Grateful doesn’t quite cover it.
To every chef, winemaker, grower, artisan, sponsor, partner, and guest who showed up, shared their craft, and brought their energy—thank you for making American Fare an unforgettable celebration of the people, flavors, and stories that define Lodi.
From extraordinary culinary talent and passionate vintners to dedicated farmers, growers, and makers, every detail reflected the creativity, generosity, and sense of community that make this region so special.
A heartfelt thank you to Embellish Floral Design for the beautiful Bloom Bar, to A&W Restaurants for bringing their vintage Root Beer Float Truck, and to Visit Lodi and the Lodi Wine Visitor Center for everything they do to champion our wineries, hospitality partners, and the Lodi region.
We are honored to share that American Fare raised $40,000 to benefit the Palmer Family Education Foundation, helping invest in the next generation of hospitality, culinary, and wine professionals.
And to every guest, thank you. Your enthusiasm and generosity are what make events like this possible.
Please continue to visit the tasting rooms, dine at local restaurants, shop from area makers, and celebrate the incredible people who make this community so special.
