About This Festival
Lodi ZinFest is the world's premier celebration of Zinfandel, held each May in the heart of California's Zinfandel capital. The three-day festival showcases Lodi's legendary old-vine Zinfandels — some grown on vines over 100 years old — alongside the region's diverse portfolio of Italian, Spanish, and Rhône varieties. Highlights include the ZinFest Grand Tasting in Lodi Lake Park, winemaker-led vineyard tours of century-old vine blocks, barrel tastings at participating wineries, and the prestigious ZinFest Wine Competition.
