Open: Year-round
About us:
Centered in the heart of the Lodi appellation, Twisted Roots Vineyard is the work of three generations of family members dedicated to the practice of growing great wine grapes following Sustainable Growing practices. While our family established the vineyard in 1918, it wasn't until recently that we began producing our own wines.
The Twisted Roots Vineyard label started with a Petite Sirah in 2005 produced by Ross, as a result of an over abundance of Petite Sirah on the vineyard. In 2009 production was expanded to include other varietals grown on the estate, while the wine making was moved from the old farmhouse, to our partners at Estate Crush. Even though our famous Petite Sirah we will always continue to be our flagship variety, we also offer Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Old Vine Zinfandel.
Twisted Roots Wine LLC, was incorporated in 2010 by partners: Josh Ruiz, Mike Hodge and Ross Schmiedt. Ross passed away in March of 2014 and his place in the partnership has been filled by his wife Susan Schmiedt.
