This year, Tierra Luna Cellars is pouring its passion and story into one of Northern California’s most beloved wine events: the 2026 Lodi Wine Festival, happening on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the iconic Lodi Grape Festival Grounds in Lodi, California.
Nestled in the heart of the lush Lodi AVA, the Lodi Wine Festival draws wine lovers from across the state and beyond. With up to 40 participating wineries and over 200 wine varietals to taste, it’s a joyful celebration of the craft, community, and character that make this region truly special.
What Makes the Lodi Wine Festival Magical
At the festival, visitors can look forward to:
✨ Unlimited tastings from a rich array of local wineries
🎵 Live music and artisan crafts from vendors
🥂 Multiple tasting experiences, including VIP and Bubble Lounge options
🥳 A fun, communal atmosphere with fellow wine lovers in a beautiful setting.
It’s not just a wine tasting, it’s a gathering where friendships are forged, stories are shared, and each glass becomes a new memory.
A Stellar Pour from Tierra Luna
For Tierra Luna Cellars, a boutique winery inspired by the heavenly wonders seen by NASA astronaut-founder Jose M. Hernandez, this festival is extra special. Our wines, including award winning varietals like Nova Stella, Stella Z, and Cuatro Stellas, capture both the adventurous spirit of space exploration and the rooted character of Lodi’s soil.
Attendees will have the chance to sip these handcrafted wines alongside the engaging stories behind them: stories of soil, sky, family roots, and a love of community. Whether you’re drawn to the crisp elegance of a white, the bold depth of a red, or the joyful nuances in between, Tierra Luna’s pours promise to delight. As an added perk, you will get to chat with our founder himself.
Why You’ll Want to Join Us
What makes this year’s festival truly unforgettable isn’t just the wine, it’s the people. Walking through the Ole Mettler Grape Pavilion, sampling the region’s finest, and sharing smiles with new friends reflects the warm heart of Lodi wine country.
