The Estate
Decades of Craft, Ready for a New Steward
Stonum Vineyards & Winery is a fully operational, award-winning wine estate set on 15 acres in the heart of Lodi, California. Founded in 1980, the property encompasses a working winery, a licensed tasting room, a two-bedroom craftsman cottage, and meticulously tended organic gardens — all available as a single, turnkey acquisition.
For over four decades, Stonum has produced small-lot wines celebrated for their depth and terroir-driven character. The estate's old-vine Zinfandel — planted the year the winery was founded — remains its crown jewel, yielding fruit of extraordinary complexity that commands attention in both the cellar and the marketplace.
