LODI - Wine and Roses in Lodi can easily be described as being luxurious, elegant and intimate as a romantic venue in the Central Valley as well as being a desired location for business meetings.Prior to a dramatic restoration project a generation ago, Wine and Roses had its beginning as a farm house with a half dozen rooms along with a dining room with a sumptuous menu. It was basically a bed and breakfast back in those early years.The dining room opened onto a large back porch that doubled as a stage on Friday nights with entertainers playing to guests who gathered at tables on a landscaped yard with its perimeter of gardens.It was a special night out for couples and their friends in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Weddings were scheduled later in the weekends with the bride and her attendants gathering in the bride’s room with the woman about to be married often sitting in the middle of a king size bed with her train spread out across an appropriate toned quilt.Today Wine and Roses is much more than the simple farmhouse setting and the landscaped gardens, it is a top-notch bed and breakfast hotel with event spaces and day spas and sought-after as a wedding location.
