In the words of our late Robert Mondavi, “wine to me is passion. It’s family and friends. It’s warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It’s culture. It’s the essence of civilization and the art of living.” Learn what Mondavi was referring to while visiting his hometown wineries throughout Lodi Wine Country on Sunday, May 17. Peak behind the cellar door to get a sense of the magic that is happening in Lodi. Taste the full line of wines that our wineries produce. There will be special events, tastings, seminars and lots of fun at participating wineries!
