Delta waterways, valley vineyards

Around Stockton, Ripon, Escalon and Tracy, the San Joaquin Valley meets the waterways of the Delta. Small wineries are scattered among farms and orchards, offering a friendly, uncrowded tasting experience.

Near Tracy, the Tracy Hills appellation rises toward the coastal hills, while the well-known Lodi wine region is just to the north.
