read more

Nice wine tasting experience, wines were pretty good.

Decent wines, decent service. Other tasing rooms in the area are preferable to my tastes.

My husband and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary in Napa and also wanted to visit Lodi wineries. We stopped at Lodi vintners to taste on our way out of town. The service was amazing and the wines delicious. We bought more than a case of wine to enjoy at home! We will be back!! read more

My girlfriends birthday and Memorial Day. We come in with both veterans and birthdays. How ever we were treated as if we were a burden for coming in. We had 12 of us who frequent wineries as well as are members of several wine clubs and enjoy wine plain and simple. Service was rude before we even started. Not sure of the ladies name but none the less we left to find happier people with better service. read more

Not very friendly pourers. Just wanted to buy a couple bottles and celebrate my nieces 25th birthday but evidently the 8 of us was too much for the two employees that were pouring for 1 couple that was in the tasting room. read more

Sounds like they are in between owners. The pourers couldn't have been nicer. Heavy on Napa wines. The Napa wines were okay, but a little pricey. Will have to go back in a few months to see how they are doing. read more
