Vineyards in Lodi country cover over 75, 000 acres and there are nearly 60 great wineries, leaders of grape production with premium wine grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The history of grape growing in Lodi vineyards dates in the 1800's after gold miners became farmers after which they discovered that the region was capable of supporting wine vineyards. Presently, Lodi Wineries are well developed and among the leading wine touring destinations in the nation. 36 wineries in the country have their own tasting rooms and offer wine lovers outstanding experiences.
