Vino Piazza (Closed – Search other Lodi wineries here)

I LOVE LODI! - If you have not been to Lodi, you don\'t know how much fun and how very inexpensive wine tasting can be. And, Lodi has GREAT wines and GREAT prices.

If you are in Lodi, you should it is worth the drive to go out of your way to visiting this plaza. The Tuscan Winery Village is actually in Lockeford, CA, right next to Lodi. It is an incubator for new winemakers so the wineries change form time to time. There are storefronts for many more, so hopefully more new winemakers will join. Many of the previous winemakers have graduated to their own wineries and tasting rooms.

When we were there, there were three wineries, Boitanto, Passos, and Stama. Boitano had some very nice wines at amazing prices! Stama had a brand new and very inexperience young hostess, which made the visit fun. She is very nice and if still there, has a lot more experience now. Stama was some what more traditional, with a comfortable tasting bar and nice selection of wines. (Please see individual reviews for mo

I love this place! What a jewel in the heart of the Lodi wine country (well, close to the heart!). We visited Boitano, Watts, & Stama when we were there. I already wrote a review for Watts but I thoroughly enjoyed their reds & bought about half a dozen wines. Ernie liked the zin at Stama & we bought a bottle of barbera at Boitano. Macchia does not have its' own location so I will review them here. I bought a bottle of their late harvest zin without tasting it & was not disappointed.

I was told later that the winery only makes a limited number of wines offering them to wine club members as a perk. Missed opportunity for the winery as I believe they can always make exceptions for those of us who buy their wine because we enjoy them & not necessarily because we are club members.

I loved the fact that visiting this winery was like taking a step back in time. It was classic and there was so much to take in that I was in love with the area after only being there for an hour. I spent the entire afternoon there and still felt that I could return and see something new. The fact that there was a giant replica of a T-Rex was amazing to me, call me a big kid but I don't care that was awesome.

We rolled in here after visiting Berghold and only made it to one of the twelve tasting rooms. The wine here was okay but very disappointing compared to Berghold.
