Lodi is home to more than 85 wineries spread across the Mokelumne River, Clements Hills, and Jahant appellations — a density that makes it one of the best wine-touring destinations in the entire state, and a logistical puzzle for any group trying to visit five of them in one afternoon without a plan. The Lodi Wine & Visitor Center (2545 W Turner Rd, Lodi, CA 95242) is the natural starting point and a smart first stop before heading out on the trail.
A Lodi party bus rental solves the puzzle completely. Start at Michael David Winery (4580 W Highway 12, Lodi, CA 95242) for their 7 Deadly Zins pour, continue to Acquiesce Winery (22353 N Tretheway Rd, Acampo, CA 95220) for white Rhône varieties, wind through Bokisch Vineyards for a Garnacha tasting, and close out at the downtown Lodi tasting rooms along School Street. Every transition is handled — your group stays together, no one has to watch their pour count for driving purposes, and no car gets left at a winery overnight.
The Lodi Zinfandel Festival every March is peak demand for winery bus rentals; book months ahead for that weekend. Call 209-229-4233 for a free quote!
