Lodi’s School Street Wine Stroll
Ride the Train from Sacramento!

LODI, CA, March 4, 2010 – The Lodi Chamber of Commerce announces its 17th annual School Street Wine Stroll on Friday, April 16, 2010, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Over 26 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines in shops and boutiques throughout downtown Lodi. Local proprietors will be providing hors d’oeurves at each tasting stop along with entertainment throughout the venue. The Lodi region is thrilled to showcase its finest in cuisine, wine, activities and hospitality.

Vintners will be on hand to pour a myriad of varietals and vintages from the Lodi Appellation. The Lodi Wine Region boasts 75 wineries, 60 varietals and grows 100,000 acres of wine grapes. Wineries will be showcasing not only the well know varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, but also many unique varietals such as Verdelho, Carignan and Nebbiolo.

New this year will be live chef demonstrations by local celebrity chefs. Among a few will be Michael Warren with Crush Kitchen & Bar, Julio Camberos with Califas Café & Bistro and Gary DeGrande from DeGrande’s Café & Restaurant.

“The Wine Stroll is an enjoyable event because of the combined ingredients to showcase Lodi – fine wines, unique shops, wonderful cuisine, the historic charm of downtown Lodi and great people,” says Pat Patrick, President and CEO of the Lodi Chamber of Commerce.

The Southbound San Joaquin Amtrak train departs Sacramento on Friday, April 16, at 4:55 pm and arrives in Lodi at 5:33 pm, which is walking distance (one half block) to downtown Lodi and the Wine Stroll. Guests pick-up their wine glasses and enjoy live entertainment, music, wine and appetizers in various boutiques and shops. The Amtrak train departs the Lodi train station at 10:39 pm and arrives in Sacramento at 11:30 pm. Many wine tasting rooms and restaurants remain open following the event.
