WELCOME TO LODI
Thank you for reading the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 Business Directory and
Relocation Guide. Our chamber is proud to be the preeminent organization representing the small
businesses that are the heartbeat of the Lodi community. From charming boutiques to cozy cafes, our
local entrepreneurs bring creativity, passion and a unique flair that defines our town. These
businesses, often family-owned and multi-generational, are the foundation of our local economy and add
to the close-knit, friendly atmosphere that makes Lodi so special.
What an exciting time to be in Lodi. It's been a season that has ushered in new developments and
revitalization of many public spaces. Our treasured Lodi Lake has been enhanced for beauty and
accessibility. Improvements include reconstructing the southern and Hughes Beach parking lots, the
eastern access road, the southern restroom building and restrooms added at Hughes Beach and the nature
area parking lot. Some of our playground equipment has been upgraded; new picnic structures at Hughes
Beach; and concrete pathways, lighting and picnic tables also add to the beauty that is already there.
These upgrades make Lodi Lake an even better place for families and visitors to enjoy.
If you have never been, don’t miss the Lodi Street Faire, hosted each spring and fall by the Lodi
Chamber of Commerce! Held on the first Sunday of May and October, the Street Faire turns our downtown
into a lively marketplace, attracting vendors and visitors from all over Northern California. With over
400 hundred booths featuring antiques, crafts and delicious food, it’s a celebration unlike any
other in the San Joaquin Valley. Mark your calendar and join us for a fun-filled day!
In this year’s edition of the Lodi Relocation Guide and Business Directory, we have some exciting
new features. Check out our Five Questions with the Lodi Fire Department and see why our local
heroes take safety so seriously. We also feature extended stay hotel options, including the new
Residence Inn, and spotlight popular coffee spots in the area and one of Lodi’s wineries that

Lodi’s Landmark Water Tower
• The tower was built in 1988, and it’s located on West Locust Street.
• The Lodi tower is visible from virtually anywhere in historic downtown Lodi.
• At 120 feet tall, it’s the tallest structure in Lodi.
• The 360-degree view from the top includes Lodi, downtown Stockton and Rancho Seiko.
• It holds 100,000 gallons of water. (Lodi also has two 1-million-gallon water storage tanks.)
• The tower used to be plain white. It got a makeover in 2006, when it was painted by Tim Taylor
and Clark Schaffer of Art Thou Painting.
• The initial idea to paint the tower came from an 11-year-old girl named Sarah Costa, who wrote a
letter to the editor of the Lodi News-Sentinel in 2001.
• Money to paint the water tower came from a project called “Art in Public Places,”
sponsored by the Lodi Improvement Committee and the Lodi Arts Commission.
• The antennas on the side of the tower service wireless networks and public safety
communications.
• The tower is maintained by Lodi Public Works staff. They reach the top by entering a door at the
bottom of the tower, climbing up a ladder inside a narrow tube that runs up the middle of the tower and
exiting through a manhole cover on the top.
• District 5 Councilmember and former Mayor Mikey Hothi climbed to the top of the tower with a Public Works maintenance crew in 2023. He recorded his climb and posted it to Instagram. Scan the QR code to see his video!
Community Events
The two largest parties in downtown Lodi are both hosted by the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce: the
Lodi Street Faire and the Lodi Farmers Market. These events aren't just places to snag some fresh
produce and unique crafts; they're all about bringing our community together, having a blast and making
memories.
Picture this: twice a year, Lodi transforms into a buzzing hub of local awesomeness. The Lodi Street
Faire takes over, filling the streets with local artists, unique merchants and food wizards. If you're
into finding one-of-a-kind treasures of all kinds, this is your playground. People are seen leaving the
fair with arms full of clothes, records, artwork or even small trees!
Kids can be seen eating funnel cake, sipping fresh squeeze lemonade and perusing shops full of toys and
cute collectables. The fall offers a pumpkin patch featuring all types of interesting gourds. In the
spring, the police and fire departments bring out their vehicles and kids can be seen playing a fireman
and Swat team member or pointing at the drone flying overhead.
Then there's the Lodi Farmers Market, a weekly fiesta for foodies and social butterflies. Located right
in the heart of Lodi, this market bridges the gap between farmers and food lovers. It's where you meet
the folks who grow your grub and learn about sustainable farming practices. It's like going behind the
scenes of your dinner plate.
As you wander through the vibrant stalls, you'll find fresh, local produce that's as Instagram-worthy
as it is delicious. But it's not just about the food. The market is where social bonds grow. With a beer
garden located near the live band stage, and a wine garden on the other end being serenaded by an
acoustic stage, it's the perfect place to chill, chat and enjoy the community vibe.
These gatherings don't just vanish once they're over. They leave a lasting impression. Supporting local
businesses isn't just a feel-good gesture; it's a ticket to a strong local economy. These events bring
thousands of locals and visitors alike to the downtown area, showcasing downtown’s boutiques,
tasting rooms and restaurants.
And that sense of camaraderie and shared experiences at these events? It doesn't stop when the stalls
pack up. It's the glue that holds the community together. It's the stories you share with neighbors, the
friends you make and the knowledge that you're part of something bigger than yourself that keep these
events so popular.
The Lodi Street Faire and the Lodi Farmers Market are more than just places to buy stuff. They're
expressions of our community spirit. They're where we come together, have fun, and celebrate our town's
unique charm. They remind us of the power of local love, shared experiences and the wonderful sense of
belonging.
Whether you're indulging in scrumptious bites, discovering quirky crafts or just enjoying good company, these events shout out the vibrant tapestry of our community life.

LIVING IN LODI
Thinking about moving to Lodi?
You’re in for a treat. Not only is there a lot to do around every corner, every neighborhood has
a treasure trove of living spaces just waiting to welcome you home.
Lodi’s small western community of Sunwest has highly rated schools, popular restaurants, parks
and wine vineyards nearby. There are regular community events and access to downtown Lodi, where there
are even more wineries and the town’s famed farmers market. Sunwest is a popular residential area
with a mix of housing options.
Home of Lodi’s famed Street Faire, Central Lodi sits in the middle of the city and is close to
downtown. There is a varied selection of home types (at various price points) here, from new
construction to midcentury homes. The area also has several open green spaces. Residents enjoy local
shopping and dining options here and nearby in Downtown Lodi.
North Lodi is known for its affordability, good schools and low crime rate. Located on the outskirts of
the city, North Lodi is surrounded by vineyards and farmland. Its homes are affordable and range from
new builds to midcentury styles. The area is home to Lodi High School, which is highly rated, and
residents can easily access Lodi Lake, the farmers market and wineries from the area.
East Lodi is close to plenty of local amenities and is in close proximity to other areas of Lodi and
sits east of the downtown core. Events at Blakely Park are a draw here as is Lodi Lake. East Lodi is
also not too far from Sacramento and Stockton by way of Highway 99. You’ll see a mix of newer and
older homes here.
Downtown Lodi draws visitors and residents alike with its wine culture and tasting venues. There are
multiple historic sites, such as the Lodi Arch and the opera house. Downtown Lodi is the vibrant mix of
specialty shops, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, a cinema and more.

5 Questions With . . .
On television, firefighters are made to look like people with herculean strength who overcome
relationship woes and combat fiery challenges in a single episode. But we decided to speak with two
members of the Lodi Fire Department to get the real scoop.
Fire Marshal, Lodi Fire Department
Smart is a Battalion Chief who oversees the fire prevention bureau and organizes all fire prevention
activities for the Lodi Fire Department, including inspections, plan reviews and preparedness plans for
the city. He started his fire career as a volunteer in 2001. He worked for the Stockton Fire Department
for 22 years and recently accepted the position as fire marshal for the LFD a few months ago.
Our primary emergencies are medical emergencies. That could be a typical medical illness, but we also
respond to vehicle accidents, where we render medical care and extrication if someone is pinned in. We
also take priority of containment of hazardous materials and heavy rescues in confined spaces, like in
underground tanks, pipes and tunnels.
It’s still true what we’ve heard since childhood:
Make sure that there is a fire detector and carbon dioxide detector. Make sure that the batteries are
regularly changed (although newer detectors come with sealed batteries) and keep an extinguisher readily
available.
With families, we go out to schools and teach about emergency preparedness plans. You don’t want
to think about what to do when you need it. You have to have a plan ahead of time.
One way to do this: cleanliness is very helpful. Kitchen fires and electrical fires - in many cases
they could be avoided. They spread quicker because of the elements around them. A light coat of grease
can spread fire much quicker than if it were wiped off and clean. An accumulation of paper, trash, mail
close to an ignition source will contribute to the fire spread, too.
We are all guilty of being busy, but we have to discipline ourselves to be prepared for any potential
situation.
In the end, the result of many different fires can be similar in nature, but drastic differences in
outcomes, depending on the environment.
I have, and it happens, but it’s not common. I’ve had second-degree burns, but usually
it’s from steam, not fire.
Our PPE (personal protective equipment) is designed very well. There are situations where it’s
not foolproof; there are risks involved. Our equipment is designed to keep us very protected. It’s
not fireproof, but it can withstand significant temperatures.
You would think that fire and heat were the leading hazards, but the biggest problem is the smoke in an
environment. It can be fatal.
The most common is an ABC extinguisher. It’s the most common and general.
A - For lightweight combustible materials, like wood, paper, cloth.
B - For flammable liquids, petroleum and greases.
C- For fires involving electrical equipment.
In my broad experience, the leading cause of residential fires in general is kitchen/cooking fires.
I’d also argue that people should be cognizant and pay attention to their homes, in general. If
you have a breaker that keeps tripping or lights flickering or an outlet with a flash, that could be a
big hazard for an electrical fire. Electrical fires can be hidden for some time, if the short happens
inside the wall.
Another big concern: lithium ion batteries (in computers, ebikes, laptops, vape pens). Pay attention to
devices that have these batteries. Don’t leave them on the charger all the time. If they are
damaged, they could self ignite. And when they catch fire, they can get pretty violent. Store them
outside in the garage. It’s an efficient technology with a lot of battery life and storage, but
we’re finding there’s much more of a fire potential and hazard than with the alkaline
batteries that we grew up with.
Engine Captain, Lodi Fire Department
Captain Kris Graves has been in fire service 20 years, 17 of which he has served with the Lodi Fire
Department. He is part of a crew of three.
I don’t react the same way to stress as most people. We are trained to see and mitigate certain
things. I also feel fortunate to have a wife that is very understanding. In our home, I have a room for
napping. In other words, there are times that I do try to get away because things can get so frenetic
and you need to recharge. I also have dogs at home that love me to death.
It looks very real, but it is made for TV. To a degree, yes, firefighters do stop what they’re
doing when the siren rings. And, yes, there’s the camaraderie. That’s absolutely real, but a
lot of the other stuff is played up a little bit.
It was hard to get a job with a fire department when I was looking. It took me three years of actively
testing (in Santa Rosa, Long Beach, Sacramento), which is not uncommon. So, why do I want to do this
job? I want to help people. You get to see people at their absolutely worst day and then try to make it
better. It’s a needed service, and they want us to be there. I want to make a difference. I want
to be that safe space, help and breath that they need.
We need honesty, integrity and need to be able to trust each other. My guys need to know I have their
best interest at heart. Firefighters must also be hardworking and have a willingness to work. Some of
the things that we have to see and mitigate most humans don’t have to, but you still need to get
the job done.
The big difference about living in California than in any other part of the country is that we deal
with wild fires every year. Just this past year, in the Palisades, there were millions in property
loss.
If we are sending blanket statements, saying leave your home and evacuate - GO. We need you to listen
to the orders as they’re given. Educate yourself about what fire service is about.
Don’t just walk by a fire house. Go in and have a conversation. Talk with someone and then go
from there.
When you realize what fire service is, it makes everyone’s job easier.
We’re here for you. We do this job for you. I do what I do for this community. It’s a crazy thing.

OLIVE OIL & WINE FRESH FROM THE VINE
Calivines Winery & Olive Mill offers a unique farm-to-table experience where visitors can taste
award-winning olive oils, sample wines and learn about a century-long family tradition of farming. The
property combines a new winery with a 20-year-old olive oil business, creating a destination where
agriculture, flavor and community come together.
“We’ve actually been farming in this area for over 100 years, but it wasn’t until
about 20 years ago that we put in a permanent olive crop,” said Julie Coldani, owner of Calivines.
“That was really the first step in creating a brand for our olive oil. One thing led to another,
and now we do everything from tree to bottle.”
The olive trees themselves are a central attraction. “One of our olive orchards surrounds the
tasting room,” she said. “They’re planted in a super high-density system, which is
different from traditional olive trees. They’re on trellises, planted in rows, so we can machine
harvest them. The machine goes over the top and shakes the olives off, which is efficient but still
maintains the integrity of the fruit. We harvest once a year, in October or November, right after the
grape harvest.”
Variety is at the heart of Calivines’ olive oils.
“For olives, we primarily grow over 150 acres of Arbequina, and we also have some
Koroneiki,” Coldani explained. “Then, we handpick Ascolano and Frantoio. For our flavored
oils, we literally crush the olives with fresh produce on top. Lemon, limes, blood orange, garlic,
rosemary, basil, we make about 14 flavors this way. That’s one reason we’ve been so
successful. We’re the most-awarded olive oil company in the US making flavored oils this
way.”
Visitors can explore the oils every day. “We have a self-serve olive oil bar open daily where
guests can taste different oils and balsamic vinegars,” she said. “And then we also offer
seated olive oil tastings. We bring the oils to you with fresh bread and talk you through the process of
growing and preparing them while you taste. There’s even a video in the tasting room showing the
harvesting process.”
The tasting experience often extends to food.
“We try to incorporate the oils into the small bites we serve at the winery,” Coldani
offered. “Guests can see what they can do with the oils in recipes, and surprisingly, we even have
a dessert on the menu—olive oil on ice cream—which is delicious.”
The winery is a newer addition, celebrating its fourth year.
“The winery and tasting room are fairly new, but it made sense to expand because we were already
connected to the land and the produce. Now, visitors can enjoy both olive oil and wine in the same
beautiful space.”
Guests can enjoy wine tastings paired with small bites, browse a gift shop of seasonal merchandise and
gourmet foods and even host private or corporate events on the property.
The current business model was different from what they had planned.
“Originally, we planned to just farm and sell the olives,” Coldani said. “We had a
contract with someone to buy them, and we milled them into oil intending to sell in bulk, but we
couldn’t find a buyer. So, we realized we needed a label. We bottled and sold at farmers markets
while still working our regular jobs. Eventually, we invested in our own mill, and my husband, Mike,
handles the milling. It’s a true family business. My sister-in-law and in-laws, and some amazing
team members work with us every day.”
Community engagement is a priority for Calivines.
“We have loyal club members, so we’re always trying new events, music and activities, and
we change our menu regularly. When you’re selling a healthy product, it feels good because
you’re helping your customers. They can taste the oil, see the trees and touch the leaves. We feel
good about providing this for Lodi, providing jobs and giving back to the community as much as we
can.”
Calivines Winery & Olive Mill is located at 13950 N. Thornton Road in Lodi, CA, 95242. For more information, call (209) 210-3162 or visit www.calivirgin.com.

Not Just a Wine Town
Picture yourself on vacation in wine country, setting the tone for each day, your tranquil smile
reflected in the fresh black coffee, the floral scent of a light roast rising with the steam, which
gently blurs the green fields of the Central Valley. The trip's impermanence makes each sip more
precious. Or maybe you're a latte person, reluctant to distort your barista's artwork in the foam, the
tip of a heart stretching from your lip like the string of a balloon as you float up to cloud nine.
Lucky for you, Lodi – long renowned for its world-class wines – features a wide array of
lesser-known coffee shops that locals love.
True to the name, this family-owned cafe in the heart of downtown Lodi inspires connection and
creativity with a cozy aesthetic, featuring earth tones and leather furniture. Venture beyond the
classics with specialty drinks, like lavender-blended coffee and the Aztec Mocha. Local Natalie Morlino,
who doesn't drink caffeine, still loves going to Inspire because it "feels like a Hallmark
movie." Where's your next scene?
https://trailcoffeeroasters.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorv3h0K3tceLph7Ng_cLnVBBWiHGqquQU8pH-pQWSqRe9L6NQru
Connoisseurs love Trail Coffee’s emphasis on craft, the single-origin beans from the shop’s
own farms in Nicaragua and local, small-batch roasting. Dedication to quality transcends coffee here to
include freshly baked, in-house pastries. If you're looking for the best coffee in Lodi, you're hot on
the trail.

Open seven days a week until 8 p.m., Brew House on School Street provides a charming place to recharge
between a day of wine tasting and an evening out. If your group can't decide between caffeine and
alcohol, Brew House accommodates, offering everything from coffee and tea to cocktails and wine
slushies. They also have a location on Cluff.

If you're in the mood for a more vibrant ambiance, consider Cafecito, which offers horchata lattes and
fresh pan dulce in a lively yet cozy environment. Frequent community events make it a great place to
meet new friends and make lasting memories with old ones. The horchata latte, though. Seriously?
Yum.
https://visitlodi.com/directory/house-of-coffees/
This gem has been a favorite of locals and visitors alike for over 30 years. To find the epitome of
Lodi's small-town appeal, look no further. House of Coffees is known for not only its quality and
aesthetics but also its exceptional service and hospitality.
https://visitlodi.com/directory/julis-village-coffee-shop/
Don't let the name mislead; Juli's is a beloved local diner with classic comfort food. If your appetite
surpasses the aforementioned pastries, this is the place. Listen to the bacon sizzle. Watch the fluffy
pancakes flip. You're in California: add some avocado to that made-to-order omelette. And wash it all
down with their bottomless coffee. It doesn't take a village to know Juli's is the place to eat and grab
a cup of great coffee.

ADOPT A PET IN LODI
Shelters are filled with animals waiting for a forever home. Are you looking for a cuddly new family
member? Why not adopt from a nearby shelter? Not convinced that you should? Consider these reasons to
adopt a shelter animal:
Every year, millions of animals enter shelters and must face euthanasia due to overcrowding. By
adopting, you’re saving that pet’s life.
Shelter animals have an incredible capacity for love and appreciation. Many of them have faced
abandonment or hardship. They’re looking for someone to love deeply.
Adoption fees are generally much lower than purchasing a pet from a breeder or pet store, and most
shelters include vaccinations, spaying/neutering and even microchipping in the adoption fee.
Adopting from a shelter means you’re supporting the efforts of organizations dedicated to animal
welfare. Your adoption fee helps to fund rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
Numerous studies indicate that having a pet can lower stress levels and increase happiness quotients.
The companionship of a shelter animal can enhance your overall mental and emotional well-being.
Adopting a shelter animal is not just about finding a pet; it’s about making a connection that
will impact you as well as your new furry friend. If you’re considering bringing a new pet into
your home, visit your local shelter first. You may change two lives in the process!
