This not only covers direct payments to the University but also will help you anticipate the indirect expenses tailored to your student's specific needs. It's all part of ensuring a smooth, stress-free transition into college life.

Lodi Wineries & Tasting Rooms

Lodi is just a 20 minute drive from campus and is known as the Zinfandel Capital of the World, because their local vines produce about 40 percent of the premium Zinfandel in California. With old-growth vines dating back to the late 1800s, and wine-making traditions dating back generations, today Lodi is home to 85+ wineries.
