When you next set out on the road, choose one of the delightful hotels in Lodi, CA and you won't have to look far for the treasures you seek.

Visiting Lodi

Lodi might not be as well known a California wine region as Napa and Sonoma, but its vineyards, tasting rooms, and wineries together offer over 100 varieties and comprise the largest appellation in the state. No matter how much or how little you know or care about wine, Lodi promises a prime opportunity to get acquainted with some world-class Zinfandels and Cabernet Sauvignons. And if you're staying at Lodi hotels on a weekend, you can catch one of many lively wine-themed events, such as barrel tastings, wine dinners, and live music with a vineyard backdrop. Arrange Lodi rental cars, and you can drive to farms to sample, pick, and purchase other local harvests, from plump berries to peppery olive oils. The Thursday evening farmers market downtown brings such bounty even closer. You'll leave Lodi with a new appreciation for California's often-overlooked Central Valley, whose soils yield the food that feeds the nation. Continue past rice paddies and orchards to Sacramento hotels, outside of which State Capitol tours, the Old Town, and intriguing museums await.
