LODI – There will be plenty of wine pouring this weekend at the Lodi Wine Festival. The best part is it's all local.

"It's our way to showcase the wine industry in our area," Lodi Grape Festival CEO Mark Armstrong said. "There be wine tasting, food, music. This is a celebration of our wine industry, and most of our wines are local."

Not only is it a time for the nearly 40 wines with over 200 varieties, but it's also bringing a major boost to the city's economy.

"We draw people to Lodi," Armstrong continued. "They come here and taste and maybe over the next, you know, the next day [or] in the weeks to come, it will bring people back to Lodi. Or you find your new wine and you want to go to that winery and taste it."

But the wine industry is struggling.

As CBS Sacramento reported last month, the Allied Grape Growers Association is asking winegrowers to pull thousands of acres of vines with nearly 12,000 of those in Lodi.

This is on top of lower wine intake and cheap imports coming into the United States.

Now, there's something else winemakers are keeping a close eye on — the president's tariffs.

"The tariffs have created a great deal of uncertainty across the wine world," Lodi Winegrape Association Executive Director Stuart Spencer explained. "While one hand, we've seen a lot of orders canceled going into Canada and some of the European countries, there are also orders being canceled coming into here. Where this all settles out is to be seen."

Canada is California's number one wine export.

Having to hold or outright cancel orders causes a trickle-down effect, especially for communities like Lodi where many winemakers have been cultivating this soil for generations.

This makes events like the wine festival that much more important.

"We have many of our families that are fifth, sixth generation farmers. They've been farming wine grapes since they first moved to California in the 1800s and this is really hard for them," Spencer said. 

Spencer went on to say that the best the community can do is support the wine industry either by purchasing local wine at the grocery store or attending events like the festival.

VIP tickets are sold out but there are still general admission tickets available online or at the door.
