Wine Grapes and Bulk Wine from San Joaquin County
Lodi is the region most buyers mean when they search San Joaquin County. The Lodi appellation was recognized in February 1986 and spans San Joaquin and Sacramento counties. The Lodi Winegrape Commission reports that wine grape acreage has grown from about 39,000 acres in 1991 to more than 100,000, and it represents roughly 750 growers.
The scale matters for buyers. A large, established grower base means volume for both premium and everyday wines, and it is a common source of fruit for blends and bulk wine. Lodi has a long history with Zinfandel, and the commission's own pest-management work grew into the Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing, a third-party certification you can ask a grower about.

What to check before you buy or sell
- Ask whether the fruit or wine is Lodi appellation. The appellation crosses county lines, so the county alone does not tell you.
- If sustainability matters to your brand, ask whether the vineyard is Lodi Rules certified and request the certificate.
- For bulk wine, ask about blend composition, ABV and total sulfites, and whether the lot is single variety or a blend.
- Volume lots often sell on a per-ton or per-gallon price that moves with the market, so confirm the price basis and timing.
