Overview

Wilson Family Winery is a family-owned winery devoted to producing small-batch, artisanal wines that express the distinctive character of Lodi's renowned winegrowing region. Each bottle speaks to quality, tradition, and local terroir, offering wine lovers a warm setting in which to find something different.

Family is at the heart of Wilson Family Winery. Husband-and-wife owners JR and Krystal Wilson turned a longstanding enthusiasm for winemaking into a winery after years spent running their chiropractic practice together. Their entrepreneurial energy and appreciation for handcrafted wines remain central to the tasting experience.

A Lodi native, JR belongs to a family with three generations of wine-grape farming in the area. That agricultural legacy informs the winery’s wines, including Hide Tide, a small-lot white wine made with Tokay. Tokay is one of Lodi's oldest and most historic grape varieties, and the grapes used for Hide Tide come from the Wilson family's vineyards.

Guests can taste carefully made wines in a friendly setting while learning about the stories, traditions, and skill behind each pour. For both first-time explorers of Lodi wine country and returning visitors seeking a new favorite, Wilson Family Winery provides a memorable experience grounded in family, community, and local winemaking traditions.
