Every time…read morewe visit Calivirgin Winery in Lodi, we always hope Rachelle is there--and that alone says a lot. She has a way of making each visit feel special without trying too hard. She's welcoming, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable, but never overwhelming. Instead, she creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and come back again. What really sets her apart is her consistency. It's not just one great visit--every time we've been there, she's gone above and beyond with the same positive energy and attention to detail. Because of her, this winery has become our go-to spot. I even celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was such a memorable experience. All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing Rachelle was--everyone felt taken care of, comfortable, and truly impressed with the service. The winery itself is beautiful, accommodating, and perfect for gatherings, which made the celebration even better. On top of that, the entire team at Calivirgin is fantastic. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. The wine is excellent, the setting is great, and the people are what truly make this place stand out for us. We'll absolutely keep coming back, and a big reason for that is Rachelle.

We stood 6+ people deep line of customers waiting to be acknowledged. There were a lot of other employees working... walking past us and chilling.

We ultimately had a good time and Sophia was good to us at the bar.

We sampled a wonderful range of wines from their tasting menu, including the Prosecco DOCG, Vermentino, Grenache Blanc, Zinfandel, Barbera, and a bold Petite Sirah. Every wine was impressive--balanced, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. My favorite is the Prosecco DOCG is an Italian import ~ (DOCG stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita, which is Italian for "Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin) ...it is amazing! Always leave with several bottles! When it's open ~ their wine cave adds a unique and memorable touch to the tasting experience The olive oil and salt tasting is also an added bonus...fantastic. The Tuscan Salt is my FAVORITE!! The staff is always the friendliest we've encountered, and their knowledge of both the wines and the local region always enhance the visit. We always feel welcomed (even without a reservation) and unrushed, and they consistently make the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable. It's not fancy, it's just cool. We loved it so much we joined their wine club and enjoy all the benefits that come with that! Bella Grace delivers exceptional wine, a relaxed and scenic setting, and top-notch hospitality/service. As crazy as it sounds, this place feels like home every time we go. Everything wrapped up together lends to a great experience. Can't wait to go back!

The little store was located in a vineyard setting and was quite cozy. They carried a few gourmet food items, such as stuffed olives and of course, olive oil. But, I was stoked to find out that they sold olive oil that came in a variety of flavors. What was great is that the offered tastings of each of their flavors, by just soaking a morsel of sourdough bread. I remember buying their Jalapeno olive oil, which lasted me a long time. It definitely brought out an extra flair to whatever I had cooking. Gold Hill is definitely worth checking out if you're in town!

We went into many of the shops in the town of Murohy and we did not have a bad experience. This particular store was ran by one woman and she was kept busy. Since I was there with a bridal party, we decided to do a taste testing which is relatively cheap. She'll give you a clipboard and you get to choose six different types of either oil or vinaigrette. And if you'd like you can purchase a little bag of bread to dip which I highly recommend. If you like any of the flavors that you've chosen, you can then purchase a full bottle. This was a new experience for me. I had never tried something like this before and was pleasantly surprised. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the traditional vinaigrette. I would definitely go back to Murphy's just for this experience as well as the other shops in the area but this particular location was really nice. Outside there was a seating area and a pretty little garden nearby which added to the ambiance and overall experience of the taste testing.
