Lodi

Perfectly situated between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is Lodi Wine Country, an area that is quickly becoming one of California's top wine destinations. This city holds many wine themed events throughout the year, for example the "ZinFest" and the "Lodi Grape Festival". The Lodi Appellation has a classic Mediterranean climate featuring warm days and cool evenings. Located 100 miles east of the San Francisco Bay at the edge of the San Joaquin/Sacramento River Delta, cool “delta breezes” give this region a small and reliable wind throughout the grape growing season. Lodi receives the majority of its 17 annual rainfall in the winter.
