"Love love love adkins!! They were so accommodating for our last minute big party. A friend of mine also got the membership because of how much she loved it when I brought her last time. Of course most of us got the burger, and a few bottles of the sparkling peach. Those are the best things on the menu next to the chocolate tasting. Bottle prices are very reasonable, especially with the membership! Will always be back! Vibe was very nice, especially in the outdoor area.Thank you so much Adriana and the rest of Adkin's staff for taking care of us!"
"Highly recommend this winery . Atmosphere felt very homey and personable . Our server was very friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the wine and the grounds . Their gardener was there the day we went and was very friendly in fact he let us grab a clipping from his succulent plants and we watched as he showed kids that were there with their family around the orchard . Our server gave us complimentary olives with our wine which were nothing short of amazing so good and flavorful. I asked if I could buy a jar but unfortunately they weren't for sale . If you haven't stopped by this winery it's a must ."
"next stop on my Lodi Wine Tasting tour....I absolutely love the design and ambiance of this little spot. Snuggled next to fellow wine tasting rooms, my favorite cheese shop, eclectic antique stores and more is this open and airy brick and beam bar. A small sitting area by the front door and a few round tables toward the back invite you to kick back and enjoy a drink and some friendly conversation.On this chilly Sunday afternoon, we entered and approached the bar. The lone bartender was engaged in lively banter with 4 other guests which was easily deduced were regulars. She greeted us and explained the menu, to which only 2 of us decided to partake. We were on our second sample when the guys at the end of the bar began chanting for the bubbly. Turns out the gal next to us had wished to sample the champagne blanc de blanc but the bartender was hesitant to open a bottle just for one taste, so with a show of hands from all those at the bar, we were treated to a special off-menu sample. What a treat! That goes to show great friendly service. She was able to answer our questions about some samples and I ended up purchasing a very nice bottle of Incognito Blanc.Ambiance: warm and invitingService: helpful and friendlyPrice: great value"
"This is the best winery in Lodi. Steve the winemaker is the best host. Please visit, best customer service in an intimate, low key setting. The reds are amazing! The red wine makes you starving for a nice juicy steak"
"Sunday impromptu wine tasting. Bokisch vineyards is a beautiful place set in the Lockeford rolling hills. I'm a novice wine taster so I wanted to check out their menu. I ended up choosing a bottle of their petit Verdot... what a wonderful wine! Very berry with a clean finish and no aftertaste (what I call bite). The wifey and I enjoyed their patio area dressed with pumpkins and harvest decorations. They actually have an award winning pumpkin from this season ! The service was knowledgeable, energetic and all around nice ! I will definitely be purchasing more of their wines as well as returning for the ambiance. Thanks Bokisch !"
"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!"
"Love that there are so many different things to taste... wine, sangria, slushies, cider.... I love that we can bring our food and snacks too. I love the sparkly Pinot, love a few of the reds and I really like the white sangria hahaha.... Service is great - Benita is awesome she's so sweet and fun to talk too... I'm now a member"
"Our 1st time visiting the winery & had a great time there. The tasting room is inside the barn that's decorated in a wooden farmhouse style that you feel very comfortable in. $25 for wine tasting & you get to try 4 wines. We also ordered some crackers, cheese & hummus thinking they will come out in bowls or plates but they all came out in store packages instead. Our server, Katie explained that they don't really prepare food there.The snacks went pretty well with the wine Katie recommended for us. She's a doll!!! You can bring your own snacks there, they don't mind. We also went for a walk outside & the place is gorgeous! I can sit there relaxing & sipping wine all day long..."
"Got the chance to visit this winery which I never knew about until a friend mentioned it. They are a stone's throw away from her house and we all were equally shocked about this little hidden gem. I never knew this winery existed until she told us about this place. Upon arrival, we passed by an ostrich farm and taken down a small road which we thought Google was going to lead us astray. As we arrived, it felt like were taken away to a lovely countryside oasis out to Lodi or Napa. My friend made a reservation for 3 but only 2 of us were tasting (one of our friends was expecting so no tasting for her). Both my friend and I chose the mixed red and white wine (classic) flights. I'm more of a white wine person than red and having a varied mix is great. The other wine flight option (gold) appears to only be red. We started off with an almond champagne from Lodi. I love almond champagne! Enjoyed most of the wines offered in the wine flight but what really surprised me was the Malbec. It is a red wine and was my absolute favorite of the entire flight which had cherry notes. My least favorite was the Vermentino which was supposed to have a fruity floral note but was bitter and had an off taste to it. However, that's just me and my tongue. I wish they had an option of a bucket for when visitors don't like a certain wine in the flight, that we can just empty out to or a chance to wash our glasses with water in between tastings. The winery was pretty busy and is a great place to escape to without traveling too far away from home. They do have options for wine purchase and the ostriches made an appearance (albeit on a lunch pail)! The winery is also a beautiful lot for options of a wedding as well. They also have special events happening in June. If you're in the area or live close by, check out this hidden gem if you haven't already done so!"
"My friend and I had the sangria and it was very refreshing, service was great and ambience is perfect , we sipped on our drinks indoor since it was a little cold outside. We will definitely be coming back again."
"This was my first time ever being here. My partner and I attended a "date night" promotion. The food was absolutely delicious. The "deal" we got came with a charcuterie board and a pesto chicken. I do t remember the type of wine but for us wine beginners it was a wine that we enjoyed. Everyone was very nice to work with from buying the tickets to getting our food. On a day it was near 100 degrees they had seating inside a massive refrigerator. It was a great experience and we look forward to to another "date night" with them..."
"If you are looking for a great place for all around this is your place! I ordered an 8in x 8in Charcuterie Board to go for a date night in and I cannot reccomend it enough! Thank you for a wonderful experience"

Awesome little winery in Elk Grove!Being so close to so many locations for wine, I never thought I could stay in town and find a great locally owned winery. The owners also own their own solar company and Sheldon Inn next door.Visited with the lovely wife this past week as we've heard about of good things about this place. The result? We ended up getting quite a few classes and joined their wine club.Our server was great and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the wine and engaged. Not only was the service great but also it had a great location with lots of different areas to sit. After drinking the entire menu, we tried a little of the menu with the lobster rolls. Was an awesome choice and really see myself coming here more often!

What a beautiful place to go for a wine tasting! All of the wines are well balanced, and outstanding. The existing tasting room, outdoor areas and store is beautiful - with a friendly atmosphere. The work they're putting into the new wine tasting building and outdoor patio is so elegant - I think I found a possible venue for my son's upcoming wedding this fall!

Their phone number doesn't work and the hours on the website are different than the hours on their Facebook page which are different than the hours on Yelp and those are different than the hours posted on the door.And the manager doesn't know how to work the TV!They've got a mess to clean up.

Drava Wines is one of the newer wineries in Lodi, done in the new industrial style - similar to a hip new brewery instead of a lavish country winery. This setting allows the owner to offer a more accessible wine experience along Turner Road east of 99 in the industrial park area housing several other urban wineries.You will learn a lot about Slovenia while enjoying your wine tasting. William has many stories about his time there and the history of the winery that compliment his classic Lodi varietals. The focus is on several French grapes with a wonderful Merlot based Bordeaux blend with another great story. The tasting room is fairly basic with LOTS of Slovenian and Croatian memorabilia.This is another fun addition to the Lodi wine scene, especially for visitors looking for something a bit different. Drava Wines lacks the lush environment of most Lodi wineries, but this is a fun place that will still leave you with an enjoyable experience.

What an excellent winery! We came here for mother's day and we were surprised to find out how much space there was. They had a mother's day picnic event going on while we were there but they had it further out in the lawn area which opened up the main area for us - a great use of the space without having it be overcrowded that day. The staff was super friendly, accommodating, not stressed out despite the mothers day event going on, and they seemed to enjoy interacting with the customers. It was fairly hot the day we went but there was plenty of shade and umbrellas. The main lawn area has incredible views of the vineyard. Clean, indoor bathrooms! We didn't try the food but it seemed like they had a charcuterie selection to choose from. We will definitely be coming back!

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.

Family friendly and knowledgeable staff members. Perfect place to bring my dad for Father's Day! It's $10 for tasting with no reservation and about $25 for a giant charcuterie board. Definitely stopping by here again after our next camping trip to Lake Camache.

Gorgeous place. I can't say enough about how beautiful the grounds are. The drive to Silt is gorgeous too. Love the winding road, and I actually don't mind the ocasional bike riders on the road that slow my drive to Silt...that's how gorgeous the street to get there is. The tasting room itself is spacious. There's a couple of different rooms, and there's no bad seating area. The quality of wine is impressive. My sisters, my partner and I have different love of wines, and we all agreed these wines are solid! Some like certain wines more than others, but we all left enjoying our tasting...so much so we became wine club members! Some of our faves: Sparkling Chenin Blanc, 2019 Pinot Noir, 2021 Rose of Valdiguie, and my personal favorite, 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. I do have to say, please bring your patience...by no means is the service bad, they just don't come around as often as one likes when in a time crunch. I wouldn't come here first if you have another appointment. They do have yummy snacks, even vegan snacks, so you won't become Hangry, but if you have plans, just give yourself enough time so not to ruin this beautiful place and wine. To me, it's worth it, as I can enjoy my time with my family, and the view, as they take their time.

"Beautiful view, great wine, lovely service and such a relaxing atmosphere. It's great to see families and their dogs enjoying the grounds too. I've taken a few people there and I've had no complaints. If anything, those who live near by (I live in Sac) are wondering why I'm the one introducing them to a winery closer to them!"
"Highly recommend visiting here. Rosie the winemaker is there often to talk about the wines and share her knowledge and views/approach towards some wines that are genuinely very tasty and well priced. I have family in the industry and can say that they tend to be very snobby about whats in that glass at times and these Fierro wines did not disappoint them. And while whats in the bottle is more important than what is on the bottle I'd recommend asking about her labels for a fun/unique take on take on them.There are a couple other wine makers here as well so it makes it a great place to do a tasting day without the hassle of driving all over the place."
"Beautiful, tranquil scenery awaits at this wonderful vineyard! We stopped by after hiking at Cronan Ranch Regional Park five minutes down the road. It was late afternoon when we arrived and the sun was already hanging low, getting ready to set. We got to enjoy the afternoon glow while tasting several of their reds. I purchased a bottle of Rose and Zinfandel to enjoy back at our Airbnb. The sommelier was friendly and personable and let us taste a few extra bottles that she had opened. Can't wait to visit again!"
"Came here for a private event. This place is awesome. Great wine. Surroundings are unlike any other tasting room or winery. Just an all around fun spot to be with friends and enjoy some good wines. The owners are some of the friendliest people I have met. Will be back soon."
"We tried a flight of ciders at this location and had a great time. The flavors rotate frequently, but in general are more balanced than some that you can purchase at your local supermarket. You are also able to bring your own food or buy some from the food truck. The atmosphere is lively and homey at the same time, with plenty of outside seating available. The workers were really friendly and easy to strike a conversation with.Overall, a pleasant experience and worth visiting again in the future."
"Julie who runs the tasting room is so warm and welcoming, and has been part of this winery's journey since the early days so she can share a lot of history. She even brought out Gouda, their black fluffy winery kitty!We did a regular and a reserve tasting so we could try everything. The Reserve tasting in particular was really fun, with very interesting takes on sparkling wines. Prices for these wines at this quality are insanely low - we took home 3 bottles of the Grand Cuvee (which was our favorite).I would consider this a "can't miss" winery stop in Lodi! We look forward to returning."
"We went here recently for a country performance, and had a great time. They have the parking really dialed in with employees guiding you where to go. It's a huge winery! For the concert, they had a bbq food truck on site and inside, some wines available by the glass or bottle. Service was quick and friendly, and the concert was the awesome. I think the owners were there too and they seemed really involved and passionate about it, which we loved.Definitely recommend coming here, it's worth the trip!"
"I can not say enough about the amazing experience we had this past Friday. Karen and Pete did a private tasting for my office staff at Basecamp and it was spectacular. Pete's knowledge of wine and his ability to share it was great and Karen's amazing graciousness and warmth made us feel so welcome. Everyone had the best time and had to bring wine home to share for the holidays. The wine is great and they have a variety so everyone can find something they like. We are so grateful for this experience."
"BRING PHILLIP BACK!!! the wines are always amazing. Lauren is a beacon of light in the darkness of winter. Did I mention you need to bring Phillip back???!?!"
"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."
"Had a great time at Velensin. It was our second visit. Staff was very accommodating. Live music under the tent was good. They had one BBQ food vendor. Platters looked enticing, just wasn't in the mood for the platters. Sitting along the shore of the lake was nice and relaxing after a long Friday at work. For sure a nice place to bring in the weekend on a Friday night."
"After being introduced to this place during the yelp event and enjoying it so much I decided to come back with some friends who love wine. My best friends birthday was coming up and she really enjoys her wine as well as all of her friends. They frequent Napa and I wasn't sure if they were aware of this place, so I created an invitation on Facebook and invited them all here for a surprise birthday brunch.The response was really good, many of the girls were surprised this place existed and were anxious to come try it out. I had made reservations for our group and the weather had been kinda iffy the week prior but I was assured either way they would accommodate us indoors or out on patio if possible. The morning of was very nice and we ended up getting a nice table off in the back which they had all set up for us. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for your free glass of wine. The staff took care of our group very well. Drinks were refilled timely (unlimited mimosas was a popular choice) the menu was fabulous and everyone found something they were excited to try. The food was fabulous and thanks to Cabanas I hit a home run with this surprise birthday gathering. I really need to bring hubby back here for brunch and try happy hour one evening."
"Consumnes River Farm was one of several Rest Stops during the 2019 "Best Ride Ever" bike event sponsored by the San Joaquin Bike Coalition. This event ride was both for the 50k and 100k bike ride. Honestly, I would have never known Consumnes River was here so a HUGE thanks to SJ Bike Coalition!I met the owner Jackie Gifford and her husband during my rest stop. She provided tastings for her vinegar specialties, and I really enjoyed her Bellindora brand of vinegars especially the Honey & Ginger which I bought almost a case full. This was a treat for me as I love vinegar because of its beneficial natural health properties. I find a teaspoon of vinegar and a spoonful of honey daily keeps the bugs away.Consumnes River also has a fantastic outdoor patio where I was told by one of San Joaquin Bike Coalition volunteers, you can bring your picnic basket here, and enjoy the local grown wines from Consumnes. You can also RSVP for special events and have your parties catered privately. I will definitely come back and have to try out their home grown wines when I'm not cycling. Cheers!"
"The best wine, beer, and atmosphere in the State. Great place to rent venue for events."
"My initial review is based on customer service alone...I am working on putting together a Spring Design 'Gala' for my company, and I reached out to Garre Vineyard and Winery. I submitted my event requirements to Garre, and requested a quote. Sonia Beasley, the Sales and Marketing Director, responded back to me within the hour! Price points were clear and concise, making it very easy to digest! Sonia, thank you so much for your time! I look forward to speaking with you again in the near future."
"We went in late afternoon on Saturday before closing and met the McKenzies. They were both very nice and allowed us to bring our dog in for tasting (the dog had water given to her). We had a nice conversation and enjoyed their many delicious wines and we ended up buying two bottles.We would definitely recommend them to others! Thank you for a nice experience"
"Wow!!!! What a chic, fun place! The charcuterie board is amazing, and the wine flights amazing! Conversation starters are fun, lively, and provoked thought! This is about to be a weekly spot!"
"This is a cute little store in Patterson, right off of I-5. I've gone several times to buy little gifts for friends. They have an assortment of snacks. Different flavors of almonds, pretzels, jams, wines, oils, etc. My personal favorite is their butter pretzels. Can't. Stop. Eating. Those. Although I've never been to one, they also hold wine tastings. If you have time, you should stop by this cute store."
"Came here with family on a nice Saturday afternoon for a ladies outing. We set up a reservation a couple days prior and were able to get a seating for 6 inside. They were very accommodating as I initially had a booking outside but I mentioned that I want to be waitlisted inside because we have my grandma with us who was sensitive to heat and lo and behold, I get a call about 2 hours after I placed the booking and was contacted by a representative from Calivines indicating that they can get us seated inside to accommodate my grandma. I thought that was so wonderful and thoughtful of them. Now for the food and service. We all ordered an olive oil tasting and a bottle of Riesling for the table. Each tasting came with 2 olive oils, a balsamic vinegar, and almonds along with focaccia bread for dipping. The oils were very flavorful and definitely tasted how they were described. We also ordered pesto cheesy bread which...not going to lie, tasted like it was microwaved. The bread hardened like a microwaved bread would've so for the price we paid, it was not worth it and would definitely not get it again. The Riesling paired nicely with the oils as it cut through that greasy texture and was refreshing. Overall, the place was clean and the server was great but the service could be better as we never got our waters refilled even once. I think this part is an understaffing problem rather than our server (as she was great!), as she was serving almost all of the indoor tables (which were all pretty full at the time of our visit). I would visit this place again."
"I can not rave enough our experience here and the service we received. After to moving to FL a few years ago, we welcomed our sweet baby boy this summer. Ofcourse we hosted a Sip'n'See to have our family and friends meet our little guy. The service was beyond 5 stars. The small bites were all delicious from the cheeses, to the popcorn. The wine was delicious and the kids loved the hot chocolate. We had such and amazing time in such a beautiful place. Huge thank you to the staff and owner for helping make our little reunion so special."
"Concannon was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to go the next day on Monday. We did not have a reservation but got there right when they opened at 1030. On Mondays they have a special, 2 for 1 tasting price, otherwise it is $30/person. Trevor greeted us kindly at the door and was our wine expert throughout the tasting. We sat outside under the pavilion and Trevor told us all about their different wines. There is lots of seating both inside and out. Trevor was very knowledgeable and friendly ! My favorite was the "reserve rose of petite sirah". Can't wait to visit again!"
"WOO GIRL! Cellars is a stunning, artfully curated oasis set amongst the vines with a river running alongside. Proprietress Vivian Valenzuela is a gifted winemaker who creates some of the best rosés and sparkling rosés I've ever tasted -- Provençal wines included!As if that weren't enough of a reason to head to the Lodi valley, she's also a gifted designer and host and has created a fabulous destination for wine tasting, picnicking, and romantic weekend getaways.Bring a picnic and purchase a bottle -- or bottles :) -- of her wine and you can enjoy it in the jasmine and rose-scented garden under the shade of a mature mulberry tree as you listen to her hand-crafted playlists!Book a stay in the stylish, well appointed cottage and enjoy a free tasting and a gorgeous pool. The deck by the river is great for late afternoon sips for couples or groups.This is a destination you won't want to miss and a wine club you'll want to join!"
"Our group stayed in their harvest host area for my husbands 50th birthday Party. We all had a blast and they were so easy to work with."
