A Lodi Family Legacy

The Phillips family has farmed in Lodi since the 1860s, creating a history extending beyond 150 years. The family’s roadside fruit stand eventually became a bonded winery in 1984, when fifth-generation grape growers and brothers Michael and David Phillips turned their agricultural heritage into one of California’s most recognizable wine brands.

That tradition now continues with the sixth generation. Their work remains centered on sustainable farming, community involvement, and innovative winemaking. With deep ties to their home region, the family is committed to protecting Lodi’s agricultural heritage for generations to come.

Commitment to Sustainability

Michael David Winery produces wines responsibly in Lodi through the Lodi Rules sustainability program. The program contains more than 100 standards addressing environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. The result is a commitment to bottles that represent both quality winemaking and care for the region’s future.
