Lodi wine country lies between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and produces a diverse range of over 100 varieties. Traditional California-style vines are grown alongside varieties from Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal and France’s Southern Rhône Valley. At about double the size of Napa Valley, Lodi growers support over 110,000 acres of vineyards.
