Scotto's Wine & Cider

Exploring Lodi with family. We didn't realize Lodi had become a huge winery scene. After visiting a couple of wineries, we visited downtown Lodi. Scotto's caught our attention as they have cider tastings, in addition to wines. Plenty of tables and we found ourselves in a welcoming environment. They have a variety of tasting options - maybe a bit on the pricey side, however. Although I really wanted to try the ciders, I decided to go with the Sparkle & POP tasting instead. Different, and I enjoyed the various cocktails offered. We were happy to find an "alcohol removed" wine tasting since there were some family members who were not drinkers. Comfortable spot, and we enjoyed our time there.

Let's start off with having cotton candy with your bubbly is a must! It's looks cute and is great combination with a sparkling wine or champagne. This wine bar is in downtown Lodi and street parking is your only option. I believe it's 90 mins in most spaces. The host allowed us to taste a couple of wines before we chose and that was very helpful in us deciding. It was as about $12 per glass with the cotton candy. They have plenty of bar and seating options. I definitely will be back soon !

Drinks and service was amazing!!! Kevin was a super friendly and knowledgeable person. We will most definitely be back.

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!

My cousins & I stopped by for a drink during the farmers market. I had a couple samples of different ones they were all yummy. :) the place is super cute and the guy behind the bar was very kind and helpful. Will be back soon!

This place is adorable! I came on a cold December day with some of my best friends to celebrate my birthday. I tried the wild cherry cider which was super tasty and my friend had the mango jalapeño cider which was TO DIE FOR! The jalapeño wasn't overpowering at all. We also had a bottle of red and a bottle of a lemonade type wine which were also delicious. The woman behind the bar came to check on us several times and was very nice. I will definitely be coming back!

This is my favorite place to hangout Love the two ladies that make it special: Janice and Holly. Love the pop up boutiques, the live music, great cider flights, yummy wine.

Excellent service, with knowledgeable staff who thoroughly explained the different beverages available and their features with enthusiasm and a zeal for what they do! It is always amazing to be somewhere that has a great enjoyment of their craft! The ambiance is perfect for today's wine tasting scene! Truly wonderful experience and do not, DO NOT, miss the Jalapeño Mango Muscat!!!

Located in downtown Lodi with a nice cozy outdoor patio in front. Spacious and dark inside.We had some promotional discounts from the Oktoberfest so our tastings were complimentary and we got 30% off two bottles or cases of cider.I enjoyed learning about their family history off the website and each sibling had a tasting flight named after them. I had Anthony's flight which featured four red wines and my friend got Michael's flight which had two red wines and two ciders.We really liked the mango muscat hard cider and found the strawberry one a little bit artificial tasting.I preferred the Lodi Avenue Old Vine Zinfandel over the Scotto Old Vine Zinfandel so I brought a bottle of that home along with the Malbec. Without the discount I probably wouldn't have gotten the Malbec.A fun way to see Lodi since I had never been in the downtown area before.

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.
