    A little bubbly, why not??
    Anetra T.

    My friend Nadia has a membership at this beautiful winery! Right off the jump we were greeted with big smiles! It's always a beautiful family vibe at Twisted Barrel. The wines pair so well and at the end the bubbly made our visit extra nice! The mini charcuterie plates were a hit song with the various popcorn selections! This place in Lodi is a must try!

    If you're looking for great wine and a family friendly atmosphere...THIS is the place to go. The wine is delicious. The owners are the sweetest. Go here. Trust me. You won't regret it.

    This is a little slice of America. Their opening day was awesome lots of food good music and really nice people. A lot of the people seem to know each other. Good family feel here. The wines were really excellent I like the Alicante. Will be returning here in the future.

    My friends and I had the best experience here yesterday! We did 4 wineries in Lodi and this was our last. I initially was not going to wine taste here, but man I was in for a treat! The winery is located in an industrial business area which doesn't look too appealing, but believe me it's worth it! When you walk in, it looks small, there is the checkout and we were impressed by the free popcorn stand. We were a little late, got there at 405 and they close at 5, but still seated promptly and welcomed. It is all tables inside with a cozy homey vibe. Denise, the owner came over and gave us this amazing charcuterie board (see photos) and said it was for us. We thought it was a mistake and double checked, but she said it wasn't and that was free with tasting!!! It was one of the best charcuterie boards Ive had and she easily could have charged $75 for that. It was perfect because we were hungry, but also great quality with smoked salmon, 4 cheeses, gooseberries, pickled asparagus, honeycomb- just all kinds of amazing things! I've been to a ton of wineries and never seen something like this given out. Brock, the son of Denise was super friendly and explained all the wines and background of this family winery to us! He was gracious and welcoming! All bottles are $23 and 2 of us joined so they didn't charge us tasting fees. Their Barbera was sold out, but I need to go back to try it! All their wines were tasty and paired well. This was such a great experience, go check them out!!

    Such a great vibe, so homey. Owners are so nice and welcoming. Popcorn and bake goods were available to enjoy at no cost and wines were really good! Will definitely be back!

    Absolutely fabulous experience at Twisted Barrel. Came as strangers, felt like we left as part of an extended family. Wines were tasty, hospitality was outstanding and the recommendations for other wineries to visit in the Lodi area were spot on. Highly recommend Twisted Barrel if you're in the Lodi area.

    My family and I stopped in a few days ago. First timers though I've passed by many times. The two ladies that helped us were so pleasant and fun. It's beautiful inside the little tasting room. The barrel walls are so cool! We tasted the Barbera and Sangiovese since they were having a super good deal on a half/half case. We ended up getting a case. They're delicious everyday wines. I poured a couple of the bottles that night for a private event and had great reviews on it. I gave their cards out and recommended they go in.

    Very nice place for wine tasting. Service was great. We called 5 minutes before arriving and they were happy to have us.

    Twisted Barrel is located in a parking lot with commercial building units so parking is plentiful. They're currently tasting outside in the parking lot and they make do with what they have. Wines are solidly pleasant and very reasonable priced. Staff was friendly and helpful. Most people go home with a case of wine since there's a deep discount for a case sale. Give it a try!

    Always a must for me.
    Debi R.

    This is my favorite stop in Lodi by far. The delicious varietals offered here are amazing. I looked all over for a good Sangiovese in the area and successfully found the most delicious one I've ever had! What's even better is the laid back feel of the environment and staff. Jessica is our favorite when we visit. She's always ready to chat and makes you feel like family. This small family owned winery has an awesome back story. Stop in sometime and discover why they are growing so quickly. You will not be disappointed.

The winery grounds are stunning, with plenty of seating areas to relax, enjoy wine, and take in the scenery. It truly feels like an all-in-one destination--they have a winery, café, bistro, and even a shop where you can pick up snacks and local goods. Everything is thoughtfully designed so you can spend the entire day there without needing to leave. The bakery selection was a highlight. They had an impressive variety, from full-size pies to single slices, along with cookies and brownies. The apricot items stood out during our visit, and the chocolate chip cookies and brownies were especially delicious. The persimmon cookie was unique and unforgettable. For food, a barbecue food truck was catering the pickup party. The burger they served was fantastic, and the brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It came with a really good potato salad and fresh watermelon that paired perfectly with the winery's reds. Our favorite wine of the day was the Earthquake red--bold, rich, and perfect with the heavier foods. There was also live music, perfect weather, and a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and everything was clean and well maintained. The gardens were in full bloom, offering beautiful photo spots--especially the sunflowers and fountains scattered throughout the property. Overall, it's the kind of place you can spend an entire day at--starting with a morning visit and easily staying through lunch and into the late afternoon. Whether you go as a couple, with friends, or a larger group, it's a perfect weekend destination for wine, food, and relaxation. Can't wait for the next pick up! :)

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the night.

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.

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 .

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 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.

In addition to the olive oil tasting set, there were some brunch items such as a crostini and salad as well as a Mediterranean plate with hummus. We opted for the crostini, olive oil tasting and a cappuccino. The jalapeño olive oil was unique and flavorful enough that we bought a couple bottles of it to take home. The pear vinaigrette was thick and tangy. The waitresses were friendly and helpful when we had a couple questions about the dishes. The shelves in the shop area is full of flavored olive oils and vinaigrette as well as ceramic and a whole slew of items for serving charcuterie.
