Central Valley California Day Trip - Lodi

Michele Humeston

With over 85 wineries and a flourishing downtown Lodi is a great stop for a day trip adventure. Creedence Clearwater Revival even made a song about this quaint town. - John Fogerty explained that the inspiration for "Lodi" came from trips with his father around central California, an area of the world where he "felt very warm and special."
