We found out about Van Ruiten while attending the 2026 Lodi Grape Festival. The owner was so friendly and was pouring their new Sparkling Rose and Blanc De Blanc. When we arrived at the winery, they had a good amount of people inside and outside but there was still plenty of seating for either option. The interior is lovely with a beautiful scenic painting on the left wall. They sell cute Knickknacks for your home as well. We ordered a bottle of the sparkling Rose and set out on the patio to enjoy some bubbles under the shade. I love the way they have the vines growing above you in the patio area, it was so beautiful. There was a family having a picnic, so it appears to be perfect for large groups as well. Overall It was a nice experience and will for sure be back again. Would love to see them add a brut to the collection and maybe offer a sparkling wine tasting flight as they only offer a still wine tasting currently.

With all of the wineries in Lodi, it can be a difficult decision where to stop in at! We visited…read moreStonum Vineyards a few weekends ago and were delighted with the rustic yet charming ambiance of the winery. We were quickly greeted by the friendly female hostess who offered us either indoor or outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors to enjoy our tastings of both whites & reds . Normally I prefer reds however in the summer I enjoy a crisp Sauvangion Blanc or even a nice Rose. If you purchase a bottle your tasting fee is waived which is always a great deal. We enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for the Alpine Block party event which included tastings at Stonum Vineyards and two other nearby wineries. This fun filled evening included live music, food trucks, and the Lodi Wine trolley shuttling you back & forth between the wineries. Definitely a good time! I highly recommend Stonum Vineyards & Tasting Room for great wine, friendly service and well coordinated, entertaining events.

I had driven by many times and it seemed like an appointment only place but I guess now they have enough staffing to open up the hours and days of the week. First, their reputation has always been very good. They've had some recognition from some reputable wine sources so I had very high expectations for the wine. In, short, the wines were very good. They had a nice selection from rose to the more Lodi styled red wines. I really did enjoy all the wines and the price point seems fair. I guess I was kinda hoping to meet the winemaker, learn more about their vineyards and purpose for growing certain varietals. When you get wine with a story it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I really like this place and I'm hoping to make a stronger connection with the business since I consider myself an advocate for Lodi wines since my hobby is to compare our wines with the best out in the other regions of CA. Pretty heavy competition but so far Lodi is more than able to compete with certain types of wines aka Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Syrah and occasionally Cabernet.

Very bird-friendly; you can hear the birds chirping away. I love it! They have bird houses and hummingbird feeders hanging throughout the trees. The service was wonderful. Very friendly and social--which I love to see at wineries. Their wines are very good. I'm not a big fan of white wines, but I figured I'd try their white and rosé wines. I'll try their red blends the next time we visit. With that being said, I recommend their wines and if you are able to, I would definitely go visit their winery so you can enjoy their wines while relaxing and listening to the birds.

So here's the question. What does one do in the mid afternoon, after a brunch, after much food and…read morewine ? Well, you go for more wine (of course)!!! Pretty venue. Clean establishment and friendly service. They have a "Dome" you can sit and sip BUT, that Dome is limited to 6 humans. Or, you could sit in their winery which is practical because their tasting comes off a tap. You make your selection and off you go. The concept reminds me of a Honolulu's Amuse Wine Bar. Reasonably priced.... if that is type of venue you enjoy, meaning "press and pour" then, this is the place for you. Post script and/or footnote! Thank you Alexi for planning the brunch and Thank you Mitzi for making the arrangements at Peltier! #flyforfirends #flyforwine #yelpohana #yelpfriends

Wine and Bubbles baby! [Acampo CA]…read more Our party of 10 had a scheduled visit at 2:00p. We reserved a dome that can only fit 6 people max at any time. The rest of us made ourselves comfortable in the tasting room. Except for me, our group enjoyed the wine station tasting which was a state-of-the-art, intelligent, wine dispensing and preservation system. It's the first of a kind I've ever seen which was very cool. Some people might have different opinions about this set up, I get that but this gave the guests the freedom to explore wine according to their palate preferences and doesn't waste a drop. Each were given a card that would track each person's tab. For me, I enjoyed the ZANTE Cocktailz ($12) - the spritz-mas included white grapefruit juice, honey syrup, lemon juice, ZANTE White, ice, candied lemon garnish. The owners/staff were very friendly and helpful. Review #3975

Upon arriving, I could already feel the serenity of this winery. The weather was perfect when we went, as the sun was shiny brightly, and the trees surrounding us gave us perfect shade. Dogs and children are allowed, making this such a family friendly winery. They have a covered area that is perfect for large parties also, adding a touch of privacy. We were fortunate to have live music, which added to the relaxing time we had at Macchia Wines. We appreciate how they allow us to bring our own food, so we could pair the wines with our food for our picnic. We enjoyed the flights we tasted so much, that we each bought more than one bottle to enjoy back home. Thank you to the staff who took care of us at Macchia Wines!

She did a great job and gave us other tastings that were not on the tasting menu. Wonderful whites and their Grenache Blanche and Grenache Rose were to die for!!! We bought 5 bottles which included the two mentioned along with a Viognier, and two other whites. I would give 5 stars but knocking one off only because most wineries waive tasting fees with a wine purchase which is great because you feel like you're getting a perk from making a purchase. With that being said will we back?? Probably, their food and wine pairing is a perk enough and buying their wine is just another bonus since it's delicious!!!

Free Wine Tasting/Friendly Staff…read more What first drew me to Dancing Coyote was their name--sounding whimsical and Southwestern. When we drove up to their site, I wasn't really sure where it was located as the existing buildings looked like old industrial buildings, not your standard winery and tasting room. My partner and I guessed it had been a granary--it was built in 1868 right next to the raIlroad tracks, and was later converted into a winery in the early 1900s. Back then that initial winery became famous for their Port, and also made vinegar and brandy. We sat at the tables outside. I asked the server if anyone was living in the tall granary tower because we had noticed that the windows looked like they were fitted with stained glass. She answered with a chuckle, that only ghosts live there. Dancing Coyote has an interesting history. It is family run, and they have been farming the Delta region for five generations. They grow and harvest the grapes. They also do the crushing, aging and handcrafting the final product. The winemaker uses natural wild yeast that derives from the surfaces of the grapes to actually ferment the products on the flight that we tasted - they were really good and yummy on their own natural merits with a bright finish. Of course, I had to run around and experience this winery's own unique brand with my own eyes and camera in hand. There were several fig trees in which I found a perfectly ripe fig to eat. There was was this orange stuff "growing" on some of the outside walls that I had to touch, and then scratch my head because I couldn't figure out what it was. Near the fig trees, hidden from the eyes of most.of the two-leggeds that visit the winery, is a diagram painted on a rather large propane tank. Who painted it? Was it a human that "dances with coyotes"? I tried and tried to duplicate the dance that the artist painted on the tank. The trickster that painted that mural is probably laughing at the thought of people trying to follow the dance diagram. Their flights were FREE!!! There were four different wines included: 3 whites and 1 red. I usually prefer drinking red over white, however, there was something uncommon with their white wines--a certain kind of freshness/aliveness. I really liked how it felt in my mouth. After tasting those wines she brought three more wines for us to taste. We fell in love with their 2016 Loureiro - a Portuguese varietal. They had a special for $48 for a case, and we snatched it up in a heartbeat. We plan to return in our next visit to the Lodi wine making region to the same place, and see what other new vinicultural gifts that they have to offer us.
