Found another yummy wine to add to my short list of favorite wines. The Verdelho is amazing; especially served very chilled! I had a lovely experience and we bought a few bottles to hang outside the beautiful patio and sip away until they closed. I'll be for sure returning! read more

Note: There are some terrible reviews of event/weddings at this venue, this review is based only on the tasting experience. We've been to St. Jorge three times and each time the experience has been exceptional. The wine makers (husband and wife pair) take great care to educate visitors about the wine they make. Each taste is accompanied by either cheese, bread or chocolate (small potions) but you are there to taste not eat! The delicious Portuguese bread is also available for purchase if you'd like a little nosh. We loved the whites and the Tempernillo. On our last visit we were treated to a barrel tasting and tour, since we made a reservation to show a senior colleague and his family around. The folks at St. Jorge made our trip and our guests were impressed. If you are heading in with guests let them know in advance and you'll see some small town hospitality with old world charm. read more

Highly recommend St Jorge if you are looking to try wines from Portugal. The staff was extremely gracious and friendly! They pair the wines with food and the tastings are cheap! The winery itself is beautiful; it's a great place to bring something to eat and enjoy on the property with some of their wines. read more

Really loved the Italian villa feel of St. Jorge. Our favorite that we tasted was the Verdelho, a delicious white wine, and our wine of choice is usually red. Stopped here during the First Sip event the weekend of November 13-14. Lodi wineries are definitely a hidden secret:) read more

It only seems appropriate that the first review I write on Yelp would also be the first for the company I am reviewing. In fact when I was discussing ways for them to bring in more business and I mentioned Yelp, they looked at me quizzically. So tell them how you found them. You drive up to this place and as you look at the property from the road you kind of tilt your head a bit. To be honest, it doesn't look like much. But as you pull into the basic parking lot and get out of your car, you hear the music playing, and you think "okay, we may have something here". You walk through a decorative gate into a courtyard that seems straight out of Italy, complete with a beautiful fountain and Andrea Bocelli serenading you. And you instantly feel miles away from the country road that is just outside the walls. Go inside and you find a quaint tasting room. Small, artfully decorated, feeling as though you were inside someone's home, not just a business. And rounding out that feeling, you will find that behind the counter are the owners themselves, pouring their wine. A nice touch you don't always find, even among the small family wineries in the Lodi region. And alas, if you feel like a snack, you will find something else rare for this area...food pairings! Sure there is a $5 tasting fee, but it is oh so worth it. You get the fee applied to the wine you purchase, and you will be buying wine. Quick rundown: Their Alicante was my least favorite of the wines I tasted. But make no mistake, I would still not hesitate to drink it if it was offered at a party. Their Verdelho and Zinfandel are both very solid. And they have a white dessert wine whose name for the life of me I can not remember. Sweet but light, not overly syrupy. But the shining star is their Tempranillo. This grape is popular in the Lodi region, and having been to probably twenty of the area's wineries, St. Jorge's Tempranillo is easily my favorite. Relaxing surroundings, unpretentious people and well-priced tasty wine to boot. That's a pretty good combination. And maybe, just maybe, if you ask nicely they will take you downstairs and let you sample some future delights straight out of the barrel. read more

Absolutely stunning venue for any event. From the fountains to the bathrooms, St Jorge went all out in building and decor. Friendly service, funny, the owner of Macchia told us that St. Jorge was a must. They were classy enough not to takle us for $5 when we walked in the door. In fact, they never mentioned it. These wines were delicious as were the cheese and breads we were offered for pairing, nice touch. You must make this a stop if you are traveling through Lodi. Even with the elegance, the feel was warm and inviting. read more

Worst Experience Ever. I recently visited this winery during the Wine and Chocolate event. I brought a number individuals on a tour bus to experience the annual celebration that I have enjoyed for several years. My group was well mannered and spent a fair amount of money on food and pairing items. The owner brought in an individual to help with the event that forgot that his role was to introduce their product to the visitors and provide an environment that customers would want to return to. This individual was rude, obnoxious and more concerned with talking with individuals that he knew, rather than doing his job. It was almost as if people were bothering him when he was providing a tasting (if you can call it that). Highly disappointed that the owner would bring in such an individual for this high profile event. I have taken this establishment off my places to visit. What a shame!! As a side note - I had begun to bring several of my customers into the winery because of the great customer service displayed by the women in the tasting room. That will certainly end now. read more

Cute winery on the outside and the inside was very intricate. The wine itself was good I especially liked the Verdlho. I liked the food pairing they did with the wine. The staff was quiet and not the friendliest so that's why I gave this a 3 star. read more

Stunning place wine was great but very overpriced! The ladies actually said oh you are helping us pay for our renovation umm well hmm I wish they would of told us this before we did our tasting we left with a bottle of wine for $58 I'm sorry not worth it! Like I said it was good but not that good to have to pay this much for your tasting and bottle nope never again. We drink higher end wines and this isn't one of them. You have small crying children running around no way this is not what I want to see or spend my money on.. I was so bummed to go back and pay this much for a bottle of wine. read more

I can't even put into words how absolutely perfect this venue is!! It all starting with a little drop in wine tasting and it led to the most beautiful wedding! Jenise and her staff are so easy to work with! They made my wedding the best night of my life!! I will always talk this venue up, until I'm blue in the face! The whole world needs to stop in and enjoy this gorgeous winery. read more

Love this place. I have been twice and highly recommend. They serve a wine boat with 6 wines and 6 food pairings. It serves up to 3 people . You serve yourself and I love the idea. You don't have to wait for the next pour. Especially when they are busy. I truly loved all the wines. This was our groups favorite spot of the day. read more

Don't waste your time trying to enjoy this winery. My first experience was bad. However I thought perhaps the owner Jenise or whatever her name is was just having a bad day. Well seems everyday isn't her day. She is EXTREMELY RUDE!! And with all the money she has why hasn't she had her teeth fixed? This will certainly be the last time I visit this place. I would not recommend this Winery to anyone! You can have all the money in the wirld lady. However if it makes you so rude and bitchy towards your customers give it up!!! read more

Very friendly staff and good wine. Had never been to a Portuguese winery before, and was glad we went.

Nice winery with good wine. However, was supposed to have my rehearsal dinner here in two months and they have cancelled because they are no longer allowed to have events! I feel awful for the brides that were to have their weddings here. read more

Excellent tasting of reds and whites. Very knowledgeable tainting room staff. Here's a place with class and ambiance. I have this spot bookmarked for the future. read more

Really cool place with food pairings with your tasting! There was a cookie, bread, crackers, cheese, and chocolate. Each paired with a wine. Wine was good too. Will definitely be back. read more

St. Jorge Winery is my absolute favorite Lodi winery. The atmosphere is gorgeous and the wine is delicious. I highly recommend tasting and/or having an event on the grounds because of the beautiful surroundings, amazing service and luxurious feel that you get while here. Love this place :) read more

St Jorge Winery - Wineries Near Me - Acampo, California

St Jorge was a pleasant surprise from the Lodi region. The venue is obviously a newer construction but the grounds and decor are absolutely beautiful and would be a great venue for a wedding or party. We were the only couple there yesterday for tasting and the owner's made us feel like old family friends. The wines they are tasting are unique and not something you're going to find anywhere else outside of Europe. Typically we are big bold red drinkers but we absolutely loved everything they were sampling. The fee was 5 bucks and it's refunded with wine purchase. You will want to pick up a bottle because if you don't more then likely you'll end up regretting it. If you like the big box store wine tasting's and vineyards then this place IS NOT FOR YOU! If you instead like to sample wines with the winemaker/owner and actually talk about grapes and flavors and what makes the product unique then this is a must on your next trip. They also do some great pairing's to really bring out the complex flavors of their wines. Keep up the good work guys and we can't wait to see you on our next trip! read more

I had a great visit to this winery with my family, their wines are amazing. I loved there wines so much my family and I bought many bottles. Now that my supply is empty I became a wine club member. I'm very pleased and happy with my choice in going with St. Jorge Winery. Thank you! read more

I have always loved this winery, every time I have come with friends, we are never disappointed. The location is tucked away quietly surrounded by their vineyards, it's a peaceful Mediterranean setting for a winery that specializes in unique varietals from Portugal, France and Italy, but of course they have a great Old Vine Zin -- its Lodi after all. The hospitality is wonderful, and the food pairings really make for an excellent tasting experience. Everything is done with class and elegance. The owners are usually on site, and they have a real passion for their wines and their customers. I highly recommend visiting and also suggest tasting their Syrah, the Tempranillo & the Cabernet Sauvignon. The one White wine that I love coming back for is their Verdelho, it's pretty incredible on a hot summer day. Lastly, they probably make the best Port in the entire region, it's amazing. read more

Excellent customer service! Understood the needs of their customers and were able to allow a large party in 30 minutes before to buy wine! Very kind staff and their wine and atmosphere is something to be experienced. Don't let this winery slip by when planning for your next wine tasting trip. They made our trip end on a great wine note! Thanks! read more

This is by far my favorite winery in the area. Beautiful grounds, nice people & GREAT wines.

This has to be one of my most favorite wineries in Lodi. The grounds are not expansive but are very quaint and well maintained. The tasting room is very comfortable and the folks working there make your experience relaxing and comfortable! They also have an amazing Tempranillo(spel?) Definitely will always stop when we are in town! read more

Very friendly staff and pretty property. I only give it 2 stars because we really just didn't care for the wine, I believe that most of the varietals were Portuguese . What we did enjoy though was the fact that they pair all of the wines with a cheese, bread, or chocolate...not something you find a lot at wineries. read more

I loved the Verdelho white here, especially with the Topo cheese they sell. It's a great pairing!

The red dessert wine was fantastic! Their Portuguese sweet bread to die for! The tasting room staff took such great care of us....by far the best stop on our trip! read more

This place was beautiful on the outside but the inside was all over the place. Old style jukebox on one wall, painting of a naked woman on another, and curio's with a hodgepodge of items in them. The wine was so-so. Not great but not bad. The real buzz kill was the woman (who I assume was the wife of the owner) kept talking about her boat and all of the pompous things they have and are going to do with it. It sounded like an episode of an old "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". read more

Great service, friendly staff and great wines with small food pairings. Will defiantly go back

I just love this winery! They make their wine in the Portuguese style and everything we tried was delicious. My favorite was the Syrah but you can't go wrong with anything, red or white. They do lovely pairings of cheeses and Portuguese sweetbread to complement the wines. We were served by Brooke, the owners niece both times we visited. She was pleasant and informative. The five dollar tasting fee is applied to purchase read more

Vern and Jeanice are some of the nicest people my husband and I have ever met. This winery is so beautiful and warm. We love the wine and the hospitality. We look forward to coming to taste in the most beautiful tasting room as well. It is well worth the trip. Can't wait to spend more time at this winery. We are truly blessed to have found this little get away. Bob and Jo read more

This review is divided into two distinct parts: (1) wine and (2) customer service. (1) St.Jorge gets 5 stars for their wine. They focus on Portuguese varietals, of which I am not supremely familiar, but found today that I very much enjoy. Prices vary from ~$16-$35. We purchased their Verdelho and the Alicante Bouschet. Brought both bottles to a house warming dinner and everyone was pleased. Enough said about that... great wine. (2) Customer service gets 1 star... 2 at maximum. My fiance and I were the only people in the tasting room at 11am on a Saturday. Our intention was to scope out the location as a potential wedding venue, but we eliminated it quickly due to lack of shade. Nonetheless, we stayed to try their wine. The winery had just opened for the day and it appeared as though they were setting up for an event, with some wedding-themed decorations scattered about. I thought it was a bit strange that they wouldn't have removed these items before opening, but no big deal. We entered the tasting room... the empty tasting room. Nobody around. We hung out for a a minute when a woman appeared. She seemed flustered that we were there and totally unprepared. Again, no big deal... we were there RIGHT at opening, so we probably were a bit unexpected. She gives us each their complete wine menu, then rattles off the wines available for tasting today. After about the second wine, I lost track. A tasting menu would have been helpful. Her pours were generous and the wine was fantastic (see #1). Unfortunately, her attitude was the factor that brings down this review. We were no more than a sip into the wine when she launches in to a story about how the wedding from the night before was too rowdy and how they were suppose to have arrived to clean up the decorations and pick up their gifts. Um... ok. Now I'm uncomfortable. We originally were there to scout the location for wedding and all she's doing is complaining about the wedding party. Does she treat everyone this way? She pours our second tasting without so much as mentioning what she's giving us and the phone rings. She answers and spends several minutes on the phone, trying to find her husband's cell number and being generally loud and complaining about yet another thing. We're are now done with our tasting and just standing there. We can't carry on a conversation between us because she's being loud. Great. She hangs up the phone, apologizes, then walks to the window and starts tapping and frantically gesturing to a gentleman outside. At some point, she realizes that we're just standing there and gives us our third pour, accompanied by some Portuguese bread. Awesome pairing. Now the gentleman comes into the tasting room and she launches in to a LOUD complaining session about the person on the phone... "how dare they... do they know it's Saturday? What do they expect? BLAH BLAH BLAH." ::sigh:; I've had it with her. Fast-forward through the rest of the tasting and her complaining about the wedding party, etc to another few people. We bought two bottles of wine (again, great wine!!) and left feeling totally uncomfortable. We do plan on returning to try the wine and are really hoping that we caught her on an "off day." But for now, 5 stars for wine, 1-2 for service. read more

I have never posted a negative review about a business before. We were victims of this businesses poor ethics. My daughters wedding was cancelled 8 weeks prior to their event. The owner was dishonest with us regarding the reason behind them cancelling our wedding and the fact that she claimed to have an alternate venue that was available for us. She explained to us that they lost their events permit, when in fact we found out later they did not have the proper permit to begin with. They should not have taken our deposit to start with. We received our deposit back with a VERY weak apology. They should be ashamed of themselves for the chaos they caused so many families. read more

Our wine trip to Lodi was one Zin after anothter until we found this place. Love the Portuguese variatles here. They also pair their different wines with cheese and sweet bread from Portugal. Had a great time talking with the owner Vern and his wife. Unique tasting experience! read more

Great outdoor space for tasting. Dog friendly. They don't comp your tasting even when you buy a bottle.

Very nice place, good wine, decent prices and nice owners. We went in on the last stop of the day and were greeted with a flight of their 4 wines and paired with specially selected foods. I remember the Verdelho with the sheep's cheese and the Zin with chocolate the most. Everything was pretty good down the board. The place looks like a Villa in Italy. Perhaps a bit contrived, but it's nice and it works. The thing I love about tasting in Lodi is that you get to meet the wine makers and chat with the owners. You get to learn about their process and see how they make their product. It's a new place so I highly suggest everyone check it out. read more

We arrived at the winery and there were no guest in the tasting room. We were greeted politely by a young lady. We said there were six of us and asked if they gave industry (we are all in the wine industry) discount. The young lady said yes. An older woman, perhaps the owner, turned her back to us and started speaking to another young woman. When they noticed I could hear them, the older woman called the other woman to the back. The first woman started to tell us what they offered, when the other woman appeared, interrupted her and told us it would be more money to taste, and we had to do full flights with food, no5 individual tastes. We again asked about industry discount and suddenly that was not offered. We left. Sorry for them, we purchased a good amount of wine from each palace we visited. Over our stay we visited 8 wineries, purchased from each, and were treated with warmth and hospitality, except for St. George. Too many other delightful wineries to visit, don't waste your time here. read more

Visited this winery today. I loved every wine they were pouring today. They do whole berry fermentation instead of crushing. The difference in flavor was phenomenal. Loved the Tempranillo and the Old Vine Zin. read more

Had a great time tasting there. The lady who poured I believe was the wine makers wife. She was very knowledgable and helpful and friendly. I loved the small food pairings with the various wines. They even poured for us several things not on the tasting menu, including an incredible dessert wine/port that paired beautifully with the cheese they provided. The focus here is on Portuguese varietals that grow well in the Lodi region, and they do a great job with them. Can't wait to go back. read more

Loved the tasting room. Really good wine with great sweet bread. Bring some food, buy some wine and enjoy the grounds!

Our party of 8 went wine tasting today in Lodi and St. Jorge has the best service and best wine (flight to flight) of the four wineries we visited. Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgable. Thanks you for such a great experience! read more
