Heritage Oak Winery

Wine tasting was not on the menu today but here we are.... The winery itself is tucked deep within the many vineyards of Lodi. It's a very simple and inviting winery. Very bird-friendly; you can hear the birds chirping away. I love it! They have bird houses and hummingbird feeders hanging throughout the trees. The service was wonderful. Very friendly and social--which I love to see at wineries. Their wines are very good. I'm not a big fan of white wines, but I figured I'd try their white and rosé wines. I'll try their red blends the next time we visit. With that being said, I recommend their wines and if you are able to, I would definitely go visit their winery so you can enjoy their wines while relaxing and listening to the birds.

Day 3 Stop 4Preface: We stopped in on a day when a fund raiser for the school system in Lodi was going on with their silent auctions, live music and entertainment. Heritage Oak Winery is a family run vineyard and winery. The property is aligned with a river I think leaving an all day affair at Heritage a good excursion. OK! No oak tree! BUT they do have a fig tree shaped to give you shade in the day where at least half a dozen picnic tables are situated. You can eat your snacks and taste your wines under this fig tree and if your timing works, you can pick the fig and take them with you OR eat them right there. During our visit, the owner passed and offered little shopping bags if you wanted to pick and take the fig with you. How sweet is that?I have my eye on this place as I understand they are great for activities albeit their own or events that support the community.Oh, Yelpers! don't forget to check in for your 10% discount

We did a night with Harvest Host. This winery spoils you with their spots to camp for a night! Service, wines, the wine maker played the piano while we tasted, and you can walk with a glass of wine down to the river. I highly recommend this place!

The old foreign lady with the accent is the biggest Karen in the world. We're sitting outside under the fig tree and she tells us we have to smoke "outside of the fig tree". But we're already outside. Also she told me I had to watch my language? SMD. I thought this was America. Won't be back. Karen city. All the other people were awesome though.

Hailey and Tom are wonderful. Dog friendly. Great variety of wines. So fun! Stayed late for us. Won't regret it!

This was the first winery we tried in the Lodi area this Saturday October 16th celebrating our anniversary. We tasted outside and the service was ok. Maybe they thought that this was our first time wine tasting, but we mistakenly believed that the galvanized bucket they provided the wines in was a dump bucket, as other wineries usually bring the dump bucket along with the wines for a flight. When she came back when we were done, she was furious and loudly said we should have told her we needed a dump bucket and stayed mad at us not making contact, but kept having this mad face. Was so not impressed with that type of service. Not going to say who it was, since that person will know by hopefully reading this review and hopefully change her attitude and next time specify to people so there are no issues. Nothing really stood out to us at this one, but we bought a few bottles of what we kind of liked, like their Malbec. Their wines are really earthy and some people like that but we don't because to us they kind of tasted all the same. The young woman who helped us with our purchase was nice and congratulated us.Needless to say though, the experience with the other woman was about to ruin our experience in the Lodi area, but every single winery we hit after this first one was a hit! Everyone was kind and wines were great at those places. Who knows, maybe that lady was having a bad day or something even though she was real friendly at first until the great wine incident of 2021 happened!

Oh my, my friends came to visit from Oregon and Heritage Oak was our 1st stop. Quaint cute winery, beautiful hummingbirds and canaries everywhere so fun. We loved the Chardonnay and the seating area was comfortable, the owners came out and visited, the servers were awesome! Highly recommend

A lovely comfortable setting. Friendly owners and staff. Good wine! I like that you can bring your own snacks, though they have food available as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there!

The wine is delicious, the setting is peaceful, the owners are welcoming and knowledgeable.

Great mom and pop boutique winery. I really liked the "pour your own" wine tasting flight--you can take your time enjoying wines at your own pace on the outside patio. I tried all the local reds and they were all spectacular. Note that this is a truly family run business and they close promptly at 5pm, so plan ahead!
