Rippey at Lodi Vintners

What a beautiful winery! Heather was amazing she was knowledgeable and knows her wines and pleasantly served about 6 people during my wine tasting experience and it went well! She allowed us to roam the winery as we tasted. She even personally showed us their reserve room for 10 people which was a nice private area. for $15 dollars you can have about 5-6 tastings. She even let us try two petite sirah a Napa and Lodi one. To see which one we liked I of course enjoyed the Napa one and purchased it. My fav was there cab and Sauvignon Blanc! It was so pleasant here I end up becoming a member! I was also told on Friday nights they have something from 6-9pm. I'll have to come and check it out!

Cute, quaint, and off the beaten path. If you're looking for low key casual vibes, then Lodi Vintners is definitely the place for it. Came here with the ladies during our Lodi wine tasting trip last year and we really enjoyed ourselves. Lodi Vintners is one of only a few wineries that are actually open at 10 am on the weekends. Because us gals like to have our wine for breakfast (don't be judging)! But really, we just wanted to squeeze one more winery visit in for the day and the morning worked best for that. The tasting room at Lodi Vintners is located off the beaten path. It's right near the railroad and offers some beautiful views of both their vineyards and the railroad tracks. Since this part of town isn't as bustling, there's this wonderful peaceful element that's so relaxing here. We were the only party there during most of our tasting (probably because we got there so early).Parking is easy and ample. They have an adorable shaded patio deck with comfy seating. There's a nice breeze that settles in from the railroad tracks which is perfect given that this area gets pretty warm. Tasting flights are pre-poured and feature 4 tastes of your choice off of their extensive wine list. It's $10 for a taste of their family wines and $15 for a taste of their award winning wines. The tasting fee is waived with a purchase of a $20 charcuterie box. They also require reservations. They welcomed us with a splash of their brut sparkling which was actually extremely tasty. I chose one white wine and 3 reds for my tasting flight. I enjoyed their red wines more than the white wine (I tasted their Chenin Blanc).Overall, the wines were good for the price. My favorite was their crossing red blend which was fuller bodied and richer than the other reds that I tried. I was surprised at how light their Zinfandel was. If I didn't know beforehand that it was Zin, li would have easily thought it was a Pinot. That's how light it was. Wasn't a huge fan of this, but a few of my friends enjoyed it. Did not get the name of the lady who poured our flights and assisted us but she was very attentive even though our flights were pre-poured. All in all, we enjoyed our time here. I would come back with the ladies again for a more relaxed tasting experience.

Excellent wines. Fun and knowledgeable staff.Easy to find and plenty of parking. Beautiful picnic area.

I was recommended to come here from a coworker. I finally made an an appointment a couple months later and brought my mom with me for the tatsting. Dennis and Brooke hosted my mom and I. It was a fabulous experience. The reds are delicious. I had such an amzing experience, I joined the winery. My Aunt came to visit from out of state as well as my sister with family from Orange County in late September. I made an appointment for all of us to do a flight tatsting. I also needed to pick-up my wine. Mava hosted us. It was nice since we were the only group tatsting during that housr we were there. We definitely got first class service. Mava was awesome. I ended up purchasing more wine for my Aunt so she could bring back to TN and share with her family. The winery also, have a nice dry brut sparkling wine, a delicious balsamic vinegar U highly recommend trying out.

This place on the inside was very modern, you can tell they spent a lot of money making this place very nice. I loved that they had little knick knacks you could buy, I bought this rooster topper for a wine bottle for my MIL, very unique cute stuff. Also their wines were very smooth. they didn't rush you, but also didn't give you too much info on the wines either, which I personally liked LOL, sometimes you are overwhelmed with info, but they would tell you if you asked, so that was nice! We also had lunch below and that was a spacious room with nice decor and a beautiful view.

Some local friends took us wine tasting to Lodi Vintners while we were visiting. As soon as we walked in, the server Mava barked at us about reservations and that we needed to stand outside with our masks and she'd "be with us eventually"... I don't know if she was entertaining her friends or just overwhelmed by the 6 people in the establishment, but the dog sitting at the bar was treated better than us P.O.C. (People of color) seemed to be treated. Very unexpected while we're coming out of pandemic they'd be very welcoming to our money at their establishment. Oh well, on to the next one. Cheers!

It was 4:30, on a hot Saturday afternoon, the tasting room was closing at 5:00. We rushed over & had no time to spare but the tasting room manager was gracious enough to allow us to taste several wines, and long story short, we ended up with a case of wine! We were there the previous weekend for a birthday party and I fell in love with their moscato. Highly recommend sliding Vinters!

Some friends came down to Lodi to wine taste took them to Lodi vintners all I have to say the customer service is horrible This woman named mava treated us like crap she was rude and not friendly at all I will definitely tell all my friends not to go there. We felt that we were not welcome idk if it was bc of our skin color or bc she was overwhelmed. Btw was only 4 people in there. The dog at the bar got better service than we did.

We were cruising around Lodi with our dogs and found Lodi Vintners from BringFido.com. WONDERFUL place!! My favorite is the Concrete Zin!! Besides the wine being great, the staff are so kind to pups. Everyone came out of their office to come greet, treat, and pet our pups. It was a hot day so our boys liked the AC and cold floors of the tasting room. The grounds are a great area to walk around with your pups too! We ended up joining the wine club that day and later went to our first event there (Lobster Boil)! DELICIOUS. Got to meet other members who were so fun and kind!

While tasting at Lodi Vintners/Rippey family winery we were welcomed by smiles of two friendly and informative workers. It's a comfortable atmosphere where you feel like you've known them like old friends. Each person knew tasting notes and recommended pairings with wines as the poured and even gave us little tastings of things they sold in the shop. I don't know if this is a regular occurrence but we enjoyed it and felt like it was a special treat. Highly recommend for anyone in the area. Dennis was professional and friendly. Even other patrons were friendly. Had a great time.
