Lodi is the wine of the 209. Zinfandel capital of America — that's not marketing, the AVA grows about 40% of California's Zin. Hundred-plus wineries circle the city, half of them open weekends.
Downtown Lodi has the wine-bar density to match: School Street is the move. The Mokelumne crossings, Lodi Lake, and the cherry blossoms at Hutchins Street Square keep the daytime calendar full.
Eat at Pietro's, drink at Wine and Roses or Phillips Farms, and don't leave without stopping at Michael David. Lodi is the easiest weekend in the 209 to recommend.
