6/12/2023 0 Comments Lodi grape festival![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Steps away from the heart of downtown Lodi, with a beautiful new tasting room, outdoor patio, and delicious Rhone varietals, McCay Cellars is a must! McCay Cellars is open daily from 11 am – 5 pm and from March to August they will be featuring “Market After” every Thursday evening from 5 pm – 7 pm with a new bottle special each week! 10. Not new to Lodi, but new to downtown is McCay Cellars! Michael McCay came to Lodi in the 1980’s, started making wine in 1994 and launched the McCay Cellars label in 2007. The 40-foot arch was built in 1907 to provide a grand entrance to the site of the first Lodi Grape Festival. Paris isn’t the only city with a famous arch. Lodi’s classic Mission Arch, topped with a 23-karat, gold-leaf-covered state bear, is a beloved focal point of the downtown area. Some of the murals are humorous, others historical, but all capture life as it was in Lodi. In commemoration of its 100thanniversary in May 2006, a group of artists called the Walldogs created nine colorful murals depicting the town’s fascinating heritage. Want to see amazing artwork without stepping into a museum or gallery? Just walk around Downtown Lodi. Top it off with a pizza made with organic grain that’s milled-where else?-on the premises! 7. Drink a glass of wine from its local vineyard or try one of their house-brewed beers. You’ll be dancing too when you step into this winery/brewery/bakery/restaurant, which takes “house-made” seriously. ![]() Science becomes entertainment when you build Lego cars engineered to go fast and straight down a ramp, manipulate clouds and rainbows, and take a peek inside your own eyeball! 6. You’ll plan to go to this hands-on museum for your kids, but you’ll leave realizing you loved it just as much. The owners harvest over 70 tons of grapes annually and serve the resulting wine in their tasting room-a former bank building-and courtyard, where you can also enjoy a side order of live music. Jeremy Wine Co. is one of 13 tasting rooms that have cropped up all over downtown Lodi, offering sips to visitors in relaxed surroundings. Lodi’s Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is sure to please your sweet tooth! Whether you are looking for a caramel apple, a chocolate covered marshmallow, or some tasty peanut butter cups – they’ve got you covered! Pro tip: try to swing by early in the day to get freshly made treats. Whether it is the cherry flavored cider, or the ever popular mango jalapeno cider, this is a must stop for those visiting downtown Lodi! Swing by on Friday nights for live music! 3. In addition to the wines made by fifth-generation wine makers at Scotto’s Winer & Cider downtown tasting room are a handful of tasty ciders. If you’re interested in creating your own art, Double Dip also offers classes for artists of all ages – beginners and experts alike! 2. What to do? Go to Tony Segale’s Double Dip Gallery, where you can get a taste of fine art as well as Gunther’s Ice Cream (a local favorite) all in one place.
