Twisted Barrel Winery

Twisted Barrel Winery began production in 2014, and opened the tasting room in January, 2015. However, Verl Tanner, the Senior Winemaker, has been making wine for family and friends since 1988. Moving from Modesto to Lodi, he joined LAVA, the Lodi Amateur Vintners Association. In 2004, Verl brought his son Mark into the process and their hobby quickly became a passion, perfecting wines that reflected their individual style with broad appeal to a wide range of palates. After a long night of bottling, the family and friends sat down and decided that opening a commercial winery might be the next step. After much deliberation on a name, Twisted Barrel Winery was born.
