Had a case of wine returned to mccay, I have reached out numerous times to get the wine shipped. No one has returned my calls or emails and I have not received a refund. No one answers the phone. I'm pretty annoyed, to say the least. read more

Excellent tasting here of wonderful wines. Friendly service with flare and informative narratives. Tasting room is rustic and comfortable. All the wine we tasted today were awesome full of great flavors and body. There were some surprises on the tasting list. Not going to tell you so you can be as surprised as I. Oh yes this is a must to visit Cindy was wonderful filling in the details and keeping our palates tantalized ! See you here read more

I didn't know Lodi had wine! We stopped in Lodi off the 5 for lunch. First time in Lodi, usually a drive through. Well, we found a great downtown area with shops, restaurants, and wineries! McCay Cellars was on Yelp with great reviews so we had to go! Really nice tasting room, lots of seating around or you can stand at the bar. Lots of room. We did one tasting and shared since one of us had to drive all the way home back to the OC. Great team pouring and telling us about their wines. We took a few bottles home. Loved the Rose! Great spot if you find yourself in Lodi! read more

Nice winery in town. Secluded spot with a fountain for ambiance outside. The wines are very good. Our favorites were the Petit Syrah and the Faith Zinfandel. Free tasting with a bottle purchase. Great place to visit. I would recommend a stop here on your trip to Lodi. read more

Sadly, not impressed. I really enjoy wine tasting, so much so that I make it a point to travel to different cities regularly to try out different places. what I look for is yummy wine but more importantly, great service. We stopped in on a whim because it was recommend by someone at a prior tasting room. I was impressed with the decor and feel of the inside. We were not greeted and the young lady pouring the wine sort of stood there and just poured the wine. There was no conversation and no explanations of the wines, it was a turn off to be honest. It was close to closing time (45 mins) and we felt a little rushed. We tried 2 wines, paid, and left without getting the remainder of our pours. I am not opposed to trying more of their wine, but this wouldn't be my first option. read more

We love this place! The young lady who serviced us, forgot her name (maybe Ashley) but she put on a great presentation and their wines are excellent! We had 5 tastings, we purchased 4 out of 5 which waived the $15 per person tasting fee. They also have snacks to purchase and they have knives and cutting boards to also enjoy with the wine. Just a very cool spot and we will be back! read more

Stopped by here on the way to Kirkwood. Great wine and amazing people. Take the detour. read more

McCay Cellars - Tasting Room - Wineries Near Me - Woodbridge, California

Although McCay is a drive to get to from the Lodi area the winery is super cute and they have an expresso bar! Wine is always good. Cab Franc is our favorite.... Take a drive out it's worth it and you won't be disappointed!! read more

We really enjoy McCay. They have great variety of wines . Wine for everyone's pallet. They also have great cheese and sweet pairings and serve great charcuterie board(s). We also enjoy Thursday's summer music and wine in the early evenings. Great way to unwind from a busy work week. Shout out to Cindy and Ashely in the tasting room are both knowledgeable and super friendly. read more

A rustic, yet modern tasting room in downtown Lodi. McCay has a large catalog of wines ranging from Grenache Blanc to Cabernet Franc; quite a variety of wines that are wonderful. Some favorites were the 2013 Faith Zinfandel is wonderful; light and fruity. The 2013 Jupiter Zinfandel is both fruity and spicy with rounded tannins and is excellent. I had the pleasure of tasting about 16 of their wines and it was hard to find one I didn't like. McCay Cellars is a great stop while in Lodi. read more

Still one of my favorite wineries in Lodi. Their Cinsault is still a wine I dream about. I can't wait to come back! read more

Love everything here. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. You receive your bottle water to hydrate and get generous tastings.. don't forget to try what's in the barrel for futures. They have several wine club options which is great for every consumer. The wine pairing events are fun so stay tuned for those. read more

McCay Cellars is not a typical Lodi winery. Tucked into the back of an industrial strip mall, their tasting room is more typical of a funky new microbrewery. Do not let looks deceive, if you can find them, this is a great place to stop. A small sign indicates which non-descript door to enter. The tasting room is large and eclectic with a giant parachute and various picnic tables and artwork. You get a five-for-five with purchase refund, but they have a large list of wines to sample. They have some unique wines available, heavy on the Zin as your would expect. I really enjoyed the Lodi Native which had a different take on Zin, working with other wineries to revive the classic tastes. This is not a typical Lodi wine experience, but I really recommend stopping by if you enjoy seeking out something different. read more

We got a little lost going here- but found it eventually. When you see the gravel quarry, turn right immediately after! This place is right next door to it. Our Garmin thought it was further down the road. The wines were all very tasty. I tried the 5 zins. My favorite was the Jupiter. My husband loved the cab franc, though, so that's what we got. All the wines were tasty here. There were some varieties here I do not remember tasting before. The gentleman pouring was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had a great time. There is a lot of space here. There were two picnic tables, inside, a patio table with comfortable chairs, a bar area with somewhat uncomfortable metal stools, and a couch area. I will definitely come back here. It's rare to find so many delicious different wines under one roof- usually I only like one or two wines. Here I liked almost everything I tried (the first zin (faith?) was a little to acidic for me). read more

I love McCay wine Allan is amazing! He is very knowledgeable about their wine and he is very pleasant to customers. Don't forget to pick up their Cantina and follow them on Facebook or Instagram for Cantina $5 fill up. Cheers read more

McCay Cellars - Cheers - Wineries Near Me - Woodbridge, California

My wife and I travel to Lodi frequently for a weekend getaway and love all the great wineries that Lodi has to offer and McCay Cellars is truly one of our favorites. It's a little hard to find and not a typical winery location (it's an industrial building) but once found and once inside truly an amazing hidden gem. It's well decorated with tons of wine barrel art, furniture etc...but has plenty of seating areas for people to chill out and relax. Plus they do have a limited cold case with some cheeses, Italian meats and other items. Unlike most wineries were it's an oyster cracker or plain almond. For my wife and I the the true best part of this winery is Alan....this guy is what makes this place so great. Not that they don't have other great and friendly employees but Alan is the real deal. Every time we come back it's like we never left. He is so welcoming and friendly to everyone. Plus his knowledge of the wines and the wine business in Lodi is amazing. Plus the fact that he is just a plain cool dude all the way around. Last year I took my whole leadership team here for wine tasting and a few folks claimed "we aren't wine drinkers" well by the end of the time spent everyone was a wine drinker. That's because Alan listened to what there likes and dislikes about wine and only poured them what they liked about wine and truly catered to their needs. He does this because not only does he listen intently to what customers want but his overall knowledge of the wine drives home the experience. Well this isn't just about my man crush on Alan...LOL their wines are amazing and the true care the vintner puts into these comes out in every taste and glass of this great wine. Our favorite is their Zinfandels they are are all old and ancient vine some as old as 108 years. We aren't fans of jammy wines and these zins are so smooth and full flavored. Recently our daughter was married here locally and lucky for us McCay was one of the choices. Everyone at the wedding raved at how much they loved their Chardonnay and Cabernet and you won't get any complaints from me. I am not a white wine drinker usually but their Chardonnay is about the only one I enjoy. Plus what else puts this place over the top for me is the owner is a huge SF Giants fan and SF 49ers so cool memorabilia around as well. So perfect fit for me....great wines, great people and representing the right side of the Bay. If you are in Lodi doing wine tasting and you don't come here then you have truly missed out. read more

Mike makes some beautiful natively fermented wines; his 15 cab franc and Lodi Native are my favorites. Alan, Gina, and the rest of the staff have always been extremely friendly and accommodating. The new location downtown has turned out very nice and is a fun place to hang out and drink good wine. read more

The service here is always superb, the tasting room staff are friendly and attentive; your glass is never empty. I love them even more now that they are in downtown lodi. The tasting room is open and airy, they have a great variety of indoor and outdoor seating. Their wine is some of my favorite in the Lodi area. Definitely try the cab franc, if available for tasting. If not buy the bottle, you won't regret it. read more

One star for 1 server, Ashley. Otherwise, This was the worst wine tasting experience. The Manager Cindy, was unfriendly, frazzeled, rude, and under-staffed. We were sat outside. A large group of 30 placed indoors (unmasked). We were forgotten, I went indoors (with my glass) and she said, "put my mask on" I replied, "no one else was wearing a mask" I felt unwelcome and will never return. read more

Great wine. Made a reservation and the service was not great. Showed up to the table with open bottles and didn't let us taste the bottles we were obligated to buy. Had a sign that said 4 bottles for $75 and told us it was no longer offered (false advertising) so that bummed us out. Great wine though. read more

Another fantastic tasting today. Came for just a couple btls of rose, left w/ some great Christmas dinner treats w/ prime rib. A must visit when in lodi! ! Alan & Mike always make great efforts to please. read more

It's always a great time. Wonderful wine, knowledgeable friendly staff. Love their place.

Love the new tasting room! Love this winery! Love the staff! Equity is my favorite wine here but all are fabulous. The staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable without pretentiousness, love Allan. Lovely patio, seemed to be pooch friendly. Great variety of pours and who doesn't love $5 cantina Friday's?! read more

I love the new tasting room located in downtown Lodi. Great patio and great prices on wines. You can stay downtown and walk to the tasting room. They have cheese and salami for sale to enjoy with their large selection of wines. A must visit local winery! read more

My husband and I happened upon this winery on our last trip through Lodi a few months ago. We were hooked and my husband bought a case of futures. Our return this weekend was another great experience. Super friendly staff and delicious wines at reasonable prices. It's in a business center, a little out of the way but worth the visit! read more

Great staff - wonderful setting. Great wine. Try the lattes in the morning. They even have music!!!

Very cool, chill, laid back winery that embraces Lodi. The winery has a slight hippy/new school vibe that is a very refreshing change of pace. The inside design has quite a bit of thought put into it with nuances of Lodi every where. After your first sip of McCay wine you quickly and completely forget that moments ago you entered an industrial building. Have been here more than once and have always been treated very well. Wines are top notch in the moderate to high price range for Lodi wines. Very yummy all around though. Kudos McCay Cellars for pulling off a job very well done! Wineries like these are what are helping bring Lodi wines to the next level! read more

Had a great time tasting at McCay. This was my first ever experience in Lodi, and I'm happy I went to McCays. The wines were great-- although the tasting room was pretty chilly, and unfortunately I think the wines were a bit too chilly (thanks, nature) because of it-- so I don't know if I was able to taste how truly great the wines were. However, would recommend checking this place out. A great atmosphere-- we got to taste the wines on the list plus more, and even got TWO tastes out of a barrel. Our pourer (I'm sad that I didn't catch his name) gave us a bottle of water and some delicious cheese along with our wine. Once I discovered that I could warm the wine up a bit with my hand on the glass, I realized the wines here were pretty great. Definitely a great place to go if you're looking for a variety of zins. The room is in a warehouse that seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but when you go inside, the atmosphere is warm (despite the cold temperature outside) and the decorations are pretty fun and very "lodi" read more

Went to a pickup wine event. The tacos were delicious, but their staff were very disappointing and rude! The older lady pouring was a bit tipsy and made rude comments and racist remarks! read more

I love McCay wine. I first tried their wine at a random tasting place in downtown Lodi ever since then I've been a club member. Every time I'm in town I make sure to swing by and pick up a few bottles. I love the reds (Equity, Trulux, Jupiter) but their white wines are also very well balanced. I highly recommend McCay Cellars. read more

Great wines and great atmosphere. We were given several options that were not on the wine tasting menu. Not all were great, but the service was amazing. Definitely be back to sit outside relax and listen to the trains go by. read more

The tasting room was awesome... great ambiance, plenty of room to sit. Went in without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the number of great wines they had for sample. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. It truly is a family winery because even upon entering, you are treated like a friend rather than a customer. read more

Cute industrial/ outside feel winery. Lots of wines to choose from and good!! Allen was great at helping us out. He was knowledgeable and very friendly! I ended up buying a bottle of Verdelho Can't wait to revisit this winery! read more

Truly a 5-star experience for the books! Great wines served by entertaining and knowledgeable staff. Trendy decor. Fun spot in need of a repeat visit. read more

The inside of this place looks super cute and welcoming and you would have never known from the outside... the wine is average and the customer service wasn't the best... my expectations were to high I guess... my expectation was to get served and with every tasting I would be informed about what I'm tasting and where it came from etc etc... you know.. a typical tasting...this place wasn't the case... we sat down and after 2 pours we realized that we're sitting down drinking a glass of wine and wondering what we were doing there.. so we paid and walked out and they didn't even realize we didn't do our entire flight... this place was cute but I wouldn't come back for the wine or service. read more

Well, I walked in saying I didn't like white wines and Mike McCay said "yes you will". I'm glad he said that and poured me a glass. I loved every single wine I tasted there today and the atmosphere and people were great too!! Not an area where you'd think you'd find a winery, but I'm glad we turned around and decided to try it. My friend and I had a wonderful time and I will definitely be back very soon!! Don't forget to join their wine club!! read more

Rhone wines are the best I have enjoyed, well crafted with great skill. The tasting room is comfortable, fun and artistic. Walking in, I felt quite comfortable and impressed with the space and design. Allan behind the wine bar is personable, knowledgeable and passionate which I appreciate! We met Moriah, a local, who joined us for dinner. Truly a great experience. Will return the next time I am in town. Thank you for your hospitality! read more

Loved the new digs! On Sacramento St right next to the train station. The industrial vibe continues, and it looks to be a wonderful spot to taste, sit outside and enjoy when all the areas are finished. Great walking distance from downtown. Their zins made me come in ( having had them first years ago at Wine and Roses), but don't overlook their whites and rose. Awesome additional tasting room to Lodi. Was great talking with Mike McCay, owner. Congrats! read more

I am not a big wine drinker; I am more of a whiskey girl but I had one of the best wine tasting experiences EVER at McCay winery a couple weeks ago! My coworker/close friend is a member of this winery. He invited me to join him on the Wine Club event on Oct 29th. The outside of the tasting room looks like an industrial area but as soon as you got inside, the decoration, the display of the wine and especially the services were beyond amazing. All of the ladies who work there were so knowledgeable, friendly, sweet, and welcoming. They are also so beautiful!!! Alan, the manger, was so friendly and adorable!! We tasted several wines and then, drove over to the warehouse/winery where wine was made. Michael gave us a long and very educational talk about wine. He patiently answered all of our questions. You can tell how much he truthfully loves wine and his job. Delicious wines and foods were served during this time and that made the experience more special! We then drove back to the tasting room and tried more wine and snacks and learned more about McCay wines. We also made new and wonderful friends. I ended up purchase a case of wine. When i shared the wine with my sister, she fell in love with it. We are planning to come back for another wine tasting. I am going to share my wine with family members and close friends so they can be introduced to McCay wine. Lodi is a nice area and McCay winery is so worth the long ride to visit. Hope you will enjoy your experience as much as I did. Beside enjoy good wines, it's nice to be able to support small business like McCay!!! read more

Absolutely in love with this place. The people are so nice, you receive decent size pours. It's located right next to Idol. Works perfect as my fiancé loves beer and I love wine. read more
