Best Wineries in Lodi
Harney lanes winery, what can I tell you about these guys?. They make a good bottle of wine, they have a great location, great atmosphere, and they do all kinds of cool snack foods throughout the day, and other kinds of events.
Wow! The grounds were absolutely beautiful. My group of 6 had seating near the water fountain and it was simply amazing. The ambiance was so nice. Good music, perfect weather, great service, great food, and the wine was on point! I’ve found a new favorite, Earthquake Cab.
This is a really cute winery with good wines! My partner and I came here for the weekend a bit ago, and are looking forward to coming again! Vibe on the interior is very much of a cabin kind with relaxation. Overall, wines were really good here.
My fiancé and I love this winery! Their sparkling rosé and barbera are very tasty. Staff is friendly every time we visit! We have yet to try the paddle boats, but it looks really fun. Sometimes we miss the food truck. But the brunch food truck is really yummy. Call ahead and ask if you want to bring your own snacks/charcuterie. Keep being awesome Valensin!!
This winery is truly a hidden gem!
We stopped by for Sunset Sippin’ on a Friday night; they offer wine to purchase by the glass or bottle with live music & lawn seating $10/person. The vineyards are beautiful & are family & pet friendly.
We purchased a bottle of their Reserve Spanish blend, I thought it was quite good for a blend. I saw many groups purchase their sparkling wine, definitely going to try that one next!
The live music was such a treat! The band played so well & had such a great set list. Definitely will be returning & encourage everyone to take advantage of the Sunset Sippin’ they offer.

‘Everything was absolutely perfect. Our first time and we’re here only because of a recommendation. It was my birthday and my husband treated me to a day of pampering. Started with a massage by Amy. Best massage in 30 years. Came stressed from work and was like puddy when she finished. Relaxed in their tranquility room, til my Facial Cosmotologist Hannah came to give me, by far, best Facial ever! Our room was beautiful, property so lush and finished evening having delicious dinner at Towne House. We will absolutely be back. What a hidden treasure.’

In 1929, on the brink of the Depression, our father and grandfather “Poppy” Sol took a bold step. 22 years old, he had already worked fulltime for 10 years to support his family. Yet he was ambitious, and wanted to live the American Dream and make the lives of everyone around him better. So, donning his best of suits and an assured smile on his face, Sol walked away from the bank with a loan to start his own business, the Newark Nut Company. The rest is history.
