Acampo: Wineries, Vineyards and Tastings

Acampo brings together different wine experiences and a distinctive landscape: at the wineries, you can explore a range of tasting formats, while vineyards, walnut orchards and the Mokelumne River shape the setting at Viaggio Estate & Winery. Each venue has its own focus—from a wide selection of wines to tastings in a barrel room. You can tailor your trip to what matters most to you: the wines, the families’ stories or the landscape.

Tastings in a range of formats

At Peltier Winery & Vineyards, guests can sample 24 different wines using a WineStation system; current availability may vary. The wines are grown at the winery and certified sustainable. You can use the WineStations on your own or, after making a reservation, have samples brought to your table; reservation and service details may change. If you would rather put together your own tasting, Viaggio Estate & Winery offers a different format: each flight includes six wines selected weekly by the wine club manager. Tasting flights are offered seven days a week; check current operating details before you arrive. At Peltier, you can focus on the variety of the selection and the way the tasting is served, while at Viaggio, the focus is on a flight that changes weekly.

The setting also varies. Durst Winery & Estate offers year-round wine tastings in an indoor space with wine barrels. At Housley’s Century Oak Winery, visitors can taste wine and learn more about the family’s winemaking history. The offering also includes the family’s hospitality, which has been part of the experience for more than two decades. Check current availability directly with the winery before visiting Housley’s. These examples give you different ways to plan your trip: a particular tasting format, an indoor space with barrels or a glimpse into a family’s winemaking history.

Vineyards and river landscape

The landscape comes into focus at specific wineries. Acquiesce’s estate in Acampo covers 18 acres planted with grapevines. At Viaggio Estate & Winery, vineyards and walnut orchards lie side by side, with the Mokelumne River forming part of the surrounding landscape. At Viaggio, winemaking and the Mokelumne River landscape come together in Acampo. If you’re interested in winegrowing, both the size of Acquiesce’s vineyard and the combination of vineyards, orchards and river at Viaggio can shape your impression of Acampo.

Acampo as a trip-planning destination

If you’re considering Acampo as a vacation destination, the specific differences between the wineries can help you decide what to focus on. Start by deciding whether you’re most interested in exploring different wines and tasting styles, or whether Viaggio’s landscape also appeals to you. The experiences described offer different perspectives; no two tastings need to be alike. It’s a matter of the kind of trip you want, not a blanket recommendation for a particular place to stay.

For a broader look at winegrowing across the wider travel region, consider the Lodi perspective as well. Since the 1870s, five generations of the Lange family have farmed land in the Lodi region. At LangeTwins’ Redwood Bar, guests can create their own tasting flight from a list of single-vineyard wines. These wines are available exclusively at the winery in Lodi. At LangeTwins, visitors can also learn about the vineyards, family stories and sustainable growing methods behind the wines. Check current operating details before visiting.
