Here is something I’ve never thought of; making miniature stuff. Discover the art of miniatures in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop at the Lodi Community Art Center. In the first class of a new creative series, you’ll learn how to sculpt realistic 1:12 scale dollhouse grape bunches, which is an unusually specific, high-detail project that’s perfect for collectors, hobbyists, and anyone who loves tiny, intricate work. This is a fully guided, screen-free afternoon where you can slow down, work with your hands, and immerse yourself in the satisfying rhythm of shaping, detailing, and assembling each grape cluster. All tools and materials are provided, so you can simply show up, create, and leave with a unique miniature piece you crafted yourself.

The workshop takes place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Lodi Community Art Center. Participants will learn beginner-friendly sculpting techniques, get personalized feedback in a small-group setting, and receive priority registration for future miniature-making classes in the series. The class is open to all experience levels; ages 12 and up with a parent or guardian, or 18+ independently, and is especially suited to those who enjoy detailed handwork and working with small tools.

Estate Rosé Soirée | Saturday, June 13 | 2:30 – 7:30 PM |

Cheers to the soirée that started it all! Some traditions are worth honoring, and this one is officially ours now. Join WOO GIRL! Cellars at historic Langford Manor on the Mokelumne River for the Estate Rosé Soirée, an afternoon of earned euphoria where linen, lace, and unapologetically pretty details are the dress code. This intentionally intimate gathering is built for slow pours, golden-hour photos, and that soft, sparkling feeling you only get when the setting, the soundtrack, and the wine are all in sync.

Guests can choose from two ticket experiences. With the NO DISCO admission (2:30 PM–7:00 PM), you’ll enjoy a welcome pour of estate rosé, paella with salad and bread, a WOO GIRL! signature macaron, access to the floral photo wall and camera setup, shopping at the pop-up boutique and Hat Bar, plus water stations throughout the garden.

The FULL EXPERIENCE (2:30 PM–9:00 PM) adds a sunset gathering and silent disco: you’ll get a welcome pour of estate rosé, paella with salad and bread, two signature macarons, one Gelée (a wine-forward treat made with estate rosé), a cupcake from the in-house pastry chef, a silent disco headset with live DJs on a draped dance floor, photo wall access, boutique shopping, and water stations to keep you glowing, not wilting.

Tickets are required, and once it’s full, it’s full—this is a curated, close-knit celebration rather than a crowded festival.

Wine Club Members save $25 at every tier, so it’s the perfect excuse to join and make sure you never miss another night like this. This is a 21+ event; valid ID is required at check-in, and outside alcohol is not permitted.

Seating is first come, first served, with a dress code of “Historic Manor Chic”: think linen and lace in shades of rosé, blush, cream, or champagne. Slip into something beautiful, step into the garden, and let the river, vines, and music take care of the rest.

Lodi Flower Festival | Saturday, June 27th | 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM |

Lodi Flower Festival Is Back and It Belongs on Your Summer Bucket List!

If you're looking for the perfect summer Saturday with the fam, mark your calendars now: the Lodi Flower Festival is coming to Jessie's Grove Winery on June 27th from 11AM to 4PM, and it's shaping up to be one of the most feel-good events of the season.

Presented by The Oak Grove Flower Company, this festival is set across a stunning 5-acre flower farm where you can wander the fields, hand-pick your own zinnias, and grab fresh-cut bouquets to take home. Think sunscreen, sundresses, and a mason jar full of blooms…AKA pure summer magic.

But it's not just flowers. With 50+ vendors, food, and wine slushies on-site, there's plenty to sip, snack, and shop your way through. DJ Omar will be keeping the vibes going all afternoon, so expect good music, great energy, and more than a few photo-worthy moments along the way.

KAT Country 103’s Country In The Grove | Saturday, May 29th | Gates Open 5:30 PM

Some concerts you attend. Others you feel in your chest. The KAT Country 103 Country In The Grove show at Jessie's Grove Winery is shaping up to be the latter — and if you've been sleeping on a proper country night out this summer, consider this your wake-up call.

Headlining the night is Ashley McBryde, and if that name doesn't already have you reaching for your boots, let us fill you in.

Meet the Headliner:

Ashley McBryde is not your average Nashville star. The Arkansas-born singer-songwriter cut her teeth playing country music in biker bars, and that raw, unfiltered energy never left her. She's a GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM award winner, a Grand Ole Opry member, and one of the most respected voices in modern country music.

Her breakout hit "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" earned recognition from The New York Times as one of the best songs of the year — and she's only gotten better since. From the RIAA Platinum-certified "One Night Standards" to her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, "Never Wanted To Be That Girl," Ashley has a knack for writing songs that hit exactly where you live. Expect a set full of the kind of lyrics that make you grab whoever's next to you and say "this one's ours."

An Incredible Supporting Lineup

Opening the night is Greylan James, one of Nashville's most exciting rising stars. He's the ACM Award-winning co-writer behind Jordan Davis' smash hit "Next Thing You Know" and has written cuts for Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, and more — but now he's stepping fully into his own spotlight as a recording artist. His sound is warm, sincere, and built for exactly this kind of warm summer night.

Rounding out the bill is local favorite Dustin Heer, a Bay Area-based performer with a versatile, crowd-pleasing style that spans country, classic rock, and everything in between. Three acts, one perfect evening.

Picture it: golden hour fading over the vines at Jessie's Grove, a cold drink in your hand, cowboy boots in the grass, and Ashley McBryde's voice rolling out under the open sky. This is the kind of night Lodi summers were made for.

Bring your partner and two-step under the stars. Round up the friend group and make a whole night of it. Gates open at 5:30 PM so you've got time to settle in before the show kicks off at 7:00 PM. It's all ages, it's all vibes, and it's the most fun you'll have on a weeknight all season.

Tickets are $35 General Admission — grab yours before they're gone.
