When Chef Lacey Franklin joined Oak Farm Vineyards, she brought a fresh farm-to-fork vision to life, blending Napa Valley expertise with the bounty of Lodi’s fields. With a background shaped by world-class kitchens and a love for local ingredients, she’s crafted an all-day menu that’s delighting guests — from house-made gnocchi to coconut ginger ceviche. Paired with Oak Farm’s award-winning wines and relaxed estate atmosphere, it’s a food and wine experience like no other.

One more stop? Step inside the charming, modernized barn at Oak Farm Vineyards for a traditional tasting experience ($10) at the bar, where an illuminated OF sign cries out for Instagramming. Or opt for a private tasting experience ($30, appointment only) of library wines and charcuterie on the East Patio, where towering oak trees provide shade.
