Check visitlodi.com for more about what is happening in Lodi!The history of Wine & Roses took root in the rich San Joaquin Valley soil nearly a century ago. It began with a sack of gold coins given to Burton Towne by his grandfather in 1901. With this small treasure, Burton Towne purchased our current five-acre site plus forty-six surrounding acres for agricultural endeavors. In 1984, the Burton Towne estate became available for purchase and Wine & Roses Country Inn was born. The original sale included our 8,000-square-foot Victorian home, which was built by the Townes in 1902 and nestled on two acres. In 1988 the remaining three acres of the original Towne Family Homestead became available. With the additional property purchased, the first meals were served and the first guests slept peacefully at Wine & Roses Country Inn. In the last couple of years, the expansion of Wine & Roses has created an environment that combines the heritage of our community with the vision of a growing empire.
