Category: Things To Do in Lodi

Lodi is located just between San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and is California’s most sought-after wine tasting areas and is referred to as the “Zinfandel Capital of the World.” Back in the mid to late 1800s, Lodi was originally named “Mokelumne” or “Mokelumne Station,” after the river that the town was founded on. It was like this until the families of the original settlers of the area decided to name their new land after their hometown, Lodi, Illinois. The city name was incorporated by voters in 1902 and passed a vote of 2-1.
