Italian inspired wines & menu planned for SIP SAVOR LODI Harvest Dinner under Lodi Arch
On the Friday night (6-9 PM) of September 25, 2015, Downtown Lodi‘s Pine Street (just below the landmark Lodi Arch) becomes one big, long open-air dining room, in the finest wine country town tradition.
The dinner will be prepared by Elaine Bell Catering (for over 30 years, one of California’s most celebrated wine country chefs); and the wines, of course, will be second-to-none. We have selected the best of the best for this event!
Although it is already almost completely booked, there are still a few seats left. Tickets are $125 per person, or $1,000 for reserved tables of 8 (21 years of age or older, please).
