Heaven’s Gate Vineyard
LAVA was founded in January 2001 for the purpose of promoting amateur wine making in the Lodi, California area. Through intelligent conversation at monthly meetings, members share ideas and resources concerning wine making. Regular guest speakers, drawn from the local commercial wine industry, provide members an opportunity for improving techniques from trimming grape vines to bottling finished homemade wines. The organization gathers wine making resources and serves as an informal clearing house for information and ideas for its membership and the general public. LAVA the meets every third Thursday of each month from 7 until 9 PM. Meetings are held at different locations for educational purposes.
Mike Johnston is the current President of LAVA starting his leadership role in November 2016. He will lead the club until December 2018 when he will be up for re-election.
