Peirano Estate Vineyards Description
Right along Highway 99 is a large sign for “Wine Tasting at Peirano Estate Vineyards.” Visitors are treated to a lovely country experience as they wander through the garden to the old green-roofed farmhouse that is now a tasting room. There are picnic tables and a deck looking out onto a couple of rows of ancient (circa 1895) grapevines brought from Italy. The owner is a fourth-generation winemaker, with his family immigrating to California from Genoa, Italy in 1881.
Today the family carries on the trade and currently owns the largest
head-trained Zinfandel vineyard in the state. All the wines are made from their estate grapes and are processed at their facility in Sonoma, with their tasting room in Lodi sharing space with the vineyards. Inside the old farmhouse is a cozy gift shop with hardwood floors and a glass-covered oak tasting bar. There is a deli case as well, with meats, cheeses and soft drinks. Their flagship wine is their Old Vine Zinfandel, which complements their collection of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Shiraz, Barbera, Chardonnay, a white blend and their Muscat Canelli.

Who knows what the Winery is Like -- When It's open is anybody's guess!kobayashi, Sacramento Well, I never got to taste the wine. In the middle of the week (a weekday) I was driving back from Stockton in the afternoon and saw the sign, so I decided to try the winery since I like buying local wines. I had to get off, get on the other side of the freeway, and then I easily found it. But it was closed! And it took me 25 minutes to get back on the freeway b/c, apparently, everyone else did the same thing I did and the tiny two lane highway was backed up horrifically. So, you can imagine my first impression of this place isn't very good at all -- here's a tip, folks. If you're closed on some weird day, PUT THAT INFORMATION on the HUGE freeway sign you're enticing visitors with so we don't waste 40 minutes of our day trying to get to your winery. I'm not going back.
