American Fare – Made in Lodi is a walk-around celebration of the people, flavors, and craftsmanship that define Lodi. Set amidst the gardens and grounds of Appellation Lodi – Wine & Roses Resort and Spa, this exploratory culinary experience invites guests to sip, taste, smell, see, and feel the fabric of the community firsthand—where everything you encounter is grown, made, or crafted right here in Lodi.

At the heart of the experience are ten market-style tasting booths, each thoughtfully pairing one chef, one grower, and one winemaker to showcase a seasonal expression of Lodi food, wine, and produce. Along the way, guests will discover a curated artisan market, a build-your-own bloom bar, a Maison Lodi boulangerie stand, and a garden bar featuring cocktails inspired by local ingredients—creating a vibrant afternoon of connection, creativity, and local pride.

Plus, VIP tickets grant you access to the American Fare lunch at Americana House, each course crafted by the culinary talent of the tasting experience.

A Tasting Experience Like No Other

Imagine stepping into a room buzzing with over 40 micro-wineries, each offering a kaleidoscope of flavors—more than 100 wines from 25+ grape varieties in a single afternoon. Unlike festivals that focus narrowly on one region or varietal (think Pinot Noir or Napa Valley exclusives), Garagiste Festivals throw the doors wide open. You might taste a bold Trousseau Gris from Sonoma, a funky Carignan from Mendocino, or a sparkling Picpoul Blanc from Paso Robles—all in one place. This diversity is unmatched, pulling from nearly every California AVA, from Santa Barbara to the Napa and every AVA in between. It’s a treasure hunt for wine lovers who crave the unexpected, whether it’s Cabernet or Chardonnay or a quirky blend or a grape you’ve never heard of.

Our festivals don’t just stop at variety—they prioritize access. Most Garagiste wineries lack tasting rooms or broad distribution, making these events your exclusive ticket to their creations. Early access options like the “Rare and Reserve” tastings elevate the experience further, offering library wines, club-only releases, and barrel samples that even die-hard collectors covet. With limited ticket sales, the crowd stays manageable, ensuring you can savor each pour and chat with the winemakers without elbowing through a mob.

As with all Garagiste events, only the winemakers and/or owners (often the same person) will be pouring the wines. Come meet the artists who are making some of the most exciting and innovative wines in the world!
