2. Go wine tasting!

Lodi has over 60 wineries to intrigue and delight your palette!

3. Enjoy fine dining.

I recommend Sunday morning brunch at Wine and Roses. You need to be really hungry, though! I also Woodbridge Crossing in nearby Woodbridge.

4. Shop in quaint downtown Lodi.


5. Visit Hill House Museum or the Great Valley Serpentarium1.

6. Visit Micke Grove Zoo.

There is also a large park with a museum, picnic tables, kiddie rides, a Japanese tea garden, tennis courts, a public pool, and a golf course.

11. Visit Tom’s Used Books.

It’s a real, old-fashioned book store complete with a hardwood floor that creaks as you walk, and a couple of big, fluffy cats lounging on the over-sized counter at the front of the store. The sign says “Browsers Welcome” and you can spend hours exploring the treasures here.

12. Enjoy some great music performed by the Lodi Community Band, especially at Celebrate America, our annual, old-fashioned July Fourth celebration at Hutchins Street Square!2
