Lodi Wine

An old vine doesn’t survive by accident.

For generations, Lodi’s winegrowers have cared for vines planted long before most of us were born. Through changing seasons, hard years and a wine industry that keeps reinventing itself, they have made the choice to keep these vineyards growing.

Today Lodi is home to more old vine plantings than any other wine region in America. “Old vine” isn’t a regulated term, but 50 years in the ground is the common benchmark. Many of ours are well past a century, and still producing.

Each one is a living connection to our agricultural heritage, and keeping them here is getting harder. Their survival depends on the families who farm them, and on the people who choose to drink the wines they make.
