    Delicious

    Scotto's wine was great. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. I can't wait to go wine tasting there. They have different types of little wine cocktails so it's really good so if you're in downtown Lodi check out Scottos, wine and cider really good. We're walking around downtown Lodi and ran into this little place and now I'm gonna do a wine tour. I cannot wait.

    I just went in to check it out and they told me about the 50% off I ended up ordering a cocktail because they were really nice and the place was super cute. So far I have had excellent service. It's very clean it looks like it's brand new basically I love the decorations it's not too crowded the street parking was not too hard to find it's free after 5:00 p.m. except for Sundays and holidays. And this cherry cider is delicious.

    Located right in the heart of downtown Lodi, Scotto's has an open-air tasting room with outside seating. The day we visited, there was live music! A duo was doing cover songs and it added to the warm ambiance. Their tasting menu I believe was $15 and the fee is waived with the purchase of two (!!!) bottles. Personal rant, yeah maybe I'm old school, or maybe just old, but I recall the days when tastings were complimentary. I can see a tasting fee waived with one bottle purchase, but two seems a bit out of reach. You can choose four wines from a list of six. I love Lodi reds so I went straight there. The 2021 Pinot Noir ($30) was well-rounded, with berry and cherry notes. It was my favorite. Their 2020 red wine blend ($30) had a savory aroma on the nose, nothing really stood out for me. Next their Heavyweight 2021 Cab ($25) I found to be well-balanced and fruity, which is typical of the region for Cab. Finally their 2020 Petite Sirah ($30) had floral notes, lots of tannin and could probably lay this one down for a few years. Overall a great spot to spend an afternoon downtown. Honestly it's probably the best option if you want to try some Lodi wines and are downtown.

    Exploring Lodi with family. We didn't realize Lodi had become a huge winery scene. After visiting a couple of wineries, we visited downtown Lodi. Scotto's caught our attention as they have cider tastings, in addition to wines. Plenty of tables and we found ourselves in a welcoming environment. They have a variety of tasting options - maybe a bit on the pricey side, however. Although I really wanted to try the ciders, I decided to go with the Sparkle & POP tasting instead. Different, and I enjoyed the various cocktails offered. We were happy to find an "alcohol removed" wine tasting since there were some family members who were not drinkers. Comfortable spot, and we enjoyed our time there.

    Drinks are amazing. Ciders and wine and cocktails are sooo good. The atmosphere is very friendly and fun. Love the staff and coloring with markers or pencils while you drink cider or wine. Visited yesterday. It was so fun seeing adults come in, look at the coloring paper and markers, with a huff saying who colors? We are adult! Then see them a few minutes later picking the coloring sheet and creating a masterpiece

    Cotton candy sparkle pop

    Let's start off with having cotton candy with your bubbly is a must! It's looks cute and is great combination with a sparkling wine or champagne. This wine bar is in downtown Lodi and street parking is your only option. I believe it's 90 mins in most spaces. The host allowed us to taste a couple of wines before we chose and that was very helpful in us deciding. It was as about $12 per glass with the cotton candy. They have plenty of bar and seating options. I definitely will be back soon !

    Great service, ambiance, live music, snacks and drinks! We were so grateful for the hospitality and knowledge from the team.

    This place is always a 10 out of 10! I remember coming here when it first open way back in the day. I partner and I were back in town for the vet at my grad school and we had to check out my favorite little spots. I really liked this flight because it's reasonably priced, you got a lot to drink, and the team there she's so friendly! They still had the games that you can place my partner and I stayed for a little bit and played some games. Can't wait to come back!

    We had an hour until our olive oil tasting so we strolled into Scotto's. Holly greeted us with a smile that was infectious so we sidled up to the bar and dove into the menu. She shared the highlights of the menu and we made our choices. I thought the Chardonnay Peach sounded lovely and he had the Wild Cherry cider. A sip or two in and I quickly realized the peach was mostly vanilla - nice but not something I'd order again. I had the Chardonnay Pear and it was delightfully crisp and refreshing, exactly what I needed to jump start the afternoon. He enjoyed his cider...he would have had another but we had to jet to our next tasting. Had a terrific conversation with Holly and the manager - a load of fun and some good laughs for sure. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and not expected to get busy until a little later so we were able to enjoy the convo and sipping in a great setting. I meant to grab a couple bottles of Rosé but darn it, I was in a hurry to make our next appointment...I rushed and forgot. My brain is crazy like that, but heck it gives us an excuse to go back! Delectable ciders, and loads of wine choices, the staff were super friendly I could have spent a couple hours there. P.S. Holly gave me an excellent jalapeño olive oil tip...wholly hummus, it's now my favorite snack! Right in downtown Lodi, lots of parking (provided you're patient). Great spot for sure.

Although the grounds are very nice the entire experience was a let down. The tasting room is very utilitarian and not at all what I expected for a comfortable wine tasting experience. Although there are a multitude of pleasant outdoor spaces to linger and lounge while sipping wine it seems set up and better suited to small groups of 10 or more. There's a restaurant in the main tasting room that was packed crowded. The offerings must be good. The ambiance was similar to a Cracker Barrel. There's lots of merchandise for sale and I was surprised how basic the place felt, nothing special. When we asked at the tasting counter if we could get a glass of the Petite Petit, the wine we were introduced to by friends, the answer was a very gruff and emphatic, NO. The man seemed annoyed we asked. It would have been nice to be offered an alternative. That really turned me off although we ended up buying two bottles anyway. So, Freakshow. Rather strange and peculiar labeling and marketing, but it does catch one's attention. I had to wonder if the inspiration came from the TV series American Horror Story of the same name? The Petite Petit is a deep hearty rich blend of red wine with a lot of depth. It isn't very expensive but the taste is both bold and rich. It was nice walking around the outdoor areas and gardens but there didn't seem to be much energy out there, maybe a weekday and/or too early in the days? I had to wonder if they get folks coming off I-5 since the major highway is so close. Hence the more basic tourist approach. In any case it's an OK place but in short order I was ready to move on to another winery.

The grounds, buildings and tasting room are beautiful, a sophisticated rustic cabin appeal with manicured landscaping and a craftsman style main building.

As there weren't many folks doing a tasting on a weekday we got VIP treatment and had a deljghtful conversation, and education about the wines, from the person pouring for us. We really enjoyed our stay and the surroundings made it extra nice. Compared to the hype of Napa and Sonoma this winery and others in the Lodi area are down to earth and affordable in comparison, especially for tastings. This place very much is worth a visit. Sitting outside to sip a bottle must be delightful too.

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.
