BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Lodi produces nearly 40% of California’s premium Zinfandel. The first Zinfandel vines were planted in Lodi in the 1880s, and some of the ancient vines that survived Prohibition remain productive today. The unique combination of warm, sunny days and cool evenings creates a perfect environment for Zinfandel grapes to thrive.
In celebration of the community’s pride and gratitude to the generations of Lodi’s farming and winemaking families whose perseverance and innovation transformed Lodi into a symbol of agricultural achievement, the Mayor presents a proclamation proclaiming Lodi as the Zinfandel Capital of the World.
