The 2025 Lodi grape harvest is projected to deliver excellent quality with slightly higher tonnage than 2024 but continued market and supply challenges remain. Favorable weather forecasts point to mostly ideal sugar (Brix) levels across major varietals, though overall production may be below long-term averages.

The Lodi American Viticultural Area (AVA)—California Grape Crush District 11—remains a critical region for American and global wine markets. Over the past five years, the region experienced unprecedented volatility, including historic production declines, vineyard removals, and dramatic varietal redistribution.
