“Mettler is one of the older families in Lodi. They have quite a few generations in the area and been a farming family for even longer. They are one of the early adopters of making their vineyard organic and sustainable which is something that many of us look for when choosing a place to taste. The tasting room is a nice space as is the crushed granite and adjoining covered patio for outdoor tastings. A picnic by the pond will feel like you are transported somewhere far a way and back  in time. The weeping willow and the vineyard in the background is serene.”
