What a terrific find -- Yelp absolutely nailed this recommendation. The winery welcomes you with a long, beautiful drive through sprawling vineyards that instantly sets the tone for the experience. The outdoor seating area in the back was gorgeous, but since we arrived early on a Saturday and had the place nearly to ourselves, we chose to taste at the stunning bar instead. We were told it had been imported from a former brothel in New York, which only added to the charm and character of the place. Inside, the winery feels like part antique museum, part elegant wine lounge, filled with fascinating furniture, décor, and unique pieces everywhere you look. It's obvious the owner spared no expense creating such a warm and memorable atmosphere. Sha was our server and truly made the visit special -- such a delightful person with a fun, welcoming personality that elevated the entire tasting experience. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some issues with my taste and smell lately, so I wasn't the best judge of the wines myself, but the rest of our group thoroughly enjoyed them, and we all ended up leaving with bottles to take home. I'd happily return again next time I'm in the area. read more

​If you haven't visited Berghold Vineyards yet, you absolutely should. I love their wines--they are beautifully balanced and perfect for a party. The winery itself has such a relaxed vibe (complete with a winery cat!), and their events are wonderfully down-to-earth. Attending a release here feels like being at a fun family party, but without any of the drama. ​Today's 80s-themed wine release party was super fun featuring food trucks, music (Rewind 80s Band), bake sale, and, of course, fantastic wine. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the staff. They are warm, welcoming, and funny, making the experience even better. Honestly, the wine is equal to--if not better than--the quality you find in Napa and Sonoma, but for a third of the price. read more

Relaxing atmosphere for wine tasting in pretty much someone's backyard, that happens to be a vineyard. Their tasting menu had a combo of reds and whites. Great family wines and personable service! We met Mrs. Berghold who came to chat. Such an admirable lady with her pup. Loved this experience quite a lot especially cuz it was with my sis. This is one of her fave places. They allow you to bring your own charcuterie, or you can purchase their unique varieties. Inside are some handmade giftables and a gallery of antique furnishings. Everything was attractive, seriously, even the bathrooms (giggle snorts). During our visit there was a birthday and anniversary from a couple of groups. That tells you how special this place is. So special that there is a members only lounge. Wow, though, when you see the interior! read more

A nice winery to visit. There was yard with a fountain in front of the entrance. There's also a cute gazebo on the side. Both cute photo ops. The interior of the lobby was beautifully decorated. The restrooms were clean. We went to check in for wine tasting. We were seated promptly. Really cute view out back. Had a nice, relaxing visit. The best thing or I should say person was Rana. She was definitely a delight and very personable. A very sweet and friendly hostess. Made the winery more brighter with her personality. read more

This was one of the most unique and overwhelming interiors of anything I have ever been in, and I loved it. This place is decorated like someone robbed a Hobby Lobby at Christmas. It was so much, and made a great impression. The service was great and we felt like we could have as much or as little interaction as we wanted. The little cat that stays in the winery was an adorable plus! The wine itself was rich and really tasty, and while it was not my absolute favorite of the day read more

Love Love Love! Loved it so much we became members. We were looking for a new winery to try and Berghold just stuck out to me. I love the name. It sounded fancy lol. So off we went. First impression....WOW! Very beautiful estate. The tasting room is absolutely gorgeous with all the antiques. I'm a huge antique lover, so I was in awe from when we first walked in. The service is superb. The staff is always helpful and friendly when we visit. Their wines are devine. My favorite is their Crankcase! It's a very good wine. I highly recommend it as I highly recommend you visiting their winery and enjoying everything they have to offer. read more

Our first time wine tasting in Lodi and we chose this winery first. So glad we did, the grounds are beautiful unfortunately it was way too hot to enjoy! The wines are excellent!!! Two of my favorites a Merlot called Hypocrite and Viognier a refreshing wine for the summer. Will definitely come back, you can bring your dog and your own food. As beautiful as this place is they are not pretentious at all. We will definitely come back to hang out and sip on some delicious wine and hope to see beautiful Tipsy again! read more

We really enjoyed our wine tasting at this institution . The best ones in my opinion was the late harvest and the port ruby - we are big fans of dessert wines ! We also tasted the zin which was very good . We will be back for sure ! read more

Went a second time with friends and had a degrading experience. On friend has been a member for several years and after having wine at her home from this winery I was thinking of becoming a member. When we first arrived, an older gentleman questioned us about who was the member and who wasn't. He seemed a little hesitant about letting us sit in the fussy "member's only" which made us a little uncomfortable. The wine was great but we needed several more of the tiny glasses of wine to get the bad taste the man left in our mouths. One friend bought a bottle of Crankcase and I bought a bottle of the rose. As we were bringing rung up, I asked if I could have one of their ink pens that was in a box for people to have...."well, you're not a member but since you are with her then you can." Oh gee, thank you for letting me have one of your 10cent pens. Should I kiss your feet too?? We went to Oak Farm Vineyards and had a much better experience!! read more

The best Lodi winery so far. It's our first time trying out some wineries here. This place blew our mind. We came here Saturday around 1pm. $15 for 7 wines. It was busy at the bar area but service was attentive. They have the nicest and friendly lady staff ever. They are very quick and attentive to pour the wines. Generous pours too. They also sell some snacks like cheese in the fridge. We even got to try an extra wine. We could make waive the tasting fee if we bought a bottle. Plus it's 10% off if we got 6 bottles. So we left with a pack of 6 wines. The bottles were priced at good price too. The viognier was $29 and zin was $35. These were our favorites. The zin tasted very fruity and sweet but they said it had no sugar. They have both indoor and outdoor. We just stood at the bar for faster service. Viognier- very good smell and taste , fruity Rose: decent Sangiovese: decent , a little fruity Zinfandel: very, fruity, a little sweet , smooth Hypocrite: Merlot , dry , fruity , some tannins Capitalist: cab, some tannins, fruity, Crankcase: red blend, a little sweet, fruity Syrah viognier: some tannins, unique flavor and smell read more

One of the most charming tasting rooms in Lodi, you must visit during the Winter Holidays as they go all out like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation. One of my favorites, and it's been a while, was the Viognier. I don't remember if it was estate fruit but it was a clear winner and a perfect wine for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Also, this is a good location if you are heading back into Lodi as it is not too far from downtown Lodi where you can keep the party going by visiting some downtown winery experiences like Jeremy or maybe stopping at the Visitors Center for one last blast before heading to Wine and Roses for the evening and resting up for Sunday Brunch. I know that doesn't have anything to do with Berghold specifically but doesn't that sound like a nice weekend? read more

Wine tasting. Staff is amazing and friendly. Wine is all great! Pours are generous and port selection is amazing! Reds are some of the best we've had. Ambiance is beautiful and inviting. read more

This place was cool! Inside the winery had some vibes that reminded me of how my Aunt's house used to look, in a good way. There was a surprising amount of history to all of the decor in there. The wine was also great, almost no misses on the tasting list. The Zin is great and the Crankcase blend is a homerun. The staff was nice, especially in the early morning when we got there. This is probably a must visit in Lodi! read more

Our last winery after two days. The best!!! Loved the beautiful outdoor tasting experience! Included was a frog croaking by the great waterfall pond that we were told has been there for years. Couldn't find it but entertaining! Leslie was our awesome hostess, wines great, atmosphere the best! Great shopping experience in addition to the great wines!! read more

This is a Winery not to be missed when you are a Lodi. Amazing interior and exterior you really feel like you're some exclusive French or Italian winery. There is an amazing wine club members room with stained glass windows. The staff were super attentive and friendly. We made friends with many of the ladies there. We liked it so much we became wine club members the same day read more

We are wine club members and really enjoyed their new members only room! We purchased some meat and cheese from the refrigerator there which was essentially our lunch, and enjoyed a delicious wine pairing. Our favorite wine is the Crankcase! If you haven't tried their delicious toffee, make sure to get that, too! Yummmm! read more

Ambiance and service was amazing. Look forward to returning. I truly enjoyed all their wines selections as well

Really good wine for Lodi area. Went for a family members birthday and they treated her to an extra glass for the tasting which was nice! Only problem is its the only winery I've ever been to where the workers don't serve you the tasting. You have to go up to the bar for every tasting. When I asked why they said they just prefer people coming to them. Sounds lazy to me but is what it is. The tasting pours also differed per worker. Some workers poured a lot more wine while other workers barely filled the bottom of the glass. Very nice people just weird about how they go about serving. If you go though refer to Justin! He was amazing and very considerate! read more

Excellent wine and a beautiful location and winery. My mom brought my wife and I here a couple years ago, and we had a wonderful experience. My wife and I bought my mom a Berghold wine club membership for Christmas this last year, and she loved it so much that my wife and I decided to join as well. The orders come very quickly and the wine is always so good. We haven't tried a wine here yet that we didn't love. We especially love the Sangiovese and Dry Rosé and look forward to trying others throughout the year. Thank you, Berghold! read more

I want to start with the wine. I can honestly say it's the best I've ever tasted. Crankcase was the first one i tasted and it ruined all other wines for me. After that first glass of Crankcase in a local wine bar I had to have more! I did my homework and it turned out the winery was just 40 min away! So i went there with my family since a holiday decor was advertised. And Oh My God!The place is gorgeous! I felt like i needed to take a picture of every inch there! But it's not even the best part. Wine tasting proved that ALL their wines are 100% amazing. Even the wines i thought i didn't like (Zinfandel, Merlo) I do like pouring from a Berghold bottle :) I signed for the membership on a spot, and I will be coming again. A lot! read more

Very nice winery and surrounding vineyards. The personnel working there are professional, friendly and knowledgeable about their products. We went there on a birthday celebration get together with family. The staff was very accommodating and took us immediately to the club members private seating area as my son and his wife are winery club members. This room is very well appointed with stained glass windows, paintings and art displays. There is even a musical machine that has multiple instruments inside the glass case. It would occasionally play music. Our group was provided with 5 "flights" of their wines they currently offered. I should note there was a food truck in the parking lot and it was "Cousins " lobster truck for those in the know. They offered all types of lobster food items for sale. Although the food was not free it was reasonably priced and very good. All in all if you're looking for a great wine tasting and possibly purchasing some Berghold is a great place to be. We will definitely be returning for great wine and friends. read more

Great wine, beautiful ambience, very friendly service . We brought our two dogs and enjoyed wine tasting out on the patio. We viewed the beautiful antiques inside as well. Wonderful experience read more

Been coming to this winery for years and always love the visits....yesterday was no exception. Whats not to love about an Italian Villa surrounding in the middle of Lodi wine country...the wines here are always amazing but our personal favorite is the crankcase. Probably one of my favorite Lodi wines for sure. read more

Berghold Vineyards & Winery - Gorgeous setting - Wineries Near Me - Lodi, California

The wine is good. That's not the reason for the one star of their tasting room. That is because the place was covered up with children and dogs running with little to no supervision. One family even had a kids birthday! With all the squealing annoying sounds. And three dogs trying to mate. Literally the owners were talking about the bitches cycle. Not a relaxing ambiance to enjoy a nice flight of wine. read more

I would like to start by saying this place was not on our list of wineries to taste for the day in Lodi. We came here because we were recommended this winery at another winery by a few customers and we saw their banner that said they were voted number 1 winery in Lodi! This place will exceed your expectations in terms of wine tasting environment and great service. Our first time here and we became members so consider their membership plans because they're great! The person who helped us was great in giving us details of the wines on our flight, down to the best temperatures served. Make sure to bring cash as well, there is a little girl that kindly asks for donations for the Make a Wish foundation! read more

This is the first winery I've been to that is extremely spacious, with a lot of unique charm. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the winery, informing us of its history and pointing out the architecture and where certain wood pieces came from. You can shop for items while sampling the wine, or sit outside and enjoy the grounds. Tasting fee is $10 for 6 tastings, or fee is waived with a bottle purchase. Note: this is a dog-friendly winery. read more

I first went to Berghold 7 years ago. It was great. Very nice people, very welcoming. They talked about the wines, the growing process, etc. They brought out a special bottle from the library for us to try. It was great. I went again in April, 2023. It was a much different experience. The mood in the tasting room was sad. We were ushered outside to a table. We were brought a glass and a set of tiny plastic shot glasses, each with a different wine. No explanation of the wines. No discussion at all. The server just left. After 10 minutes, someone brought over water...but said nothing about the wines. When we finished, they asked what bottles we wanted to take home, if any. There was no passion for the wines, no love for the experience. It seemed like the workers weren't excited to be there. This was in sharp contrast to the other tasting rooms in the area, and the previous visit to Berghold. I hope this was just a bad day. But I won't be back unless others tell me things have changed. read more

The staff was very nice and friendly and they took good care of us. The inside of the location was very vintage and pretty, it reminded me of a church. However the wine quality was not good. The wine was room temperature and it was hard to drink. read more

My first visit to Lodi wine country and this was our first stop. The wine tasting area is beautiful, they let us walk through the Members Only lounge, which was fabulous. Karen was our server, and she was so pleasant and fun. I enjoyed every one of the wines but ended up buying a bottle of Cabernet Savignon and the capitalist Cabernet Sauvignon. One is an American oak, one is in French oak. Our party also purchased a Hypocrite and one of the zinfandels. It was a marvelous experience, and I will definitely be back! Yummy!! read more

What could be better then sitting in the beautiful sunshine, listening to great jazz music and drinking delicious wine? Had an excellent afternoon wine tasting today. There were 5 offerings - a Chardonnay and four reds. I could not complain about anything them with their "crankcase" bring my favorite. I did taste the 2018 Cab Franc, which was a bit too dry for me compared to others I have had. What rounded out the day was listening to the live music, the jazz quartet added so much to the atmosphere! The quartet was en pointe and would love to hear them again! read more

Really nice views and wine. If it weren't for the staff and their judgmental assumptions this place would be so much better. Came with a big group of friends and the staff made it seem as if affording their wine was an issue. However, we were still able to enjoy ourselves and had a conversation with the mother of the owner who made up for the first impression. Mostly I'll be back and give it another try. read more

Went to pickup wine club wine Sunday I called ahead so I would not have to go in they insisted that I come into the winery and would not listen to my request Once I got into the establishment they demanded that I wear a mask I have a medical condition that doesn't allow me to breathe in a mask oh ya there was not one customer in the establishment These people are rude don't care what you have to say I really hope they get a bunch of raisins this year I discontinued my wine club account There are literally hundreds of wineries in the area I don't have to put up with "better than thou" attitude these sheep have I'd like to see them out of business read more

This winery has beautiful grounds, the wine is just okay, however the staff needs to step it up.... big time. We had multiple people pouring our wines and were constantly asked what bottle we were on when it was time for the next pour. No information was offered about the wines, if we wanted to know anything about the wine or the facility, we had to ask. One person in our group said it appeared the staff were drinking behind the bar at one point. Compared to the other 2 stops we made that day, this stop felt extremely disorganized and felt more like a bar than a wine experience. read more
