I just went in to check it out and they told me about the 50% off I ended up ordering a cocktail because they were really nice and the place was super cute. So far I have had excellent service. It's very clean it looks like it's brand new basically I love the decorations it's not too crowded the street parking was not too hard to find it's free after 5:00 p.m. except for Sundays and holidays. And this cherry cider is delicious.
Located right in the heart of downtown Lodi, Scotto's has an open-air tasting room with outside seating. The day we visited, there was live music! A duo was doing cover songs and it added to the warm ambiance. Their tasting menu I believe was $15 and the fee is waived with the purchase of two (!!!) bottles. Personal rant, yeah maybe I'm old school, or maybe just old, but I recall the days when tastings were complimentary. I can see a tasting fee waived with one bottle purchase, but two seems a bit out of reach. You can choose four wines from a list of six. I love Lodi reds so I went straight there. The 2021 Pinot Noir ($30) was well-rounded, with berry and cherry notes. It was my favorite. Their 2020 red wine blend ($30) had a savory aroma on the nose, nothing really stood out for me. Next their Heavyweight 2021 Cab ($25) I found to be well-balanced and fruity, which is typical of the region for Cab. Finally their 2020 Petite Sirah ($30) had floral notes, lots of tannin and could probably lay this one down for a few years. Overall a great spot to spend an afternoon downtown. Honestly it's probably the best option if you want to try some Lodi wines and are downtown.
Scotto's is a cute little wine bar with a great selection of ciders and wines. They also offer snacks like popcorn, chips, and mini charcuterie boards. The ciders were a bit too sweet for me, but they did have a great red blend that I really enjoyed, as well as a spiked hot chocolate that was absolutely delicious. The space is very clean and they offer multiple games to play while you enjoy your drink. The service was great too, our server was very knowledgeable about the different wines and ciders they offered. Right now, they also have an added experience: a Christmas trolley that takes you around town to look at holiday lights. It was a lot of fun, and you're even allowed to bring your wine on the trolley! I'd definitely recommend Scotto's if you're looking for a chill spot to enjoy wine or cider.
Chilling at Scotto's Wine & Cider watching Super Bowl LX ! With a bottle of Scotto's Chardonnay . Yes This is how you CHILL! P.S Let's NOT FORGET THE COMMERCIALS. Ask for Kevin, he's the Wine Whisper Here!
Goodplace to hang out for drinks. My husband I went bar hopping and stopped by. Staff were friendly and helpful. Had some st.pattys day mimosas. Great hangout for friends. Good pricing.
Exploring Lodi with family. We didn't realize Lodi had become a huge winery scene. After visiting a couple of wineries, we visited downtown Lodi. Scotto's caught our attention as they have cider tastings, in addition to wines. Plenty of tables and we found ourselves in a welcoming environment. They have a variety of tasting options - maybe a bit on the pricey side, however. Although I really wanted to try the ciders, I decided to go with the Sparkle & POP tasting instead. Different, and I enjoyed the various cocktails offered. We were happy to find an "alcohol removed" wine tasting since there were some family members who were not drinkers. Comfortable spot, and we enjoyed our time there.
Drinks are amazing. Ciders and wine and cocktails are sooo good. The atmosphere is very friendly and fun. Love the staff and coloring with markers or pencils while you drink cider or wine. Visited yesterday. It was so fun seeing adults come in, look at the coloring paper and markers, with a huff saying who colors? We are adult! Then see them a few minutes later picking the coloring sheet and creating a masterpiece
Let's start off with having cotton candy with your bubbly is a must! It's looks cute and is great combination with a sparkling wine or champagne. This wine bar is in downtown Lodi and street parking is your only option. I believe it's 90 mins in most spaces. The host allowed us to taste a couple of wines before we chose and that was very helpful in us deciding. It was as about $12 per glass with the cotton candy. They have plenty of bar and seating options. I definitely will be back soon !
We had an hour until our olive oil tasting so we strolled into Scotto's. Holly greeted us with a smile that was infectious so we sidled up to the bar and dove into the menu. She shared the highlights of the menu and we made our choices. I thought the Chardonnay Peach sounded lovely and he had the Wild Cherry cider. A sip or two in and I quickly realized the peach was mostly vanilla - nice but not something I'd order again. I had the Chardonnay Pear and it was delightfully crisp and refreshing, exactly what I needed to jump start the afternoon. He enjoyed his cider...he would have had another but we had to jet to our next tasting. Had a terrific conversation with Holly and the manager - a load of fun and some good laughs for sure. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and not expected to get busy until a little later so we were able to enjoy the convo and sipping in a great setting. I meant to grab a couple bottles of Rosé but darn it, I was in a hurry to make our next appointment...I rushed and forgot. My brain is crazy like that, but heck it gives us an excuse to go back! Delectable ciders, and loads of wine choices, the staff were super friendly I could have spent a couple hours there. P.S. Holly gave me an excellent jalapeño olive oil tip...wholly hummus, it's now my favorite snack! Right in downtown Lodi, lots of parking (provided you're patient). Great spot for sure.
This place is always a 10 out of 10! I remember coming here when it first open way back in the day. I partner and I were back in town for the vet at my grad school and we had to check out my favorite little spots. I really liked this flight because it's reasonably priced, you got a lot to drink, and the team there she's so friendly! They still had the games that you can place my partner and I stayed for a little bit and played some games. Can't wait to come back!
Drinks and service was amazing!!! Kevin was a super friendly and knowledgeable person. We will most definitely be back.
My cousins & I stopped by for a drink during the farmers market. I had a couple samples of different ones they were all yummy. :) the place is super cute and the guy behind the bar was very kind and helpful. Will be back soon!
This place was so fun and lively! There was live music and they sang me happy birthday. The drink options were really good and if you aren't sure about something, the staff will let you taste it first which is always helpful for some people when trying new things. read more

Tonight I paid $12 for less than two fingers of some cheap wine. I loved this place in the past however it has changed. The person behind the counter ran out of wine and stiffed me. He was too cheap to open up a new bottle. Look at the photo. Does that look like $12 pour worth of wine. I've lived in Lodi for 57 years and I'm a member of four wine clubs. This treatment is a joke. read more
Scotto's wine was great. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. I can't wait to go wine tasting there. They have different types of little wine cocktails so it's really good so if you're in downtown Lodi check out Scottos, wine and cider really good. We're walking around downtown Lodi and ran into this little place and now I'm gonna do a wine tour. I cannot wait. read more

This place is adorable! I came on a cold December day with some of my best friends to celebrate my birthday. I tried the wild cherry cider which was super tasty and my friend had the mango jalapeño cider which was TO DIE FOR! The jalapeño wasn't overpowering at all. We also had a bottle of red and a bottle of a lemonade type wine which were also delicious. The woman behind the bar came to check on us several times and was very nice. I will definitely be coming back! read more

This was where I came to meet up with my SIP Friends for the day and while I was waiting I decided to have a Rose. The set up was very organized, a little modern with a twist. They had a wide selection, if I had more time I would have gotten some more! I thought about it. Lots of space for bands and people, it was really cute, I would come back for sure! read more

I feel a little spoiled with the tasting rooms we have in Sac and Camino but I like downtown Lodi nonetheless. The cider here is FANTASTIC. They have something for everyone's palette. I created my own flight and my two favorites were the strawberry and blueberry, so flavorful! I also tried the jalapeño mango just before we left and I could not believe how good it was! It has jalapeño flavor but was not actually spicy like a jalapeño, very impressive! I will be back with friends in tow and ready to pour chase next time. So good! read more

Yuuuuuuummmy. They have so many different ciders. This place was the last stop on our wine tasting "train" so to speak. I was pleased, it was the perfect place to end, because of the cider. There were so many, I can't even remember which one I ended up choosing, I do know it was D E L I C I O U S. I am only a little bit upset I didn't get to get the "Fruit & Vine" pinot grigio they make, nor can I find it hardly anywhere anymore. They have a wine club, but no one bothered talking to me about it. Which I am a little bit feeling some kind of way. I love its downtown. I will definitely have to come back and check this place out again. Maybe the next time they will talk to me about their wine club! read more

Visited this newer wine and cider tasting room and really enjoyed ourselves. We came in to get out of the heat and sure glad we did they had their AC cranked so it felt super good. After having a seat at the bar was immediately greeted by the super friendly staff. We decided to do a wine tasting first and here's a forewarning if you are with someone to split it because it's the equivalent on two healthy glasses of wine. The reason I say this if you enjoyed this by yourself could either set you up later for a drunk day that ends early or a bad ending to a wine tasting day. The reason I say this is you have to save room to sample some of their ciders.We tried the red, white and blue plus the jalapeño mango and while both were very good. I loved the red, white and blue so delicious. read more

One of our 'go to' stops when meandering about downtown Lodi! We love the vibe - a cool contemporary SF feel in at the bar or out on the patio (especially when it is fully open between the two areas). Janice makes the tasting room at Scotto's happening --- enthusiastic and engaging. The same goes with Holly after our recent visit. Besides their appreciated customer service, we also enjoyed their cider and wine selection. We like having the differing flavors of cider and/or when Janice blends them particularly on warm days. Based on tastings and recommendations, the '13 Malbec was our favorite! We enjoyed the Heavyweight also coupled that my son has a biased appreciation for the label :) read more
