Our Story
Our family-owned and operated winery started in the Lodi Appellation in 2001. In Italian, "Macchia" means "the spot." We source our grapes from California's "Best Spots." Macchia Winery has been earning a reputation as a spot where discriminating vino buffs can find small lots of high-quality vintages at some very reasonable prices.

Our Story
Well aware of the potential for quality in Old Vine Zinfandel, long ignored by many winemakers outside the Lodi area, we make multiple Zinfandels, each sporting its distinctive qualities. In addition, we offer some amazing Italian, Spanish, & French varietals such as Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Graciano, and French Colombard. All of our wines are vegan and gluten-free.

Jonathan McMahan is a second-generation winemaker at Macchia. Starting in 2002, he learned early on the importance of this hands-on approach, working with the vineyards and the growers, and showcasing the grapes first and foremost. Over the years, he has collaborated with some of the most renowned winemakers and growers here in Lodi.
Jonathan McMahan is a second-generation winemaker at Macchia. Starting in 2002, he learned early on the importance of this hands-on approach, working with the vineyards and the growers, and showcasing the grapes first and foremost. Over the years, he has collaborated with some of the most renowned winemakers and growers here in Lodi. He and his team continue the Macchia tradition of wines: “we won’t make it if it isn’t good!” After taking over as head winemaker in 2017, he has won numerous awards including "Winery of the Year" at the Monterey International Wine Competition, “Best Winemaker” and “Back Room Gold” at the El Dorado County fair, and his Primitivo Meticulous took "Best of State" in the California State Fair. Despite the long hours and hard work that comes along with the romance of the wine business, we say the venture remains a labor of love - and many enthusiasts say it shows in the wine.

We pick only small lots of the finest grapes available from some of the State's best wine-growing regions; California's "Best Spots." All of our fruit is hand-picked, and quality is our number one priority. Our approach toward winemaking is to enhance each vineyard's personality. Wine-making technology has improved dramatically in the last two decades, but it is still the quality of the fruit that will ultimately determine how good your wine truly is.
Remember, it's all about the grape!
