About PONDL Winery
PONDL Winery is a small, family-owned winery in the heart of Lodi wine country, named for the initials of its two founders, Pat O'Neill and David Lujan Jr. As the winery puts it, PONDL is a testament to what happens when an innocent hobby gets out of control.
The tasting room lives inside a distinctive purple barn that doubles as the production space, surrounded by vineyards. PONDL explores a range of varietals and techniques to show off Lodi's diversity, with a well-loved Tempranillo, a favorite Chardonnay, bold reds, and a seasonal mulled wine. David is a memorable host, and the small-winery experience wins over most visitors.
The atmosphere is relaxed and personal, the sort of place where you are likely to hear the story behind the wines straight from an owner.
