In order to reflect the Lodi Appellation's wine heritage, the event start and finish is at historic Jessie's Grove Winery on Turner Road in Lodi: old vine Zinfandel, a shaded oak grove, and the perfect place to celebrate after the ride.

 

One of Lodi's most historic family farms, Joseph Spenker settled the ranch after settling in Stockton in 1868, and his first vines went in during the 1880s. Some of the old Zinfandel is still producing today, including the dray-farmed Royal Tee vinyard planted in 1889.  In addition to the wonderful venue The event UPGRADES also include:

 

• Excellent Post-Ride Meal

• Jessie's award winning wines (no host)

• Craft Beer  (no host)

• Entertainment

   

After your ride, you can relax, visit with other riders, purchase a t-shirt, enjoy the excellent post-ride meal, and relax on the gorgeous grounds of the Jessie's Grove Estate!
