Upstream Wines at Watts Winery

Cute place nice peaceful relaxing ambience wines& champagnes or good as well I love the décor and the wall paintings they have for sell defiantly will be back my mom loves this place thanks mom

Beautiful winery! They have so many wines to try! There is definitely something to satisfy everyone’s palate!

Love the setting, grounds and of course the large variety of wine they make. The customer service always keeps me coming back-​at least twice a month

I love coming here! I have family that lives in Lodi and I try and visit at least once every year. Upon my cousins suggestion we came to Watts and let me just say I have fallen in love with this place. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is amazing. Now the wine is the best thing about this place as it should be. I love the wine here. I love it so much that I usually buy some bottles and have them shipped to AZ since the wine in AZ is nothing in compare to this wine. They have their Upstream wines and then they have their Watts wine which are both amazing. I recommend all of the wines. This place makes me wish I lived in Lodi but since I don’t I will settle on stopping by every time I am in town. Be warned you may want to take a couple bottles home with you or a case !

Best customer service ever! Shannon and her husband (the owners) were amazing! They were so friendly and generous with the servings. Shannon gave us a tour of the whole property and even took us out to her organic garden where she offered us any veggies we wanted. I am sure this doesn’t happen to every customer but her above-​and-​beyond service was much appreciated! In terms of wine, my favorite was the frog label one, which Shannon told us goes great with watermelon as a watermelon mimosa:) overall amazing experience. Makes me want to party with the Watts all the time!

Best tasting ever!!! Great, fun and knowledgeable staff! Shannon and Kelly were wonderful! Best place to taste, buy and celebrate our anniversary! We left with 12 bottles!!! Thank you for a great time!

The Upstream wines are amazing, modern and fruitful. We enjoyed the wines so much that we joined the wine club. The staff and the owner are extremely friendly and knowledgable. Fantastic!

Had a fabulous time with my family thanks to Shannon. She was very knowledgeable and made sure to serve us the freshest wines of the best quality. We went home with 9 bottles, thanks again!

The place is outstanding. All the comforts of home but you’re in the tasting room. And to top it off with a beautiful swimming pool that is visible through the glass walls. I highly recommend for this hot weather. Their Rose Frizzante 2013

Wines are great and Natalie and Debra are awesome!!! New tasting room is great l. The wine at $ 50 a case amazing!!!

Went there Saturday for the first time. It was pretty busy but the 3 girls working were pretty awesome! Mandy was super nice! I loved the wine! Especially the cab sauvignon and it was only $ 20!!! The grounds were absolutely beautiful and they have some fun upcoming events and concerts that I can’t wait to go to. Definitely should check this place out!

We live in Lodi and go by this winery 5 times a week. So when we had guest from out of town this weekend we decided to stop in for some tasting. Our servers Dan and Shannon were the best. made us feel right at home and offered many wines for tasting. We even got a free card trick from Dan which I am still trying to figure out. We tasted so many wines we had to keep a written note pad to decide on our purchase. So our friends and my wife decided we each liked the Cabernet Franc the best. So decided on two bottles and Shannon immediately brought to our attention they had a special now for a case price. A deal we could not refuse. Great winery with great people made a great day and we left with a huge smile on our face. We will be back.

Deborah is not only knowledgeable about the wines she pours but has a non-​profit that helps veterans with PTSD work through it with horses. It is called Horses Healing Heroes and I couldn’t admire that more. The wines are truly delicious and the grounds are natural and homey and inviting. Upstream Wines out at Watts is a gem… I wouldn’t miss it.

We came to this place during wine and chocolate weekend and it was a cute and cozy place. We were served by Fabiola «Bobbie» who was very nice and knowledgable about the wines. The best wines they had were cabernet sauvignon and rosado. They also have their butterfly wines which not only have a pretty label, but also contribute to a good cause. (30% of the cost is donated to pediatric cancer research.) I love any winery that does great things like this! We will definitely be going back because of their tasty wines and friendly service.,
Returned in April of 2016 and we were served by Mercedes and Camille. They were very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our tasting along with great service! Thanks ladies!

I am usually not a Sunday going out gal, but my boyfriend and I went wine tasting anyways. Out of all of the wineries we have gone to, we enjoyed this place the most. The atmosphere was nice. The winery was a house surrounded by nature. There was a nice backyard and front yard, which was surround by grass, trees, other plants, and grape vines. When we walked up to the entrance, we immediately approached what appeared to be a small art gallery. There were paintings all over.
After browsing the art, we entered another room, which was the wine bar. We bought a wine tasting experience off Groupon. I am happy we did because we were able to try all of their wines for only $ 20. There were around 15 selections, practically all reds. We had one white, Chardonnay, and I actual liked it. I am not a big fan of white wine but this was good. We actually brought a bottle of it home! The 2011Malbec was also a good choice, but they ran out of it so we weren’t able to buy it.
My favorite was actually on the «sweet» wine menu, the rose. It wasn’t too sweet. You just have to try it for yourself. My second favorite on this menu was the peach flavored sparkling wine. It was crisp and had a hint of peach. I would definitely come back!

The Upstream tasting menu was delish. Grounds are beautiful.
But the young girl behind the counter didn’t know anything about wine, and even admitted that she’d never been wine tasting before.
Seems like an odd duck to put behind the counter when wine tasting is all about the experience, stories and the history. We certainly weren’t inspired to buy.

The tasting room is set in the original home of one of the Watts family members and has definitely been renovated. We were the only ones there when we arrived and the guy helping us was on his first shift by himself. Overall it was a really nice and comfortable tasting room with a good size bar and a nice selection of wine.
We did the Groupon deal where you get a tasting for two with a take home bottle. Definitely worth the money and we even were able to sample some wine from one of the winemakers who was trying to decide whether or not his Rose was ready to bottle. The prices of the wine were fair and our take home bottle was a nice Cabernet Franc.
I would definitely come back to this tasting room. I like their selection of wines and the vineyards have a great family history that makes it a welcoming place to relax for a bit in the Central Valley.

Discovered this winery from the Lodi Zinfest. This was the only wine booth where we stopped three times because their fizzy rose was so refreshing. Their customer service impressed me from the start. Not only did they tell us about their wines, but invited us to come to their winery the next day for a fun event and wine case specials. The invitation was more than tempting, and our group set out the next day to check out their winery. When we arrived, I realized that the gentlemen with the good service from the day before, was in fact the owner. He immediately recognized us and gave us a friendly greeting. Five of us enjoyed our tastings at their winery and made our purchases. The combination of great customer service and tasty wine will definitely get me to come back.
Cheers!

Very well done wines and a tasting with the master wine maker himself. Awesome tasting of varietals mostly estate grown.
I have this one bookmarked for the future.

Awesome service! Love the Malbec! Nicole and Zachary were super friendly! Nicole was very knowledgable which made the experience that much more great. Got a peek at the barrels and tanks along with a little information regarding the bottling of wines. Definitely will return!
