“Absolutely loved our visit to Nostra Vita Family Winery in Lodi!
The wine is fantastic, the family who runs it is warm and welcoming, and the vineyard views are stunning. Their red blends are a must-try, and we appreciated how they took the time to share their passion with us.
The outdoor patio is the perfect spot to relax with a glass, and it’s so nice that they’re dog-friendly. This is easily one of our favorite wineries in the Lodi area. Already planning our next visit!“
“Great wines! Spectacular tasting rooms! Lovely folks! We are in our 80's and have more wine than we can possibly drink! We've dropped out of all the other wine clubs we been in, but we just can't let go of Berghold. They are the best!“
“This is another place you're made to feel like old friends. This is family owned and they welcome you with a genuine warmth. Denise (mom of the family) is your hostess and along with excellent wine usually has a home made treat to offer up. Its a place you immediately become friends with other patrons. I had the Cab...excellent ! And my gentleman had the Zin. P.S...NO small pours here! Check their schedule as they are not open everyday, but usually open at noon over the weekend. Highly Recommended!!“
“Excellent food, wine and the olive oil is amazing. The white truffle is mind blowing & Petite Sirah is out of this world. I am from Northern Italy. I know a thing or two about wine - trust me when I say that the Calivines Petite Sirah is world class.“
“What a great find this winery was! I visited the Lodi Wine & Visitor Center, and told them I was interested in old vine Zinfandels. When I told them I was looking for some old vines to get photos of, they recommended that I visit Lucas Winery, and they were so right! A beautiful location, lovely staff, and Zin Star Vines established in 1933.
I also loved the wall of different soils, and they had a great assortment to taste. Wineries like this are what will bring me back asap - great wines, great hospitality with lots to see and do.“
“Matt and Evonne are some of my dearest friends. I have experience harvesting grapes with them back in 2001. They are hard workers true to family, friends and their community. Their winery is lovely, but it’s the service that brings people back.“
“Pondl Winery may be on the smaller side, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in heart. David is an absolute gem—a fantastic orator who brings every pour to life with stories, history, and genuine passion. We truly enjoyed the wines, especially the Dolcetto and Cabernet Sauvignon, but honestly, we could have stayed all afternoon just listening to him.
The labels are beautiful and meaningful, with such a thoughtful nod to both David’s and Pat’s heritage—it really adds something special to the whole experience. We only wish we could have met Pat as well.
Wishing you all the best, David—thank you for such a memorable visit!“
“Fun and welcoming experience!“
“Best wine, great music, good people!“
“Very relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the concert. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I was worried about using their porta potties but they had staff constantly cleaning them and restocking supplies. Their wine is delicious. They have good food trucks as well. Will be back!“
“Had an absolutely lovely tasting experience here! Beautiful vineyard views and an incredible tasting with Carrie - she is so knowledgeable and made the experience so fun. Highly recommend making this top winery a destination on any Yarra Valley visit!“
“Lovely owner gracious and knowledgeable . I’ve been wine tasting for some years and she still taught me something new that I didn’t know. Good variety of wines and some that other area wineries don’t create.“
“We literally saved our best tasting experience for last! This small family winery has it all: intimate charm, a wonderful peaceful setting and exceptional wines to boot! Laurie has a way of making everyone feel special! We took home some petite Syrah, Teroldego and a Syrah. But, most importantly we took home the love that Brad and Lauri put into their wine and the wine tasting experience. Thanks for the cherries! They were so delicious that they didn't make it home! Thanks for the little extras you threw in with our order. I can't wait to go back!“
“Always great services. Kid friendly and great slush wine.“
“Harney Lane Winery is a splendid little place to stop and enjoy time with your loved one, friends, or family—and you can even bring your canine companions along. We especially loved the outdoor seating area, which feels like a peaceful forest oasis nestled among the surrounding vineyards and orchards.
It’s a beautiful spot to relax, unwind, and simply enjoy the day. We also appreciated that they offer coffee for those who might not be in the mood for wine. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the wine itself was excellent.
We highly recommend Harney Lane Winery for a visit any time of the year.“
“So great to work with. I needed a tank that was out of stock and they looked around to find me one at a shop in the bay area. Just really good customer service!“
“What an absolute gem of a place! We always have such a genuinely joyful time here. It’s a beautiful, family-run farm, and you can feel how much love they put into everything. The goats — mamas and babies alike — are impossibly cute and so much fun to be around. Their goat cheese and wine are delicious, and the whole setting, with the garden and chickens, is just perfect.
We’ve done a couple of their events and they were a blast — goodnight goats (babies everywhere) and painting with goats. Next up for us is goat yoga! We also sponsor a mama goat which comes with some nice perks. This is one of those rare places that just makes you happy the moment you arrive. Highly recommend!“
“Went there for the first time and this place is beautiful. Doesn’t cost anything to get in. You can wine taste, you can buy a bottle and get some food which is a little pricy but it’s delicious and find many of the places to sit with umbrellas everywhere so your in the shade enjoying yourself. Will be back for sure.“
“Stopped in on a busy afternoon. Brennan greeted me warmly, told me to sit anywhere I liked, and took my order shortly thereafter.
If it’s your first time, be sure to do a tasting of their red wines or just grab a glass of the superb Old Ghost. Great wine, professional staff, and a convivial environment… I’ll definitely be coming back here.“
“Old world style elegant and nuanced wines in Lodi !! I did not know that till I met John and Lisa at Prie this weekend.They grow/source a number of European grape varietals like Dornfelder (Germany), Teroldego (Italy), Alicante Bouschet (Spain) besides the staples of Lodi area like Syrah, Barbera, Zin. What makes the wines very special is the philosophy of wine making - minimalist. The wines are not bold or jammy. They are subtle, balanced and complex.John and Lisa are also wonderful and kind human beings who care a lot about the world. I got to know them in a leisurely chat on a warm afternoon. The tasting area is a a calm soothing place, just to have such conversations with friends and family while sipping some vino.Highly recommend if you love old world style wines.“
“The Stonum family came into my life when I was a child, Francesca is a life long friend, I can speak from experience that this entire family is filled with quality people that produce a high quality product.“
“The Phantom of the Opera event was my first time at Harmony. The intention, beauty and creativity layered into to the art, wine and music made the whole night feel a bit magic. I felt like I’d been invited into the home of a family who’s created an incredibly beautiful life. I’m already excited for next month!“
“Besides Napa Valley, d’Art wine possesses a certain red referred to as dog day, and it is the most delicious red wine, parallel to wine that I have had from France, that I have ever had. d’Art’s dog day is wonderful, especially chilled. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful and Helen, the owner, is a wonderful personality.“
“I love this family winery and their Rosé’s. To celebrate the autumn season, the 2024 Rosé paired perfectly with pumpkin gnocchi and mushroom ravioli, both in a butter sage sauce at home. I even enjoy sipping it alone.“
“The service was slow at first for a tasting but we eventually had a host that spent time with us. You do have to pay for a tasting - $30. Instead of paying $60 for 2 tastings, he asked if we wanted to buy a bottle of the wine we liked for $50. That was a no brainer.“
“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.“

“Easy to get to place. Room to maneuver backing in the docks. Skillful loading42,000 + lbs were evenly distributed on the trailer floor. And lady at the Shipping office? She was very kind and polite. Enjoy the experience, comrades! P.s. no scales on site.“
“We are wine club members here and this place is hands down awesome. The reds are our favorite but the whites very nice too. The staff is great and knowledgeable and can definitely guide you on your wine tasting experience. The atmosphere, the parking, the location are exquisite as well hence why we are members here as opposed to the crowded, hustle and bustle of Napa County.“
