About Berghold Winery
Berghold Vineyards sits on a Cherry Road estate in the heart of the Lodi appellation, where Joe and Kay Berghold have farmed wine grapes since 1986 and built their winery in 2006 after moving to Lodi from the Bay Area. The family estate spans three contiguous vineyards of roughly 85 acres, planted to Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Mourvedre, Grenache and Zinfandel.
The winery is best known for its tasting room, which houses one of the largest private collections of American Victorian antiques in the country, from a 26-foot carved mahogany Eastlake bar to a rare mechanical music box the family calls the Jewel of California. Berghold is a family-run, direct-sale operation with a large wine club, and its Crankcase red blend and Footstomp Zinfandel are among its most talked-about bottlings. The estate was named Visit Lodi's Winery of the Year in 2017.
Field-verified September 2026: the Featured Flight pours the 2023 Viognier (stainless), 2024 Dry Rose, 2024 Sangiovese, 2023 Foot Stomp, the award-winning 2021 Syrah/Viognier and the 2023 Crankcase, with glasses at $12-15 and bottles from $22.99. A bottle purchase waives the tasting fee, and case discounts run 10% on six, 15% on a case and 20% on two cases. The estate is a Lodi Rules Certified Green winery, and the menu's fruit-and-structure graphics make it one of the friendliest flights in Lodi for newer tasters. Beyond the flight: FO Viognier, Cab/Syrah, Cabernet Franc, the award-winning Capitalist, White Lace, plus Late Harvest Viognier and Zinfandel, Ruby and Tawny ports.

✓
The manicured groundsThe back lawn feels like the garden of a grand private house - trimmed and green, with shade trees and sun in equal measure.
✓
Live pianoA guest sat down at the piano during our visit; the room carries a lively, social hum rather than a hushed one.
✓
Bottle-and-sitBuy a bottle and take it outside - the seating invites a long stay, and a bottle purchase waives the tasting fee.
✓
Staff under pressureThe tasting counter was slammed when we came through and the team still handled it well.
Lively and social where much of Lodi is quiet - piano in the room, a beautiful manicured lawn outside, and a flight built to teach. Come for the atmosphere as much as the wines, and plan to linger outside with a bottle.
