Spring of The Vine Event at Wine & Roses Hotel • Restaurant • Spa

Fast becoming California’s new Wine country, Lodi is a major destination for wine lovers. Located just a half hour south of Sacramento and 90 minutes ease of San Francisco, Lodi has emerged as one of the world’s most recognized regions for high quality grape and wine production.

Visitors can get a special look at Lodi on Sunday, April 28th as select Lodi wineries, many award-winning, participate in the second annual Spring of The Vine (SOTV) event being held on the beautiful grounds of Wine & Roses Hotel• Restaurant• Spa.

Le Printemps des vins Spring of The Vine, an event with French roots, will focus on the new light releases of the season; whites, light reds and rosés.  The select Lodi winemakers will be more than happy to spend time chatting about their wines at this intimate tasting event. “This is a day about discovery as you taste wines and share passion and surprise with the winemakers themselves,” explains Wine & Roses owner, Russ Munson.

SOTV will also feature The Ike and Martin Band, a super-charged acoustic rock group playing modern classic pop music, exquisite cuisine displays with action chefs offered throughout the event, and of course visitors will enjoy strolling through the beautiful grounds of Wine & Roses.  New to this year’s event is an artist showcase featuring local area artist Alex Akore, who will illustrate a piece during the tasting event for auction at the SOTV dinner.

“We’re thrilled to host this event and to give our guests the chance to experience the new release light wines of the season on our grounds.” said Heather Reagan, Director of Sales & Marketing for Wine & Roses.  “We look forward to the event generating momentum each year as more people are attracted to not only to discovering the incredible wines that Lodi has to offer, but also to Lodi as a destination area.”

Also new to the event this year, guests can purchase tickets to the Spring of The Vine Dinner, a family style dinner setting in which guests can interact with the winemakers and wineries themselves. The menu for the dinner showcases fun, fresh, seasonal cuisine created exclusively to pair with the featured SOTV wines as well as winemaker’s favored wine selections.
