The Bay Bridge from Treasure Island
Of course, wait-there’s-more! Lodi’s Treasure Island WineFest occurs during the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Week, highlighted by the unforgettable sight of Blue Angels soaring majestically from one side of the Bay to the other. Then there’s the live music, artisanal cheeses and olive oils, offerings of Lodi’s wine country cuisine, ample free parking, and commemorative wine glasses for all.
