Nestled in Lodi, California, Cabana Winery offers a delightful blend of tradition and modern charm. We’re not your typical vineyard—our urban setting makes it easy to enjoy top-notch wines without leaving the city. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking to explore, Cabana Winery is the perfect spot for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Our Journey
The story of Cabana Winery starts with a quest for something new. After 19 wonderful years making wine at Renwood, a winery I founded and named after my wife, Rene, I was ready for a new adventure. My daughters had a dream of opening an urban winery, and I wanted to create a boutique space where we could craft high-quality wines from the best vineyards and manage the entire process ourselves.
In 2011, Cabana Winery was born. We started out in Sacramento, focusing on growing our production, and then moved to Lodi as we expanded. At Cabana, we take pride in our small-batch approach—fermenting in small lots and aging our wines in French oak barrels. With 30 years of winemaking experience, I blend each wine to perfection. Today, we offer 18 unique wines sourced from Lodi, Napa, and Amador counties.
What Makes Us Unique
Cabana Winery is special because of its urban location in Lodi. Instead of traveling to a distant vineyard, you can enjoy our cozy tasting room right in the city. This setting makes it easy for everyone to drop by and enjoy a glass of our exceptional wine. Our relaxed and inviting atmosphere makes us a great spot for wine enthusiasts of all levels.
The name “Cabana” reflects our philosophy that making wine should be as enjoyable as a day at the beach. Coming from New England, where beach days are rare, this idea feels especially meaningful to us. We aim to create a laid-back, enjoyable experience for all who visit.
Our Award-Winning Wines
At Cabana Winery, we’re passionate about producing outstanding wines. We carefully select grapes from the best vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Amador, and Lodi.
