About Us
Our Heritage
Six Generations of Heart, Soil, and Soul
Nestled along the banks of the historic Mokelumne River in Acampo, California, McKenzie Vineyards is more than a winery—it is a living legacy. Established by Everett Thomas McKenzie (1895–1948) as an expansion of his father's original homestead, our family-owned estate has been nurtured by six generations of McKenzies who share a profound love for the land.
Our Terroir
The Lodi Terroir, Perfected
Our vines thrive in the heart of the renowned Lodi Wine Appellation, cradled by the natural beauty of ancient Valley Oaks. Here, nature strikes a rare balance: intense afternoon warmth gives way to cooling evening breezes, creating the ideal climate for exceptional grapes.
Our Craft
Crafted with Care, From Vine to Bottle
We believe true quality cannot be rushed. That is why we hand-pick every cluster of fruit at peak ripeness, then ferment and age our wines in carefully selected barrels. The result? Distinctive, artisan wines that offer a truly unique expression of the Lodi appellation.
Our Invitation

We invite you to slow down, relax, and savor the fruits of our labor—a heartfelt tribute to the generations of McKenzies past, and those yet to come.
