Our Vineyards - Lodi

Situated in the heart of California at the confluence of the Consumnes and Mokelumne Rivers, the Lodi/Woodbridge region enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm dry summers, cool moist winters, and distinctive sandy soils which makes for ideal growing conditions.

Grapes have always been a part of the local landscape, growing wild along the riverbanks. The first vineyard was established in 1850 and over the next century vineyards and wineries began sprouting up throughout the Lodi region. In 1986 Lodi wines were recognized for their unique quality and given a credibility boost when the Lodi Appellation (American Viticulture Area) was approved.

The Stokes family has been growing premium wine grapes since Bill senior planted his first vineyard in 1954. They combine the best of tradition with the most modern advances of science, technology, and sustainable viticulture practices, preserving the land for generations to come.
