I stopped at the Lodi Wine Visitor Center while passing through Lodi and had a great opportunity to learn more about the region and its wines. Paul welcomed me and guided me through wines from Anaya Vineyards, Lucas Winery, and Markus Wine Co., while explaining Lodi’s vineyards, grape varieties, and wine industry. As a WSET Level 2 student preparing for my WSET Level 3 exam in a few days, I especially appreciated meeting Markus from Markus Wine Co. He spent time discussing winemaking in Lodi and shared several helpful tips for my upcoming exam. I recommend starting here before visiting wineries. It is a great way to learn about the region and decide which of Lodi’s many wineries you would like to explore.
If you are visiting Lodi, you need to make sure that this is your first stop. I was familiar with some of the wines, but had no idea how many exceptional wines this region offered. Paul Marsh and Allison Champion were very gracious with their wine and knowledge, and they gave excellent suggestions on where to visit and which wines I would like. I can't wait to join their wine club - I bet there are going to be some fantastic offerings that I can't wait to try! Thank you for your hospitality -I can't wait to come back.
Great first stop and introduction to Lodi wineries. Anna was super helpful and able to share helpful information about the wines available, wine makers at the different wineries throughout the area. Fun to be about to try some bottles here that are not available elsewhere.
A shocking abundance of souvenirs in this tiny visitor center! Small but cozy. The staff warmly told me to grab any brochures from the wall. And when I asked real questions, I was sweetly directed to search online instead 🙃
Always an enjoyable experience here. A knowledgeable staff and an excellent assortment of wine showcasing Lodi grapes prompted us to become wine club members. Looking forward to the upcoming months with guided tastings and Meet the Winemaker events!
