American Fare 2027 — Appellation Lodi

A Spring Culinary Event in Lodi

American Fare at Appellation Lodi joins Lodi’s spring event calendar as a new gathering focused on the chefs, growers, winemakers, and makers contributing to the region’s culinary identity. Taking place at Appellation Lodi at Wine & Roses Resort and Spa on Saturday, May 15, 2027, the event invites guests to experience Lodi through food, wine, local products, and community.

Lodi is known for events centered on wine, grapes, beer, and Italian heritage. American Fare adds a culinary event devoted to the chefs, growers, winemakers, and makers influencing the region today. Across the resort’s gardens and grounds, guests can explore 10 market-style tasting booths, with each booth bringing together a chef, a grower, and a winemaker to highlight Lodi’s ingredients, wines, and local talent.

The experience extends beyond the tasting booths with a curated artisan market, a build-your-own bloom bar, a Maison Lodi boulangerie stand, and a garden bar serving cocktails inspired by local ingredients. Together, these elements create a distinct sense of place and make American Fare more than a typical tasting event.

Featured culinary talent includes Chef and Appellation Hotels co-founder Charlie Palmer, who helps draw attention to the people and products defining the flavors of Lodi right now. Proceeds from American Fare support scholarships and educational funding for culinary and wine programs.

For anyone planning a spring weekend in Lodi, the event offers an opportunity to discover more of the destination, including its wineries, restaurants, shopping, and overnight accommodations.
