People do not pass this winery up or you wouldn't know what you're missing. First it's in town surround by warehouses. Small family owned. But the place makes you feel like your tasting wine at a friends home. The son bought the place and is the wine maker. Mom and Dad work the tasting room. Tasting fee is only $10 to try 4 differ wines. And they wave the $10 if you buy a bottle the two of us bought 4 bottles and I didn't see any wine over $28. Remember the building is in where other warehouses are. Try them I don't think you will be disappointed. 10stars!!!! read more

This place is so unsuspecting, but they truly know how to make wine, and create a welcoming environment! From Sacramento, we planned our day thinking of this place as one of those "if we have time" kinda places, yet it ended up being our favorite and the one we happily purchased the most from. I particularly loved the family business aspect and how welcomed they made us feel. Bonus points because my brother loved the chocolate chip cookies, and the popcorn was delicious. We're looking forward to visiting again. If you're in the area, be sure to stop here. read more

I love the ambiance. They have snacks everyday and buffets at allured pick up days. We can't forget the merch too! Gotta have that :) The owners and staff treat each visiter as if they are family. I enjoy dropping by when I'm out and about on weekends. Treat yourself and check out their winery. You won't regret it. I've been a club member for a few years now and always look forward to restocking my wines. Truthfully, I haven't sampled a wine that I did not like. read more

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! read more

We had a great time performing at twisted barrel. Everyone was awesome. Great wine and great folks

Such a wonderful "different type of " winery! The lady that was working was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is beautiful with thoughtful décor that adds to the overall experience. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy some wine--we will definitely be coming back! read more

I wanted to write a really nice review for this winery. It is set in an industrial area and at first we were going to turn around and not go in. I'm sure glad we decided to give them a try. As soon as you walk in you are transformed from cold concrete building to warm, comfortable, friendly, relaxing atmosphere. This was just what we were looking for. Denise was so pleasant and friendly. She made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Now for the wine, my sister and I were both thoroughly shocked that every wine that was presented to us was delightful . Normally, at other wineries, you win some, and you lose some. You don't normally like them all. But this winery is very special. The wine maker definitely has great abilities. I am very sensitive to tannins in the wine. But none of these wines had too much for my pallet .Thank you, Denise and family for a wonderful experience. PS my sister joined on the spot. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

The day we were there, they were having a wine club pick up. They had music, food, and laughter, with the owner's family interacting with guests making sure everyone was having a great time. We were directed to the tasting room where Brock, the winemaker, was pouring the wine and talking about the different varietals and the Spanish style wines they offer. Almost signed up for their wine club membership, but hubby said three memberships are enough. At $58 quarterly for good wine, fun times, and amazing hospitality, it's a steal! read more

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! read more

If you're looking for an off the beaten path wine tasting experience, be sure to check out Twisted Barrel. You won't be sorry. Cheers! read more

Absolutely fabulous experience at Twisted Barrel. Came as strangers, felt like we left as part of an extended family.

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. read more

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! read more

The venue is beautiful inside, and the wine is wonderful, however nothing compares to the friendly vibe you'll get from the joyful couple you'll find in the tasting room. Mark and Denise are absolutely fabulous hosts and hopefully you'll enjoy some gourmet popcorn while you taste their delicious wines. read more

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. read more

Twisted Barrel Winery - Always a must for me. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, California

More and more wineries are moving to Downtown Lodi similar to other cities like Murphys and Sutter Creek. Twisted Barrel moved into their new urban location which is a great option on Pine Street. Street parking is limited, but there are a few lots within walking distance. The interior is great with a large marble tasting bar and several tables. You can also taste at the window looking out on the street. I was able to sample the menu quite easily and found many that were appealing. Their style is more of a Tuesday night wine which is just fine with me! It is nice to see downtown Lodi attracting more options. Twisted Barrel offers an upscale yet comfortable wine experience in a beautiful location. It is tough to give up the parking and view of a rural winery, but this urban wave is encouraging. read more

Twisted Barrel was amazing. They were so welcoming with our family. Other wineries in the area wouldn't let kids into their establishments. This winery was so inviting to the whole family. Megan was spectacular! The wine was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic. Stop by... you won't be disappointed! Excellent customer service! read more

This is a place I will definitely be returning to in the future. The tasting room is somewhere I could come and get some work done with a glass of wine, listening to the music and people in the background. I'd love to be able to stop in when they have live music. Jen and the gentleman whose name I failed to catch (owner I believe) were the two that helped me out today... great customer service. The zin and cab (of course I can't remember the year now) were among my favorite on today's tasting. Looking forward to another visit! read more

Great old town tasting room. Really nice barristers. Merlo is good and has a barrel taste in a great way. read more

Hello Sunshine!!! I went this past Sunday 06/13/21 with my friends from work for a wonderful wine tasting day at Twisted Barrel. And I just have to say this winery is exceptional. We felt like family just coming over for the weekend for drinks and laughs. Gail was such a treat! She served us our tastings perfectly, we never felt like we had to wait for anything because she was on it! I'm definitely going to be bringing my friends and family to Twisted Barrel over these next couple of weeks while they are visiting from the east coast. So what better way to show them some of California than by bringing them to this gem! Thank you again for making us feel so welcomed and the oh the wines of course were delicious! So much so I bought the Grenache, Zinfandel and Petite Syrah. I'm pretty sure I already finished two bottles so now I have to come back for more! Haha Cheers! read more

Incredibly welcoming atmosphere in an industrial section of Lodi California we met the winemaker Brock and his mother who were incredibly accommodating and fun to talk to. We learned a great deal about their wines and all of their wines were fantastic. We ended up having to ship a case home because they were so good! read more

First time in Lodi and I was incredibly surprised at the service and quality of wine here. First, having spent enough time in Napa and Sonoma, it was so incredible to experience wine tasting in Lodi. This place makes some seriously great wine. True to the fruit and not over oaked. I told myself i wouldn't join any clubs out here, but after visiting here I couldn't resist. Super affordable wines, vintner and owner pouring and hanging with you....you just can't beat that experience. My new favorite wine country read more

This place is a absolutely worth a visit. You are always welcomed in warmly. If you are lucky enough to visit with Mark is working you might even be treated to some sips from the barrels. They are a located in an industrial park area of Lodi but don't be fooled by the location you are in for a treat. read more

Fantastic experience! When I drove I was surprised to see it was in an industrial area, I'm so glad we went it! Fantastic wine and even better customer service. The experience was great we became members. Thank you twisted barrel! read more

So amusingly, they weren't on my giant list of places I wanted to hit up while I was in Lodi over the weekend - I didn't even know they were there, I was there in the parking lot to visit McCay next door (bought a groupon), and popped into Twisted Barrel because it was pouring rain and I totally thought it was McCay :D. Glad I did, though - it was great. Super chill, great wines (I especially loved their Symphony, though to be fair, I haven't had a Symphony I *haven't* loved), and added bonus, they had cookies out for our consumption afterwards (as well as the perfect sort of bland cracker that I *really* needed as a palate cleanser after drinking so many big reds that weekend.) read more

Had just over all wonderful experience! They were so friendly! A friend were with joined the wine club because of the hospitality and loves every single wine we tasted! Definitely will be returning and purchasing more wine! read more

This review is an absolute must. I ended up at this Twisted barrel after the Michael David winery comedy special last night. Oh my goodness what a wine tasting room!!! This place is family-owned. When I tell you that they treat you like family... as soon as you walk in the door I am not lying. All the people working there want to stop and talk to you and ask you where you're from. We had such a wonderful conversation last night. I met some of the most greatest people in the WORLD... I am so excited about my new friends. We had a little backyard patio concert that was off the hook. I met people that came down all the way from New York and we're out here enjoying it. We all talked Loud, sang, drank wine and shared stories. It was an incredible experience. This is definitely my weekend spot although I do live in Sacramento it does not matter. I'm loving the wine culture of Lodi so much. As a Realtor I am really thinking about making that move. I had a blast. Oh and the wine is exquisite. So many aged bottles. And their winetasting is so inexpensive. Of course I had to join their club.!! read more

This place had a great vibe w/ live music. However, I did not like any of the wines they had. They were all very light, without much flavor to them. When my parents and I wanted to pay and leave after our tasting, we were told it was complimentary since we did not find any wine we liked. Obviously, we were surprised. They gave us two passes for 2 more wine tastings as well. This place really goes above and beyond for service. read more

We had the best experience here. Jessica was the best. Super friendly. We walked in starving and she recommended the Mexican restaurant next door who delivered the food to us. Poured a list full of wines and we LOVED them all. I loved them so much that I canceled my other wine membership and joined Twisted Barrel. Can't wait to get my shipment. Family owned. We met grandma who does all the marketing and social media - love it!! Look forward to coming back! read more

We had so much fun here! They are brand new, but very experienced. The Syrah is delicious. When we showed up Sunday at 4, they had live music and then the pizza arrived. Clearly, this is about their passion for wine, and you can feel the vibe. read more

Twisted Barrel Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, California

This is mine and my husbands favorite tasting room in downtown Lodi! Everyone there, especially Jessica, goes out of their way to make sure we are happy and always give us and everyone else awesome customer service . They have fun events frequently like paint nights, yoga classes, wine and cheese pairings and live music almost every weekend. They have a nice patio area in the back and offer a killer meat and cheese plate and also have food at almost every event. My favorite wine is the Symphony and being a member means I can have FREE glass of it every time I come in! Stop by and see for yourself ! read more

My favorite place to chill with a great glass of wine. The prices are so reasonable and the staff are really friendly. They really do treat you like family. Maxine, the Winemaker's mother is the sweetest. Jen, Alyssa, Tracy and Mary Lou are also wonderful. If you love red wine, this place is a must! Although set in an industrial area, that is all part of the laid back personality of Twisted Barrel. They have live music and host a lot of great club parties. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST WHEN YOU VISIT LODI!! read more
