I came to this place wanting to like them. I like spanish wines. But, these wines were really not very good. All in all, a $10 tasting wasn't a big loss and it was an activity while touring this region but I can't say I'd recommend this vineyard. read more

Amazing wines and great service! My friends and I love grabbing a bottle and sharing it out on their grass area overlooking their beautiful vineyard. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable and do their best to treat you like your are special even when they are busy! Highly recommend their Albariños and Tempranillo! read more

DESCRIPTORS (in condensed words/phrases): Applause: Distinguished by great Spanish varietals; aromatic white wines; consistently pleasant Garnacha Blanca; Portugues Verdelho is surprisingly nuanced; beautiful new tasting room; lovely people provide caring service Criticism: Tempranillos & Garnachas have noticeably diminished in quality since '09; unbalanced acid is apparent in reds; second label (Tizona) represents regression in quality and lack of distinction from the rest of Lodi; new tasting room is geographically inaccessible in a Lodi tasting trip; once a gem of a winery is apparently regressing to the mean ATTACHED CHART image presents specific ratings that account for our overall Yelp rating for the winery. ** Keep in mind, in the interest of balance, we more heavily weigh "wine quality" & "value"; they contribute more strongly to our overall rating. ** "Wine Quality" is based purely on wines that were available for tasting and does not include the winery's closeted wines or its reputation from years past. read more

Bokisch Vineyards - Specific Ratings - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, California

Loved this winery! My mum works with the husband of the winemaker so we got a special tour of the barrel room and a nice history of the Bokisch family business. I enjoyed all of the wines we sampled but my absolute favorite was their Alberiño! Wow! It's so light and fruity and crisp, it's a definite must try! read more

Their Albariño has been my favorite for years!!! One of these days I'll make it out for their fire pit Fridays. Don't miss their events. The food is always amazing!! read more

I consider myself an oenophile, and I particularly like Spanish varietals. I was happy to see a winery that focuses on these great wines. The staff are fantastic. Jeff (tasting room manager) set up a tasting reservation for a group of six on Easter weekend, and he was happy to accommodate any preferences among varietals. Other staff members were gracious and allowed us to revisit any wine tasted. Overall, both white and red varietals are fantastic. If you prefer white wines, you must definitely try the Albarino and garnacha blanca. For those who like their reds: the graciano, tempranillo and trencadis are definitely wines to taste. We liked the winery so much we became wine club members. read more

I am writing this on behalf of Bokisch Vineyards for their ability to grow and produce grapes to make amazing wines. From the immense knowledge in the vineyards (Markus Bokisch) to the best winemaker (Elyse Perry) it's a win, win from beginning to end. Elyse has a gifted talent in producing the best tasting wines. So fortunate to have Bokisch Vineyards in our area! read more

Customer service sucks. Wine is over priced, and flavor profile is not complex. For the price, wine is sharp and has no finish. View is beautiful, but that is the only thing this winery has going for it. Horribly disappointed. Don't waste your money. read more

Bokisch really has cornered the market for Spanish varietals in Lodi. I have yet to taste a single wine here that did not hit the mark. They have fantastic reds and whites, something is sure to match your palate. Their location is absolutely beautiful, several times we have purchased a bottle and just hung out overlooking the vineyards. Bokisch has the trifecta of Delicious Wines, Breathtaking Location, and Incredible Staff. Cannot recommend this winery enough!! read more

When I came to Bokisch for the first time I was overwhelmed by the grounds and how hospitable the staff was. Not only were the wines fantastic, but the staff was so pleasant and knowledgeable on the wines. I have told all of my friends and family to go check it out! Their Albariño is my favorite! read more

Excellent Spanish varietals and friendly service. It's off the beaten path but the grounds are spectacular. Can't wait to go back!

Good Spanish varietals. The tasting room is nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed all of our tastings, our favorite was the Late Harvest Graciano which was amazing. read more

Bokisch Vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lodi, California

The whites were better than the reds. The tasting room and grounds are nice but not exceptional like some others in the area. The atmosphere is laid back whereas many others in the area are elegant and upscale. The wine pourers weren't particularly engaging which is one of our favorite parts about tasting. It's worth it once to see the view over the vineyards, but we won't be regulars here. read more

we did the wine making and wine tasting tour with Meghan and it was the highlight of our California trip. screw Napa, go Lodi!

We stopped by this place at 4:50pm today and didnt have a good experience. The lady working said she already started the dish washer so she was not able to accommodate us. It is unfortunate because we heard really good things about this winery. I understand employees would like to go home at a decent time, however when people walk in before 5pm. They should be accommodated. read more

The Terra Alta Albariño and view of the vineyard is all you need for a good day! I love their red and white wines and Margie walked us through our tasting. She was so accommodating! Overall we enjoyed our visit and had a fantastic time. We really appreciated the thoroughness of our tasting, I would highly recommend checking them out! Can't wait to go back again! read more

See all

During this time of quarantine, being away from home, (Lodi, ca) family, and friends makes this even harder. I called my favorite winery in Lodi to get a taste of home sent to me in Southern California. I spoke with Kristine in the tasting room and she helped me pick out an arrangement of wonderful wines. They were here within three to four days, so fast! As I have been enjoying this fabulous wine I can't help but think of how beautifully organized the tasting room, winery and wine club all are at Bokisch. If you are looking for a place to enjoy family fun with the only rolling hills of vineyards and oak trees with the best wine in town, Bokisch is the place to go. I can't wait to go back home and visit this stunning establishment. read more

Spent a wonderful day wine tasting in Lodi, and our final destination was Bokisch. I am so glad it was our last of the day because if it was the first, we might not have tried the next! Great wine, interesting varietals (Graciano, Tempranillo, Trencadis (blend)). Such a nice personable staff, very knowledgeable, and just super nice people. And the to cap it all off was having Margie serenade us (after much encouragement) on her ukulele. What a voice! And such a great experience. read more

First off if your looking for a good winery to sit down with a group of friends/family and enjoy your time DO NOT GO HERE! The wine tasting manger is rude and unprofessional. I felt disrespected by how he poured his tasting for us ladies (which was not a normal tasting size) and how he "cut us off" after our 6th tasting when we were informed by the ladies working when we first walked in it was opened for all 12 tastings the day we were there. Not only that but he even tried to charge our party of 9 for more tasting then what we actually owed. I even explain to him that people in our party had bought bottles of wine and some had paid for their own tastings. He didn't believe us, I had to explain to him a 2nd time and he finally just charged us the remaining of what we owed which was 3 tastings not 6 like he stated. And I'm sure he still didn't believe us because how he answered us with his sarcasm. Honestly, I have been to few winery's in Lodi and in Livermore area and this one is by most the WORST one I have been to. The two younger ladies in the tasting room where very nice and respectful and they poured a normal size tasting like many other winery's do. They also explained to us which wines we were drinking. I actually feel bad for them to have to work/deal with a man like that. Over all if your still going to come try this winery don't deal with the tasting Manger. Trust me he's a total waste of your time. Most recommended winery in Lodi would be St. Jorge winery. Its very very beautiful and all the wines were absolutely amazing. Also amazing service. They totally made us feel at home. When we came in it was a little busy and they asked us how many and they took our big party of 9 and opened the back room for us. You must go to ST. JORGE WINERY! Hope this review helped! read more

Wines are lovely tasting. Jodi was fun to talk with. We especially liked the Tempranillo and Malbec. Thanks for the fun time

Love this place! Very family friendly, peaceful, beautiful, and most importantly exceptional wine! Really enjoyed our time here. Ask for the sisters and tell them hello for us. If you have time, go on a Friday for campfire wine night. Wish we would have known! read more

This review is for Margie! She has an excellent intuition for wine pairings and has such a sweet and professional demeanor. I can't wait for what she recommendeds to me next! read more

This is a great little winery off the beaten path. It seems out there but it is totally worth it. There are amazing views to be had; it is absolutely gorgeous to sit, sip a glass of wine, and look at the vineyards. Plus, it's super friendly to kids. They have great whites too! read more

The wines here were very nice. They are Spanish varietals - light and very flavorful. Their old vine zin is made in the Spanish way - flavorful and spicy- not big and jammy like most Lodi zins. The tasting room sits above the vineyard and has great views. They are a little far from town, but well worth the trip. Their whites are dry and flavorful - a red drinker would have no problem drinking these. Start your tasting here and work your way back towards town. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow. Their wines are amazing. This winery has the scenery and the wine to match. I am not too crazy about oak-heavy wines and I loved these wines. We had many people recommend this winery and we were not disappointed. Loved it! read more

Love this winery! Great wines and great girls in the tasting room! They make your wine tasting experience so much fun!

Spanish varietals are a huge hit with me and that is just what Bokisch has! A few of my favorites were the Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Garnacha Blanca. The view can't be beat sitting by a fire pit in the comfy lounge chairs and watching the sunset! I love looking out over the vineyards and giant trees and feeling like I've been transported away from Lodi. I stopped by again during Wine & Chocolate and my only wish is that the man making the churros could be there every day! read more

Bokisch Vineyards is in my top three in Lodi.. the venue is beautiful the staff is amazing and the wine is incomparable.. if you love Spanish Varietals or have never experienced them please treat yourself to a lovely day in the tasting room and the vineyard.. read more

Tastings are really cheap compared to other Lodi wineries, and I never get a tasting fee when I buy a bottle. Jeff, the tasting manager, is incredibly knowledgeable about Bokisch's process and history. You can not beat the view and picnic spot they have. Everyone I take here raves about the unique taste their Spanish wines have, so good spot to try something different. read more
