Our wines are from our own Estate vineyards which are all certified sustainable in the Lodi appelation. Once they are hand harvested they are brought to the winery which is located in the old Ice House building on the corner of Locust and Main st in the Downtown area of Lodi. From what we have gathered from those who know some of the history is that the building was started as the Livery Stables in the 1880's and later became an ice house. The 15,000. sq.ft. old brick building was purchased about 2010 and painstakingly restored to house our winery and more recently our Brewery. It is only a few blocks from the Dancing Fox Restaurant/Tasting Room located on School st.
Tours can be arranged with the Winemaker Gregg Lewis by sending him an email (gregg@dancingfoxwinery.com) Tour fee is $50. per person (minimum 4 people or $200 paid in advance) which includes personal tour of the ice house facility seeing both the beer and wine making areas (27 E. Locust street, Lodi) as well as a few barrel tastings. Hearing the stories of where the name came from and other fun tales. Then the tour continues a few blocks away at the Dancing Fox restaurant and tasting room (203 S. School St. Lodi) for a special wine tasting paired with samples of our housemade breads.
Tasting fee is $15. Waived upon any wine bottle purchase. We pour 5 wines that we have chosen for that day.
Groups larger than 6 need to call ahead for appointment.
