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.

We stood 6+ people deep line of customers waiting to be acknowledged. There were a lot of other employees working... walking past us and chilling.

We ultimately had a good time and Sophia was good to us at the bar. As a student & ptomoter of "efficiency" & "customer service", i would love to impart some wisdom in these areas, to help your business thrive. Good & tasty products!

The grounds, buildings and tasting room are beautiful, a sophisticated rustic cabin appeal with manicured landscaping and a craftsman style main building. We stood at the main tasting bar to try four wines. The Chardonnay and especially fhe old vine Zinfandel stood out as excellent to us and we ended up getting some bottles. 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.

Even though there were a lot of people it didn't feel overly crowded because of the amount of spaces available for people to enjoy their food and wine at. For us we came here mostly for the wine because our friends were members and they had always talked about how much they like the wine and grounds here. I could definitely see why they chose to be members of this place and I was so happy to have an afternoon with them here. The wine that we got the Sauvignon Blanc was definitely refreshing as it was a very hot day and even though we had a red not going to lie we put it on ice just for a little bit to get a little bit cooler and that definitely made it even more enjoyable. I am eager to go back and check out some of the other events and wines at this location.

I had the huevos rancheros. Its not the usual dish that was made the same way. The cafe had jams and pies to sell. Then i went outside to check out the backyard. It was such a lovely and impressive outdoor space with water falls, wine vineyards, chickens, playgrounds, ponds, flowers and bathrooms. Then the wine tasting had an array of bottles. Of course, the freakshow is my fav label! But then there was the inkblot!

We decided to wander into the tasting room to see what Jeremy Wine Co. had to offer, and I was pleasantly surprised by every wine I tasted. Their crisp white wine paired perfectly with the pizza. During my next visit to the Lodi tasting room, I was warmly greeted by Jordan, who offered me a tasting and provided excellent recommendations. I ended up purchasing a glass and relaxing in the inviting atmosphere. On my most recent visit, the tasting room was busy--which is no surprise given the quality of their wines and wonderful service. Thanks to Jordan's recommendations and consistently great experiences, I decided to join the wine club! I'm already looking forward to the next quarterly release. I truly enjoy the welcoming staff, friendly patrons, and overall atmosphere. Jeremy Wine Co. has quickly become one of my favorite places!

My wife loved the blend...not too sweet...not to tart...just right. They also have a program called ZIN Lab where you can create your own special blend and bottle with custom labels. Not usually a fan of "Box" wines but their "Screw Corkscrews" box is good and was on special...so we had to import a box back home. Jeremy earned their five star rating because there is nothing they could have done better, great facility, great staff and great wine, great experience.

We found out about Van Ruiten while attending the 2026 Lodi Grape Festival. The owner was so friendly and was pouring their new Sparkling Rose and Blanc De Blanc. When we arrived at the winery, they had a good amount of people inside and outside but there was still plenty of seating for either option. The interior is lovely with a beautiful scenic painting on the left wall. They sell cute Knickknacks for your home as well. We ordered a bottle of the sparkling Rose and set out on the patio to enjoy some bubbles under the shade. I love the way they have the vines growing above you in the patio area, it was so beautiful. There was a family having a picnic, so it appears to be perfect for large groups as well. Overall It was a nice experience and will for sure be back again. Would love to see them add a brut to the collection and maybe offer a sparkling wine tasting flight as they only offer a still wine tasting currently.

Most recently we were on our way to one of our favorites when we saw a sign for Viaggio. We decided to pull over and try it out, and boy am I glad we did as we have just found a new favorite. Viaggio has one of the most beautiful grounds I have seen in the area. From the moment you arrive they have a walkway that gives a feeling of New Orleans bourbon street. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. They serve charcuterie, snacks, wood grilled pizza and even saw sushi on our trip. The staff were super friendly and let us try their sparkling before committing to a bottle. The sparkling was crisp with flavor notes of apple and lemon. We wound up ordering a bottle and enjoying it on the patio while we listened to their live music. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and we even saw a wedding party celebrating and taking photos. Highly recommend you add this one to your list when doing a Lodi trip.

I came here for a birthday celebration and the celebration and being with friends was great!…read more The venue is beautiful and you can walk around and tour it freely. There was a lot of people in and out of the venue, so it wasn't hard to find a seat. There isn't a ton of shade provided in their entertainment area, so if you come on a hotter and warmer day, bring a hat! The band that they had was amazing! They were so friendly and fun, and knew how to engage with the crowd well! The selection of wines to pick from are slim and they don't come with a lot of descriptions either. The service is somewhat on the slower side as well, and the lines can get really long. I would recommend just getting a few bottles to share with your company instead of always having to go back and wait more than 10-15 minutes in the lines. The food is fast and doesn't seem to be made fresh. Moreso on the side of frozen foods, so don't come too hungry!
