A Galentine’s Day Guide to Wine, Wellness, Creativity, and Nightlife in Lodi

Lodi, California makes it easy to plan a Galentine’s Day around the way your friend group likes to spend time together. Build your celebration around wine tasting, relaxation, creative projects, or a lively night out—or combine several ideas into a full weekend.

Wine Experiences for Friends Who Love to Sip

Make a Tasting Room the Gathering Place

Choose a welcoming tasting room where your group can settle in, chat, and enjoy a relaxed pour. Reserve space at Peltier Polar Lounge or the Zin Lounge at Harney Lane Winery.

Create a Small-Scale Wine Tour

Visit 2-3 wineries for a shorter tasting itinerary, or arrange a private group outing through one of the 3 different Wine Tour Services. Woo Girl! Cellars, Bokisch Vineyards, Scotto's Wine & Cider, and Nostra Vita Winery each offer tasting-room settings suited to a celebratory girls’ day.

Add Personal Touches

Self-Care Plans for the Wellness-Minded Group

Schedule a Spa or Beauty Appointment

A massage, facial, manicure, hair appointment, or another treatment can give the group a refreshing reset. Wine & Roses Spa and Perfect Balance Day Spa offer luxury experiences, while Salon Two Twenty provides the viral Head Spa Treatments. Reserve ahead for group plans.

Take a Class Together

Try yoga, fitness, dance, or another activity that gets everyone moving and laughing. Local wineries and businesses host yoga classes listed on the events calendar, including Goat Yoga with Spenker Family Farms. Pulse Fitness is another engaging boutique fitness studio for a shared group workout.

Creative Activities for Craft-Loving Friends

Paint Pottery and Ceramics

Painting ceramics gives everyone a creative activity as well as a keepsake to bring home. Reservations are available at The Mudmill and Meet The Maker.

Visit Scotto's Coloring Club

Scotto's Wine & Cider hosts Coloring Club every Sunday. The supplies are provided, so groups can color festive pages while enjoying local wine.

Spend Time with Baby Goats

Goodnight Goats at Spenker Family Farms offers an evening of reading and playing with baby goats as they settle down to sleep. Finish with a wine flight or a wine & cheese paring.

Ideas for the Night Out Group

Pair Cocktails with Dinner Downtown

Downtown Lodi is walkable, charming, and filled with independent businesses and restaurants. Reserve a table at Market Tavern for cocktails and appetizers, or choose Dancing Fox for a more whimsical setting with light bites and wine.

Add Music, Dancing, and Energy

For a louder evening, look for line dancing every third Friday of the month at Idol Beer Works or Karaoke Night at Five Window Beer Co. Singing and dancing make an easy transition from dinner into a late-night celebration.
