Woodbridge Winery plants to celebrate the grape harvest with fine wine and Italian food next week, and Lodi wine lovers are invited to take part. Festa dell’ uva! — Italian for “grape festival” — will be held under tents outdoors. The long table covered in a traditional red-checkered tablecloth encourages guests to make new friends and enjoy a dinner like family.

“You can’t block yourself off from everyone else,” said Bill Ohlhauser, wine club manager at Woodbridge Winery. Dinner will be the centerpiece, featuring chicken, pasta, bread and salad. An accordion player will provide live music, and games like cornhole will be available to pass the time with new friends, he said. This year’s event follows a successful harvest celebration last year.
