Acampo

Acampo is a quaint town in California’s Lodi wine region, often referred to as the “Zinfandel Capital of the World.” While small in size, Acampo is big on character, with its rolling vineyards and family-owned wineries creating a close-knit community feel. The area’s Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, provides the perfect conditions for ripening grapes, particularly old-vine Zinfandel.

Acampo’s wines are known for their bold, fruit-forward profiles, often featuring notes of blackberry, cherry, and spice. Beyond Zinfandel, the area produces excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, showcasing Lodi’s versatility. With its rustic charm and commitment to quality, Acampo has become a hidden gem for wine lovers seeking authentic California flavors.

Acampo is derived from Spanish and Italian, and it means “field” or “countryside.”
