Discover Lodi’s Wine Tours
Lodi’s wine country brings together charm, flavor, and an easygoing atmosphere. Taking a Lodi wine tour is one of the best ways to experience it.
Whether the occasion is a friends’ celebration or a restful weekend away, visitors can choose from stylish, enjoyable ways to taste through Lodi’s award-winning wineries. Vintage trolleys, party buses, and private limousines each offer a different approach to the experience.
Lodi Wine Trolley
For a social, playful, and photo-worthy way to see Lodi’s wine country, the Lodi Wine Trolley is a standout choice. Its vintage design pairs old-fashioned character with modern comfort, creating a memorable setting for wine tasting.
The trolley accommodates up to 20 passengers. It suits couples, groups of friends, and solo wine lovers who would like to share the day with other guests.
Two public weekend tours are offered:
Taste of Lodi Tour – Saturdays
The Saturday experience begins with check-in at Scotto’s Wine & Cider in downtown Lodi, followed by a sparkling wine toast. The trolley then travels to three wineries, each with its own atmosphere and setting.
The ticket costs $149.45 after taxes and fees — check the Lodi Wine Trolley website for current pricing as rates may change seasonally. Tastings and a deli lunch are included in the ticket costs. Guests also receive discounts on bottle purchases at wineries and downtown eateries for use after the tour.
Sipping on Sunday Tour – Sundays
Those with less time or a preference for a slower rhythm can choose the Sunday option. It visits two wineries rather than three while still providing lunch and the celebratory trolley experience.
