Top Lodi Wineries You'll Visit on the Wine Trolley

Lodi is one of California’s oldest and most productive winegrowing regions, known for old-vine Zinfandel, Mediterranean varieties, and family-owned estates that welcome visitors with genuine hospitality. The Lodi Wine Trolley partners with tasting rooms that deliver strong wine quality, a clear story, and a warm welcome for groups arriving together by Trolley.

Exact routes vary by date and experience. Public tours rotate among partner properties so you see a thoughtful cross-section of styles — historic vineyards, boutique producers, and estates known for award-winning pours — without you having to research reservations, parking, or drive times between appointments.

Our partner network includes beloved Lodi names such as Bokisch Vineyards, Durst Winery, Good Mills Winery, Jessie’s Grove Winery, Klinker Brick Winery, Peltier Winery & Vineyards, Rippey Family Vineyards, St. Jorge Winery, and Stama Winery. Each stop brings a different personality — from Spanish-inspired varieties and heritage vineyards to bold Zins and patio tastings with vineyard views.

Substitute wineries may appear when tasting rooms adjust hours for harvest, private events, or seasonal demand. The goal stays the same — a well-paced day of high-quality pours, time to enjoy each property, and a smooth return to Downtown Lodi when the tour wraps.

Self-guided tasting sounds simple until you stack tasting-room bookings, navigate farm roads, find weekend parking, and designate a driver who sits out the fun. A guided Lodi wine tour solves those logistics. Your group stays together, tastings are included in the ticket, and the Trolley becomes a rolling lounge between pours.

First-time visitors especially benefit from onboard commentary. Guides share context on Lodi’s AVA, what makes old vines special, and tips for getting the most from each tasting room — including bottle discounts often available to Trolley guests.

Taste of Lodi (Saturdays) visits three wineries with a made-to-order lunch. Sunday Sipping offers two wineries, a sparkling toast, and a lighter afternoon. Seasonal events — Sip & Paint, Lights of Lodi, holiday and celebration tours — layer themed experiences onto the same wine-country backbone.

After you reboard and return downtown, many guests use exclusive restaurant discounts to extend the day. Browse experiences to compare schedules and pricing, then book online. Questions about accessibility, group seating, or dietary needs? Our FAQ and contact form are ready before you reserve.
