Drava Wines

My husband and I have been all over the Lodi wine region and no matter where else we go, we always come back to Drava when it comes to the actual wines. If you don't care what the wine tastes like and you are only looking for a pretty tasting room, maybe they're not for you. But if you care what the wine tastes like and you want to take home bottles of delicious wine that you can enjoy for years to come, there's nowhere within a 50 mile radius that even comes close. Beyond fantastic.

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

Fantastic winery, fantastic wine and a fantastic experience for our guests. We launched Destination Drivers wine tours in Lodi in 2019 and Drava was one of the first wineries we visited. William and Steven, brothers & co-owners of Drava Wines were warm and welcoming from the start. Although their winery isn't in an upscale building in the middle of a vineyard, EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER that we have taken there has been thrilled with the wine and has purchased. That's the sign right there - they put their money where their mouth is, and that is why we recommend Drava again and again.Also important for us is that all our guests loved the experience with William, who runs the tasting room and shares information about the winemaking process, the varietals that they use and why, and just his abundant knowledge of the world due to many years traveling the globe. I have spent 30 years operating tours around the world and my number one priority is always what is in the client's best interest. That's why I highly recommend Drava to anyone, experienced connoisseur or wine novice. You will not be disappointed and it's an opportunity to be part of and support a growing business that will undoubtedly continue to win awards and impress clients for decades to come.

Amazing. Ask for Steve. Thank me later. Very fun ask him anything and be amazed of all the knowledge you will gain and love that is put in to make such fine beverages.

These are wonderful wines - concentrated, complex and thoughtfully constructed. Very special and well worth seeking out.

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.

Great wine. A pleasant winery to visit being from out of town. Owner was respectful and welcoming to us. Thank you.

Went for the wine and chocolate festival, waited in line for 20 minutes for the grilled chocolate sandwiches they advertised. Steve served the person in front of me and the. Took his next sandwich inside to someone who wasn't even in line. I left. It just felt really rude. The rose was lovely. Just a bad experience for a festival event. You have to honor the line. Bad juju.

Don't let the warehouse ambiance deter you from trying the wines. Drava wines are small production and made with passion. What you buy now will be different next year. We're happy to have found this hidden gem in Lodi and plan to return - already returned twice in less than a month to stock up.

We were up in Northern California again to ski at Tahoe, and couldn't miss our favorite winery. We visited with William and got the chance to try some of the other wines. All were spectacular and we had a wonderful time chatting as well. Drava Wines is a must for any trip in the Lodi area.
