I happened to be in the Lodi area on a Wednesday, when most wineries are not open. I specifically wanted to taste some Portuguese grape varieties, for which they are known, so I gave them a call. Even though they were not open for tasting on that day, they graciously told me to come on over. As soon as I got there, general manager Nathan Haberkern welcomed me warmly and proceeded to pour me a great variety of their very well-made wines. Of course, they don't just do Portuguese varieties, and they have a great breath of wines to offer. From light bodied, white wines to rich, well crafted, dessert sippers, they will have something for everybody. The wines show the skills of the winemaker, but never feel overly polished. I was particularly impressed with the sweet wines, which many California wineries simply get wrong. Please check them out the next time you're in the area. Support local wine! read more

One of our favorite wineries! We walked in as a group of 11 on a Saturday around 3pm even though we had reservations but our group turned out to be bigger than expected. There were able to accommodate all of us inside. $10 tasting fee for 6 wines. Tasting fee is waived with 1 bottle purchase. Generous pours! Most of all, we liked most of the wines. Wines were fruity, bold, and have some complexity. You can bring food or snacks. They allow dogs. They have inside and outside seating. Verdelho, Iberian rose, Zinfandel, and petite Sirah were really fruity and bold. Heritage rose was light and not much flavor. Barbera was in the middle. read more

My wife loves a good Port, so she was in heaven when we found St Amant's tasting room. The tasting room is in an unassuming industrial area and a little tricky to find. They don't just have Ports, but on a recommendation we received, we sought out their tasting room to check out their ports. St Amant did not disappoint !!! There are plenty of wine selections. St Amant has heritage wines, Iberian wines, and an assortment of Ports. We enjoyed visiting St Amant so much that we became members of their wine club. read more

On our return to Lodi, we made sure to revisit St. Amant, having enjoyed their wines very much on our last visit. We were once again served by the owner, who gives much information about St. Amant's wines and the region. She is currently featuring Iberian wines and we enjoyed Touriga National and other Portuguese/Spanish varietals that one often doesn't find in CA. We left with a case once again. :-) read more

Go past the guard shack. You're at the right spot. My Lady loves port and I believe she found her spot. The wine goddess was great! It was a great winery in an unexpected place. read more

This place is in the cuts for real (hard to find). If I didn't know where I was going, I wouldn't know where I was going. But, once you get there it's so cute with such good wines and good people pouring them. Excellent service and excellent wine. read more

We have been wine club members at St. Amant winery for years. This is the only club we belong to because it's one of the few wineries where we can say we love all the wines. The Ports are also exceptional. Barbara, the owner, is also a delight and we love our visits here. read more

Been there two times was there recently on a Friday very nice generous portions of servings outstanding varieties.. take some snacks sit down and enjoy your wine read more

Excellent Port wines! The host was knowledgeable and was a fellow fisherman, great to talk to and was helpful in getting me signed up for Bastardo club read more

First, this place is tucked away in an industrial park. Keep looking until you find it. Totally worth the search. We tried the tasting flight. Some very nice wines. Then we started on the port. Oh my! Total happiness in a bottle. Waddled out to the car with our case of wine. Can't wait to get home and start drinking! read more

We visited this winery while driving around finding other Lodi wineries. This was a bit hard to find and felt like we were in the wrong place but it is indeed in a like Warehouse district through the gates of what seems to be manned gate. So no you're lost. It is where the directions are taking you. We had a good wine tasting. The service was great but just not our tastes in wines. They had one port that was good but we decided to go elsewhere as this was not for us. Maybe it will be for you, but just not our cup or tea or should I say not our taste in wine. The ambiance was small warehouse feel to it. read more

This is a great place for wine tasting. It does have an industrial outdoor setting, but inside they have an open room full of barrels for a barrel tasting on one of their wines. We came here during a Tempranillo event, so I am not sure if the barrel tasting for one of them is ongoing moving forward, but I hope it is because it was a great experience! We had one of the best customer services experiences here with a young man that told us a lot of information about each wine we tasted and he seemed very passionate. The barrel tasting one was awesome because we learned a lot about the barrel process in general and they have many award winning wines here, both gold and silver. They also have a double gold Syrah and a great Bootleg Society port amongst delicious Tempranillos. read more

St Amant Winery - Barrel tasting for one of the wines on the tasting list. Awesome! - Wineries Near Me - Lodi, California

When we first drove up, we were definitely confused as it's an area with warehouses so it doesn't feel like all of the other wineries/tasting rooms in Lodi BUT we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. They made a warehouse super cute. We were greeted by a very sweet girl who allowed us to sit wherever we wanted as we were the only ones there. They had a heater next to the table to we sat by which kept us nice and cozy throughout our tasting. The tasting was 10 dollars and waived with a bottle purchase of course. Every single wine was AMAZING. Beyond my expectations, I wanted to take them all home but I stuck with one, the old vine zin. In my opinion, St Amant can do no wrong. read more

We've been coming here since about 1997 on the advice of wine educator Kathe Barnett. She was working for Michael David (which was still called Phillips back then) and she said we just had to try them. Tim Spencer was doing it right, and out of a tiny, out of the way warehouse. They are still in that same warehouse. Sadly, Tim died but he taught his son, Stuart well. Stuart now crafts the wines and is following in his father's footsteps. Barbara, Tom's wife, has always been the face and the voice of the winery and is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Come here. Make sure you taste their Tempranillo and my favorite, their tawny port. This is still my favorite winery in all of Lodi. read more

My family and I stopped in to pick up the Ports that I've heard so much about! I poured them at a private event and had great reviews! Barbara helped us in the tasting room.

St Amant Winery - 2018 Vintage Port and 2019 Bootleg Port - Wineries Near Me - Lodi, California

St. Amant Winery is a must-visit if you are in the Lodi area. The wines were delicious and the service was great.

Great wine great people one of are favorite wineries in Lodi. You should be a wine club member there. You'll love it.

I visited St. Amant today and I had the pleasure of having Megan in the tasting room. She was very knowledgeable on the wine and the history of the winery and very nice. Not only was my experience there wonderful, but the wine was amazing as well. She had some recommendations and I absolutely loved them. I fell so in love with the wine that I signed up as a wine club member. If you are in the area and looking for excellent wine that has the nice ambience of a one on one experience then I highly recommend you stopping by here. You will not regret it. read more

This is the 2nd time that I've been here in the last 2 years. The first time, I didn't buy anything. The second time, I bought the Tawny Port. Their ports are delicious! They are located in an industrial looking area, which can be somewhat hard to find. There was only 1 lady working behind the counter and she was very sweet and genuine. I would recommend this place for their delicious ports. read more

The best selection of Port wines and Spanish wines styled with a California brush. The heavy hitters here are the Zinfandel from two different vineyards. The Mohr Fry is a bit more feminine, and the Marian's Vineyard a bit more masculine. They are both big fruit wines and each will find a favorite within your group. For a bit of trivia, one of the coolest details is the actual address: 1 Winemaster Way, Lodi CA. For the other selections, they have a Barbera, Touriga, and Tempranillo to round out the reds. Also there is a Verdehlo which was also very good. Still, the most amazing wines are probably the Port. Even if you don't care for Port wines, you will appreciate what they've done here! A Bootleg Port is a great easy drinking entry level port. I would consider it a Gateway Port with hints of vanilla and dark fruits, but not too much oak. Next, they have a Vintage Port which is outstanding and this is definitely a keeper! It reminds me of the true Portuguese styled Ports, but more refined and affordable. Finally, you have the Tawny Port, which is basically candied almonds, burnt carmel in a glass. There is a hint of brandy, but overall it is a true sipping wine to be shared in the middle of winter, say December 21st, during the solstice. read more

This is my favorite winery! I have known the family for years and appreciate their knowledge and passion for wine making! The winery is a fun and welcoming venue! Everyone is welcomed by the friendly staff ! I like all the wines but my favorite isthe Old Vine Zinfandel ! Each wine is spectacular so you can't go wrong! read more

Summary: Some very interesting varietals of the Spanish/Portuguese variety (a couple we had never heard of before), good for people that like bigger flavors and that earthy manuery smell, and very friendly pourers. Tasting was free as well. This place is a bit difficult to find. You have to go into the commercial complex and cut right, then in the building H or I on the left there should be a sign for the winery. Park and walk toward the back where the tasting room is. I went here for the first time with my wife and her parents on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We were greeted as soon as we stepped in side by a friendly woman and a younger guy. We made our way to the back tasting room and proceeded to try the many wines available. There were some very interesting varietals that had different tastes from the traditional grapes. Unfortunately, my wife and I didn't like most of those styles of wine, but we did end up picking up a great bottle of Bootleg Port. Ultimately, the tasting was still very nice and I would definitely recommend this winery for those that like Spanish varietals. read more

Wonderful winery. Off the beaten path and hidden within a more industrial looking complex but wonderful wines, good people and a relaxing tasting room. Give these guys a try when you are in Lodi wine tasting. You will be glad you did. read more

Sunday Wine Day! We we're finishing up breakfast at Michael David and were looking for some wineries in the area that we had never visited it..so we came across St Amant! This little gem is nestled in an industrial area, and had it not been for the American flag waving proudly, we would have missed it..and I am glad we didn't! When we arrived we were greeted warmly, The young man gave the spill about the winery, and we got down to tasting! I really enjoyed the wine's, with my faves being the Mohr-Fry Zin, and the Bootleg Port! Yummo! We were bummed that we couldn't try the Souzão, which was described as "dark, inky, with intense dark fruit aromas mixed with spicy notes," because the remaining bottles were reserved for wine club members. But all in all excellent wine! I snagged a bottle of the Mohr-Fry Zin. The $5 tasting fee was waived with purchase, and we were invited to please come by again. Definitely will be back! read more

The staff is extremely knowledgeable with the wine. We were visiting during Thanksgiving weekend when they were busy, but we were never left alone, the guy and the lady always makes sure we have check on us . The wine is extremely good! If you r into red wine you should check out this winery read more

Wonderful wine, great service and atmosphere. I would always recommend stopping to enjoy a great glass of wine.

Cute little place in the middle of an industrial park, so it's not exactly what we expected when we got there. HOWEVER, great experience from the time we parked until the time we left. When we arrived, they were finishing grape processing and we had a nice conversation with the owner about the process. We then proceeded to the tasting room, where we tasted a white, a rose, several reds, and 2 ports. The server was friendly, informative, and flexible. We found their wines to be tasty and fruit forward - we each bought a bottle of different wines we liked, and hope that we will find more when we get home. Very nice experience! read more

I want to be selfish and not write a review because I don't want the secret to get out about this place. This is my second visit to Lodi and my second time stopping into this small, handcrafted winery tucked away in an industrial park. It's NO FRILLS and that's just fine by me as the wine is AMAZING. Everything from the crisp white Verdelho to the Mohr-Fry Old Vine Zinfandel delight your palette and stand out among all other wineries in Lodi. The bootleg port is also super delicious, and you can't beat the prices on these amazing wines. Everything I tried, I loved, and I bought an entire case and joined the wine club. Adam was our server and he was FABULOUS! He explained all the wines to us and let us revisit our favorites. Outstanding customer service. read more

If you like good wine and friendly people this is the spot. Nathan (I hope I got that right) was very friendly and knowledgeable! He explained each wine and even told us a little back story on the labels. Not to mention he is one of the wine makers! I will definitely be back to revisit all of their wines! Oh yeah tasting was complimentary! read more

Tasting Fee: None Wine: $15-24 (amazing value) Port: $18-35 (another deal) My favorite wines: Barbera 2010, Old Vine ZInfandel (Marian's Vineyard) 2009, and Touriga 2010 Favorite ports: all of them Directions: At the end of turner road, turn left into the industrial complex (past the guard post). Make an immediate right. The winery is little hard to spot, nestled behind some bushes between the G building and the K building but its there. We've tasted at quite a few Lodi wineries (20 +) and I would put these wines easily in the top three. The flavors are not overly complex but nuanced, mature, and velvety smooth, very quintessential lodi wine. They can be drunken by themselves but would be excellent for pairing with food at a dinner party. Moreover, this is THE place in Lodi to go for port. They've been making port since 1980 and have a young port, an aged port, and a delicious tawny port. That tawny ranks right up there with Prager's tawny. Setting: It is in an industrial park but they've done well to make the tasting room feel cosy, especially with the two big cats. The only issue was they were understaffed when we got there (they werent expecting such a turn out). Call ahead if you're planning to come with a big group to give them fair warning and dont plan on this being a quick tasting. read more

I can overlook the warehouse setting if wines are really well done, but here they are above average but not exceptional. If you're looking for atmosphere to go with wine tasting, there's plenty of better choices in Lodi. read more

I love this place. The people are always so friendly and the wines taste delicious. The bootleg port is amazing and super reasonably priced. I will definitely keep coming back! read more

I was not impressed with their operation. They are located in a business center which takes away from the typical personality you want/expect from a winery. They had about eight bottles for tasting and only one (old vine zin) did I find of interest. Ah, yes they had a pricey port that was long term aged that was very good. Why the low rating? Fruit flies. I very much understand that yes they are everywhere and unavoidable in this kind of business but.... There were tons of them, I resorted to placing a napkin over my tasting glass. read more

After visiting three different wineries in Lodi during an afternoon of tastings, St. Amant was my absolute fave. When we pulled in, we first weren't sure we had arrived at the correct place, and then drove right past the entrance before backtracking (it looks like you're almost entering an industrial park of sorts, and the wine tasting room is small). We were all a little skeptical about going in -- except for the bf, who was all for it. It didn't exactly scream "winery" by the looks of it, but he was convinced that, thanks to their cheery red awning, it was legit and we needed to give it a try. So glad he's always adventurous like that... :) haha. They are atypical, nestled out of the way amid several large-scale operations -- and if you're into the "off the beaten path" places, you will fall in love with this tiny winery. We went in and Barbara, the owner, was hanging out inside. She gave us the tastings and a background on the winery and each wine we were tasting. They have some of the oldest vines in California, the mother vine for their zinfandels are over 100 years old -- how cool is that? She was so friendly and informative, we really enjoyed talking to her and trying all the wines. I'm not a sweet wine person, but enjoyed trying some different ports -- the chocolate one is amazing! Many of their wines are award winning, and I was excited to learn some local Atlanta, Ga., liquor stores carry some of their wines. We bought a few bottles to enjoy during our trip and plan to get some from our local carrier soon. If you can catch this place at a quiet time, you'll feel like this is a personal wine tasting just for you and your group. Very quiet and low-key, but also extremely informative (and, of course, delicious!). read more

This winery has some of the few true ports in CA made with Portuguese varietals. While the "tastings"are offered in a warehouse setting, these are some of the best tawny ports I've ever enjoyed at a very fair price. The staff are really nice and take the time to explain their wines and the backgrounds of each. Really worth a visit. read more

St. Amant makes some terrific reds. Their tasting room is in a warehouse complex; not picturesque like the wineries on the west side of 99, but the wines make up for it. read more

All wines are great! I love going to this place. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I love their Bootleg Society labels. Their Tawny Port is a must have. They are located in a warehouse which is crazy to me, but nicely unique. I always have to stop here when I wine taste in LODI. read more

We visited St. Amant yesterday afternoon, Joel was our pourer and showed us a great time. He spent a lot of time explaining each of the wines they offered among other things. St. Amant uses a lot of portuguese varietals and also specialize in Port. We couldn't resist, we had to take a bottle of their port home. Looking forward to visiting St. Amant again. P.s. No tasting fee! read more

Highly recommended for wine geeks. Nice depth to the wines. Wineries like St. Amant will dispel the notion that Lodi produces only bulk wine. I loved the barbera, the zins and the touriga nactional. These tend to be food friendly wines. I was also fortunate enough to taste both the 2012 and 2013 Lodi Native wines. This is a project by six wineries where they use ancient zinfandel vines, neutral oak and native yeasts. Both were excellent and worthy of at last short term cellaring. More savory than fruity. read more
