Overview
Located in Lodi CA, Spenker Family Farm is home to Spenker Winery, est. 1994, and a brand-new Grade A Goat Dairy. We make WINE AND CHEESE right here on the farm.Our products are hand-crafted. The wines are made exclusively from our estate grown, hand harvested, certified sustainable grapes. And the creamery makes small-batch, fresh cheeses from the milk of our own dairy goats.
Since everything is made right here, visitors to the farm get to see the process behind the delicious food. You can see the silly goats, watch cheese being made, and picnic under the trees by the peaceful vineyard.
We’re a boutique, family-run farm. Look for the big red barns set back in the vineyard.
Tasting Fee: $10, refunded with purchase

What an absolute gem of a place! We always have such a genuinely joyful time here. It’s a beautiful, family-run farm, and you can feel how much love they put into everything. The goats — mamas and babies alike — are impossibly cute and so much fun to be around. Their goat cheese and wine are delicious, and the whole setting, with the garden and chickens, is just perfect. We’ve done a couple of their events and they were a blast — goodnight goats (babies everywhere) and painting with goats. Next up for us is goat yoga! We also sponsor a mama goat which comes with some nice perks. This is one of those rare places that just makes you happy the moment you arrive. Highly recommend!
My favorite place for a unique Friday night. I got to know them during Lodi wine and chocolate festival and came back for family night and adult night. They also do goat yoga, yet to experience for me. During family night you get to spend time cuddling baby goats and the night ends with milk and cookies 🍪 Adult night comes with small bites and wine tasting. It’s such a fun time, I keep coming back. See calendar on their website for the next events
Baby Goats! 🐐🐐🐐 So adorably cute!!❤️ Tonight we attended "Good Night Goats" where we read a story to the baby Goats after which they were put to bed for the night. The baby goats had very distinct personalities! Some were shy, some rambunctious, some very friendly, some hopped right on your lap, and some became very attached & comfortable with you that they actually fell asleep right on your lap! Some were a bit bigger than our cats at home. After the baby Goats were put to bed we enjoyed goat cookies with a cup of goat milk of course which was delicious! Everyone was so kind, friendly & knowledgeable regarding the goats, farm, wine & cheeses especially the "Goat Girls"🐐 We've been to a few goat farms from Grass Valley to Half Moon Bay & this farm by far, is absolutely the best, most hands on, cleanest place to get your baby goat fix on & best of all it's only 10 minutes away from our home!!! Can't wait to come back , and taste the wines & goat cheeses. Thanks to all that put this little slice of heaven together. Will definitely be back🐐
The place is so beautiful surrounded by fields of vines, the barn and the tasting room. Then there were the goats... Dozens of them from two weeks old to years of age. What a delight they were! No kids of my own just my wife who is goat crazy and she absolutely got her fix. Sitting in the barn with three or four little goats jumping into her lap and gnawing at shoe strings was her heaven! Well be back for more! The family! They were the kindest and most hospitable people I've met in a while. Just good people with good values. The cheese! We bought two types of goat cheese and loved them spread out on bread. Next time we'll try one of their samplers to get a better idea of the flavors offered. We can't speak to the wine as we weren't there for that but next time... Yes well try it. All in all a great place for all ages.
We came here today for a cheese tasting and my son and I had a great time. I don't drink but I love that they offered a cheese tasting and you get to see their goats that produce the milk for it. Plenty of social distancing observed. The tables were a good distance apart from each other and they have signs up on their door requiring face masks. We went into the little storefront that resembled a barn and the lady behind the counter was extremely nice and friendly. Bought 2 cheese tastings and a 4oz container of Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt. We went outside, said hello to all of the goats and then picked our table. They brought everything to us and offered us cups of water. We did the tasting at our own leisure (which is great when you have a picky 7 year old), and enjoyed the outdoors. When we were done, headed back in and she helped us pick out some squash they had for sale and was just really nice the whole time. I ended up buying the herb spread and the gouda-like cheese and the bag of zucchini and yellow squash for $25. The cheese tasting was $5 each and the 4oz Froyo was $4 so in all for this lovely afternoon, I spent $39 here. Keep in mind that wine tastings are $10 each so I saved a couple dollars there. I do highly recommend this little day trip though. It was a much needed stress break so if you're out this way, come visit.
