Bokisch Vineyards

We bought a bottle of exquisite Tempranillo for a dinner with friends. Excellent wines and beautiful location!

The grounds are amazing. The view is fantastic-especially at sunset. The wines are delicious. A jewel above Lodi.

Great wine tasting place . Love all the wine they had to offer. Would definitely recommend people to check it out

This was hands-down the best winey visit of the entire weekend. Although a bit farther afield than some Lodi wineries, it has the nicest grounds, the best informed staff (AJ and Justin) and the most interesting selection and quality of wines available. We actually enjoyed it enough to stay for lunch (absolutely excellent charcuterie picnic box) and skip the next winery on the itinerary. Their commitment to the Spanish culture and its varietals is genuine and passionate and it shows in the quality of ALL their wines. This was the only location where I bought a mixed case. HIGHLY recommend this one.

Wonderful outdoor setting and great tasting wine. Katy was a great host and very knowledgeable about the wine they were pouring. Tasting was on a beautiful lawn overlooking the vineyard. We were lucky enough to see some of the harvest operations. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and wine pairing experience! Led by Liz Bokisch, one gets to taste 3 of the wineries flagship wines, all Spanish varietals - albariño, temparnillo, and graciano - and each are expertly paired with a delicious bite. This experience is available for a couple weeks in January 2022, so visit their website for more specifics and to book your spot. I hope they continue to offer this opportunity in the future.

Reservations are recommended, but they can fit you in. Lovely setting, beautiful views.

I loved the view! It's really nice to be able to see the vineyards and it really feels like an open space. They have some chairs and tables where you can lounge and just enjoy. The wine is great and the staff is amazing!

Totally recommend! Very nice outdoor seating area, you are able to do the tasting sitting at a table, and the servers come to you!!! And they let you order food while you do it! Very rare in Lodi. Service is was fantastic, very attentive , knowledgeable and great sense of humor! We also did the tapas tasting which were awesome! Totally recommend, beautiful, relaxing and overall a great experience!

Hubby and I came with friends who had visited before. We were walk-ins but I think I would make a reservation next time if I came on my own. It was raining so we couldn't sit outside. They have a lovely set-up outdoors with tables and umbrellas which I'm sure is nice when the weather is more cooperative. Indoors, it was quite small!! There was a section reserved and then the bar (standing), and then about 4 chairs w/2 barrels for walk-ins. We stood for a bit at the bar and then snagged the chairs once those people left. The tasting $15, included 5 wines. I didn't find one that I liked, but they did offer us to revisit anything. The staff was friendly. I didn't see any food offerings, nor were we offered anything, which would've been nice to go w/the wine.

On our first trip to Lodi to explore wineries and we had the joy of visiting Bokisch for the 1st time. It was an absolute delight! We were greeted with a million dollar smile and open arms by Justin. He made our time here a memorable one with his friendly and knowledge of delicious Spanish wines. We got an extensive lesson (which we gladly welcomed) as we sipped luscious wines in a peaceful beautiful setting. Justin was outstanding in every way and genuine asset to your winery. He is a gem. We left with wine purchases and a promise to come back very soon. We Loved Our Time With You!

My husband came here previously with some friends and decided he'd have to bring me to enjoy it too! It was amazing! The wine was all really wonderful and the views were gorgeous. I must say one of the greatest parts though was the service. Katie was incredibly kind and helpful! She really went above and beyond! Thank you Katie! We'll be returning soon.

Ahh! I have no idea how I came across this yelp profile last friday, and that for the first time but it is a beautiful winery. It has great wines too, really! Terrific views, open space for the kids, high-end charcuterie boards to buy from them (instead of the typical costco cheese platter and some crackers) and they have Music in the Vineyard on Fridays. All the spots in the winery are beautiful and perfect so you can just pick anywhere to sit. Each spot has a fire pit, sunset views and they allow you to bring your own picnic. Like is there any other friendly and warm Winery out there? NO! This is it, they are amazing and this is a great place to be for hours with friends and family (and kids). I am definitely going back again, this year!

What an excellent winery! We came here for mother's day and we were surprised to find out how much space there was. They had a mother's day picnic event going on while we were there but they had it further out in the lawn area which opened up the main area for us - a great use of the space without having it be overcrowded that day. The staff was super friendly, accommodating, not stressed out despite the mothers day event going on, and they seemed to enjoy interacting with the customers. It was fairly hot the day we went but there was plenty of shade and umbrellas. The main lawn area has incredible views of the vineyard. Clean, indoor bathrooms! We didn't try the food but it seemed like they had a charcuterie selection to choose from. We will definitely be coming back!

Place is beautiful fyi uphill walkway from parking lot only saw only one handicap parking. Friendly customer service the lady was so nice she end up having a drink with us at the end of her shift. Great outdoor seating!

Great wine tasting place . Love all the wine they had to offer. Would definitely recommend people to check it out

This winery is truly a hidden gem! We stopped by for Sunset Sippin' on a Friday night; they offer wine to purchase by the glass or bottle with live music & lawn seating $10/person. The vineyards are beautiful & are family & pet friendly. We purchased a bottle of their Reserve Spanish blend, I thought it was quite good for a blend. I saw many groups purchase their sparkling wine, definitely going to try that one next! The live music was such a treat! The band played so well & had such a great set list. Definitely will be returning & encourage everyone to take advantage of the Sunset Sippin' they offer.

Katie is amazing! Her welcoming personality and knowledge about the wine convinced us to become members. The wine is decadent and so are the views. Highly recommend!

My favorite Lodi winery. Their Spanish wines were incredible and out of the two tasting menus, we liked more than not on both lists. Their outdoor seating area was lovely and they had a food truck with sandwiches that we highly enjoyed! We came home with 4 bottles. We will be back.

I discovered Bokisch Vineyards through VeganWines(dot)com. Both their Old Vine Carignane 2018 and Liberty Oaks Vineyard Tempranillo 2018 are now some of my favorites that I make sure to add to my cart when I order a new batch of wines.

My husband and I had a great tasting experience at Bokisch. Excellent customer service from their friendly team. This is definitely the best winery in the region for Spanish varietals.

Definitely get the $25 wine tasting as the $15 one was quite basic. Gorgeous outdoor seating with an expansive view of the vineyards. The drive out here is worth it!! Breathtaking! Discount on wine with purchase of wine tasting.

They are open and ready for walk ins. We came on a hot Sat afternoon and got seated under a nice cool red umbrella in a very large outdoor seating area. The shade felt great. Views were exceptional. Everything was even better once they brought out 5 little tastings in mini glass bottles. Loved the chilled whites including a very nice Albariño. Perfect for the hot day. Had two more whites and two reds. All Spanish influenced. Bought a half dozen bottles and we're on our way. Will definitely try them again when back in the area.

Always enjoy visiting this winery. This visit we decided to try the cheese and wine tasting which was amazing! It comes with 3 select cheese options to pair along with three tastings. We fell in love..such an amazing selection of pairings! Our favorite was the bacon jam by far. Excited to return! Forever a fan!

Exactly the kind of winery my mom and I were looking for while visiting the area from out of town. Bokisch vineyards is such a beautiful winery and a must go if you are looking for a pretty setting to sit/relax while drinking their wines. Side note: Outside food allowed and dogs on leash are welcome :) You can also order wine by the glass or by the bottle if you don't want to do a tasting.

The venue here is the star of the show. Beautiful vistas from relaxing adirondack chairs. Tastings are brought to you in small separate bottle in a tin tub for each person. Nice touch. The wines ranged from ok to excellent. The staff here was great. Friendly and knowledgeable. The also offer merch for sale. The music playing was eclectic and good for us. Worth a stop of for sure.

Definitely a quick little getaway that's not too far ! Love this place staff is amazing. Will be coming back

I went alone one day bc I dropped off my friend at the airport so I decided to treat myself! Customer service was great, views are beautiful, and the wine is yummy!

i poured them out. not good. i didnt even finish the tasting. i think there were serving old stuff

Visiting Bokisch winery I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Bre. And not only was she amazing ,but extremely knowledgeable about all the wine she poured, she was overall just funny and a very fun person to spend part of our day with. When she went to lunch we got to meet Brenda who was just as cheerful and made us laugh as well. These girls were not only extremely professional, funny and knowledgeable. I'm pretty well-versed in the wine community yet these girls were on their A game! I will most definitely recommend this winery to anybody and have them ask for these girls!!! I overall enjoyed my day here not from just the service that my friends and I received. The view alone will have you wanting to come back!!!! it is a Little piece of Heaven in Lodi own backyard highly recommend this winery to anybody! Thank you again for the wonderful day!

Wine and music was awesome when I went. Even enjoyed a charcuterie board. I definitely plan to go back.

Service was great! We sat outside and listened to beautiful Spanish music while tasting lovely wines.

Fantastic winery! All of their wines are delicious! The added benefit is that I met this weird dude who wore his reading glasses over his sunglasses.

So glad that Bokisch Vineyard has found a way to have do wine tasting during the Pandemic. They have lots of tables with umbrellas for shade if needed. Their servers bring wine in small individual bottles to make there is less possibility of spread of the virus. It is a clever idea, and also makes it so servers are able to serve more guests. I was surprised when our server told us that this is the wave of the future.

A truly great place to visit!. The wines were great and true to their Spanish heritage. Lovely setting. The staff was very knowledgable. highly recommended.jeremy

What a nice relaxing winery. Sitting outside in comfortable chairs, listening to good music, beautiful setting and really nice wine. The staff was nice and knowledgeable. The wines are very drinkable and good for the price point. Recommend stopping at this nice out of the way place.

This is the place to visit. If you want a great relaxing place to sit and sip and enjoy great wine, Bokisch is the spot. My wife and I have been here a few times and I would give it a 10 out of five if yelp would allow me. Right now I am sitting in a chair on there lawn overlooking the Rollinghills of vineyards. They have Spanish Varietals like Graciano or Tempranillo. Light in taste and extremely enjoyable.

Loooooovvveeeee this winery! I went to 5 wineries last year for my birthday and ended with Bokisch. The customer service, the ambiance, the views, and the wine were above par. I loved it so much on my birthday last year, that I came back for my birthday this year. I only went to 1 winery this year and Bokisch was it. Justin was great! He not only taught us about the wine but he also kept us laughing the whole time! We will definitely be coming back and I may make it a new tradition to go to Bokisch every birthday!!

It was the best evening! We had a lovely young lady with long curly hair who had studied in Itay. She was fabulous sweet attentive and informative! We love her! The wine is great of course and the paint event was super original and fun plus it had the best weather & sunset of the year. The entire event we would do again in a heartbeat received more than expected which is really rare. Thank you

What a hidden gem! Tucked away in the country with beautiful vineyard views and amazing Spanish wines! We made reservations and were seated right away last Friday. The hostess was very nice and allowed us to pick our spot as there weren't a lot people. She was pleasant throughout our whole experience and everyone follows protocol so it's very safe to be there. They offer cheese and cracker to add to your flights! Loved the cheddar but don't recall the specific name. It was windy so I was unable to take a photo of the flights and food options however the Albariño and Tempranillo were wonderful! Tip: gets chilling in the evening so bring a blanket to enjoy the outdoors

We like everything about Bokisch: their Spanish-style crafted wines, attentiveness, knowledge, relaxed atmosphere, accessibility (for places to taste and their operating days / hours). We are members. It has taken us awhile to fully grasp everything they are doing here. Understanding their wines is important and that takes time and effort. As their wines age they become softer and even more complex. Their young wines are fresh and vibrant / ready to drink but many will age well. They now offer a Sparkling Albarino which even in a short time has matured and developed into a nice offering. The events at Bokisch are non-stop. Always something on the calendar. Hats off to all their staff for the effort it takes to continually being hosts for all kinds of fun. Liz and Marcus (owners) are the epitomy of 'hospitality' and the spirit of loving what they do. We are still learning which requires more tasting...Ha!

Great winery to start or end your wine tasting day. It is located off the beaten path however worth the drive for a visit. We visited for W&C weekend on a Sunday at 11:30am. They had a cute photo op set up and many snacks and lots of help in the tasting room. We were welcome with friendly, smiling faces eager to pour for us. We had a set 5 tastings and all of them were great. We especially enjoyed the Tempranillo as it was a lighter one than what we're used to but still excellent. I think it was the Graciano that was a pleasant surprise. The Verdelho was delish, we ended up purchasing a case. We will be back to enjoy a glass or bottle, the fire pits and views.

Great Spanish wines! We had some Spanish Regina's crackers and Cinco Lanzas cheese with the Classic Tasting Menu. The venue was ok but the wines were great.

The Friday night before the Lodi Wine & Chocolate we (lots of friends and family members) stayed at the Jackson Rancheria Casino. Saturday morning we started our wine adventure weaving through Lodi's backstreets to all those semi-hidden, distant wineries. Our first winery stop was Bokisch winery. The drive was nice and the winery had a giant shed feel with a lot of character inside. Staff was very friendly and looked like they took pride in working their. Wines were pleasurable. During normal business days(not special events) the wine tasting is hel in the front building. During the Wine/Chocolate Tasting it was held in the rear, backside, lower end of the main building. Not as handicap accessible than the regular tasting room but there are other options to get you there. I'm sure if asked, they would gladly accommodate.

First time here and staff were wonderful and welcoming. Lots of seating and shade areas in the afternoon. Will definitely recommend this place to our friends and go back with them

I haven't actually been to the tasting room, this is strictly for the Fireside Fridays. We have been keeping this winery in the back of our mind since they first opened and the cheese shop told us about it but we have a habit of not visiting local wineries. But this all changed, when a friend invited us to the last Fireside Friday. I had no idea it was a thing, and I sure wish I had known about it earlier in the year. What a great event and idea! The view from here is beautiful. The sunset views can't be beat. A large group of friends all huddled around one of the fire pits out on the back lawn, enjoyed snack and drank a few bottles of wine. All while the band played a wide variety of music. The events are free so you just show up with friends and they have wine available for purchase by the glass or bottle. There is a lot of room with plenty of spots to stake out a great view. The grounds are fun to walk around when there is enough light. Staff selling the wine was very nice and helpful. What a great experience and I can't wait for next summer to make this a regular thing with my friends or at least my hubby.

The four of us recently went on a Saturday. When you walk in, the environment is great! Nice and relaxing chairs and tables to set outside under canopies. The young staff members there were very nice and knowledgeable, particularly Lindsey and Megan! Great Spanish Wines in all the tastings I did! We will definitely come back again soon! I highly recommend it if you are looking to try some different types of wines that you normally do not do! Scott Arbogast- Tracy, CA.

This is a winery that I will be back to again for sure. The Spanish wines were delicious, and we were provided a little bit of history on the family when here. The views we had when having our wine was A+ and the entire environment was perfect for enjoying the moment and tasting wine. This place was definitely our favorite winery of the trip.

Wonderful! Big kudos to the staff and special thank you to Liz and Markus, thank you for being so very welcoming and for letting our family enjoy your beautiful scenic location with absolutely delightful wine! We are super excited to be new club members and look forward to returning in the very near future !

Awesome winery with both Spanish and French varietals! My boyfriend and I visited this past weekend and it was an amazing way to spend a Saturday afternoon! The outdoor tasting area is situated amongst rolling hills on both sides so it's absolutely stunning! We walked through the vineyards and just took in the amazing scenery! The wines are also great! We loved the Rosé and the Garnacha! The Albariño was nice too! :)

The view is gorgeous, particularly at sunset... and haven't had a wine touch my lips that I didn't enjoy. While I'm more partial to reds, the Verdejo has been at the top of my list any time I stop by. Wine and fireside sunsets on a Friday... can you really go wrong? The few times I've been in, staff has always been very informative and friendly... a story behind each taste or label. If you haven't been by, you're missing out.

Very nice outdoor tasting area with nice music playing. The wines were delicious. I really enjoyed them and bought 4 bottles.

Anemic pours. I would like to rate the wine but they didn't give me enough to make a decision....

Visited yesterday with family from Virginia. Bokisch offers one of the best vineyard landscapes in Lodi. Their outdoor area is lovely and conducive to sitting and relaxing over conversation and wine. Their wines were pretty good...I enjoyed their Albariño. I'm giving three stars because our tasting experience could have been better. It's not an inexpensive tasting at $15.00/ person, but that is waived if you purchase a bottle. Unfortunately, we weren't so taken with any bottle that we thought to buy one...so $45.00 to taste. Here's my issue...We were one of two tables outside so it was not a busy afternoon. Instead of bringing the flight to you so you can enjoy sitting and tasting, you have get up and go to the bar for each taste and bring it back to your table. So you're up and down, up and down and it just took away from the experience. Of course, you have the option to stand at the bar for the tasting. We brought some munchies to have with our wine so we preferred having a table and one of us had difficulty in getting up and down in the Adirondack chair due to hip issues , so sitting was preferable. Perhaps I should have asked to just have them pour the flight into small vases like I see from other reviews that they did in the earlier days of Covid. Oh well... Additionally, it seemed like the music was from one of the employee's play list. I didn't enjoy it and would have much preferred something a bit more classic or acoustic to go with the scenery ... I'm not an old biddy in any sense, but I'm pretty sure the elderly couple next to us would have agreed as well. I really feel like part of enjoying a wine has a lot to do with the experience. Don't get me wrong, everyone was super friendly, just wished they were a bit more accommodating. I will say, I have had this experience at times with tasting I have done mid-week with other wineries as well. I actually prefer tasting mid week to avoid the crowds but it's as if they are fitting tastings in between their work. That's how it felt... Weekends seem to cater more to tasters. Lastly, the taste is literally two sips. I've wine tasted all over Lodi and have to say, these pours are minimal at best. I'm not looking for a half glass of wine, even close to it...but I would have appreciated just another sip or two to fully appreciate the taste sensations. Again, I probably could have asked to revisit any of the wines if I wanted to, but didn't... that would have been even more trips to the bar. If I go back, I'll be a bit more demanding.

As we meandered and researched around the various wineries, we revisited and ended signing up as members (our latest one out of a couple). Although the winery is located on the outskirt of Lodi's east side, it is tucked in nicely in a country setting. The tasting room has a good contemporary ambience feel (thinking it was remodeled) and the area/grounds outside is spacious with a nice relaxing environment. The view of the vineyard from hillside is beautiful especially at sunset. We had visited a couple of times during the week where Joy was great servicing us -- she is very knowledgeable and friendly! Having visited the Iberian peninsula and loving their wine there, we enjoyed hearing Joy explain about the Spanish wine varietals here. Bokisch has a nice selection of delicious wine; and liked that they are classified Lodi Rules - certified sustainable! Recently, we attended our first Fireside Friday and Pickup Party which were enjoyable and relaxing; however, we have recommendations. Although the staff is friendly and attentive at their stations, it would be nice that they maneuver around periodically check in and assist where needed with customers. We only saw band members greeting around. Also, it would to good have someone attend the food station for reasons. And although, we were early looking forward to have Lockeford Sausage, there were none. Regardless, and overall, we enjoy the wine selection and are pleased to be wine club members.

Such a beautiful spot to end the day wine tasting. Bokisch has a stellar view and was recommended to us to go at sunset by the hospitality manager from Michael David. We opted to purchase a glass and enjoy it by the fire pits set up outside since it was getting late and we didn't want to have to go back and forth for tastings. There were several groups doing the same and some even set up a whole table with food to spend some time. The wine itself was good and a reasonable price, $5 for tasting of five wines or $6-10 by the glass.

Wonderful winery featuring Spanish varietals. In one of our first "outings" as things open up again (Covid-19), we made reservations to go out to Bokisch. They have done a great job setting up an outdoor tasting area with gorgeous views of the vineyards. Lots of space between tables, staff is appropriately masked, easy to be out and feel safe. Plus the wines are great! We'll look forward to our next visit soon.

Totally worth the drive from Sacramento! It's probably the furthest Lodi winery in the region, but I do not mind! The scenic route along the way, and then the incredible experience we had at the winery placed this in my top 5 in the region. I discovered my love for Spanish varieties of wine here. Their Albariño is to die for! The prices are so affordable and the layout is so relaxing and gorgeous I almost felt I was in the South of Spain. Rolling hills of vineyards, comfy chairs and couches covered by umbrellas, and of course some corn hole when you're feeling a little competitive from that liquor courage. Perfect spot to picnic with some out of towners! Skip all the big spots and crowds with their "great zins", and come out to Bokisch!
