Why Wine Lovers Are Discovering Lodi
Lodi grows more wine grapes than any other region in California, yet its tasting rooms stay unhurried and personal. Many of its Zinfandel vines were planted over a century ago, giving the region its reputation as the state's Old Vine Zinfandel capital, alongside strong Rhone-style reds and small-lot whites poured by the winemakers themselves.
The growing region spans several distinct sub-appellations, each suited to a different style of Zinfandel and red blend.

Why Book Ambassador for Lodi
Lodi sits further from the Bay Area than Napa or Sonoma, so the drive itself matters. Our chauffeurs are licensed, background-checked, and briefed on the route before pickup, with buffer time built in for harvest-season traffic and tasting appointments.
The same fleet also covers weddings, corporate travel, and airport transfers across the wider Bay Area, so a Lodi wine tour can be booked alongside other trips through the same account.
