Lodi Harvest Celebration
November 12 & 13, 2011 | 11am – 4pm
Savor the first sip of the 2011 vintage. Embark on a self-guided tour of the appellation as you mingle with the winemakers of Lodi’s emerging wine scene. The First Sip will highlight the bounty of the winegrape harvest season through an array of hosted activities. Take a carriage ride through the vineyards, sample from the barrel, engage in a blending seminar or enjoy live entertainment.
With over 40 participating wineries, you’re sure to find a favorite Lodi wine. Buy a bottle for your next holiday party or keep it for yourself. We won’t tell.
