Best Wineries in the 209

Lodi is the Zinfandel Capital of the World, and Murphys' Main Street has more walkable tasting rooms per block than most of Napa — without the reservations or the attitude. The 209's wine scene spans old-vine Zinfandels from vines planted in the 1890s to irreverent Rhône blends in Gold Country. We've curated 23 wineries and tasting rooms across Lodi, Murphys, and Copperopolis, focusing on the ones where winemakers still pour your glass themselves and nobody charges $75 for a tasting.
