Lodi wines for tasting, purchase and by-the-glass at ZinFest Festival

2015 ZinFest Scene

2015 ZinFest Festival

Are you ready for Lodi’s 2015 ZinFest Festival, happening this coming Saturday, May 16?

Starting at 12 Noon in the gorgeous Lodi Lake Park, ZinFest wine lovers will be able to not only taste over 200 Lodi grown wines made by the region's best producers, they will be able to purchase most of these wines at the Zinfandel Wine Shoppe, conveniently located at the entrance of the festival grounds (where caravans of golf carts will be lined up to transport you and your bottles to the front parking lot).

Needless to say, we don't expect any of our ZinFester to taste everything, since this is not humanly possible. And so to help you plan on what you might want to taste ahead of time, we are furnishing a list (below) of the wines our producers are planning to pour, as well as offer for sale.

Yes, the winery tables can get crowded with fellow wine enthusiasts. At any given time, there will be plenty of opportunity to just lay back and take a load off your feet on the lush grass or tables and chairs placed all over Lodi Lake Park, in front of the big music stage or on plush sofas around the ZinFest Piano Bar, if not under the shade of the big tents of our ZinFest Cooking School or Wine School. One way or another, we got you covered in the relaxation department.

In addition, if you want to sit in one place and enjoy some vino, it is will also be possible to purchase 5 oz. pours of wine ($7/glass) at the Wine-by-the-Glass booth located adjacent to the main entertainment stage. The wines that will be available by the glass are notated in our list below.

How does that grab you? If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, be sure to visit zinfest.com. Meantime, our ZinFest wine list:
