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
This winery and goat farm is so cute and the people who run it are so sweet and friendly. We had a great time petting the goats, then went into the winery for wine and cheese tasting. Their wines and goat cheeses are delicious along with their jams. I left with a bottle of wine, 4 flavors of cheese and 2 jams that paired well with the cheeses. If you haven't been to this beautiful winery in Lodi, CA, you're missing a very fun time.
What an amazing place! I am a lover of goat cheese and Spenker Family Farm did not disappoint! I could have spent the entire day just getting to know all of the genuinely awesome folks who work there. I love how friendly everyone is and they allowed me to ask so many questions (oh boy did I ask a lot) as well as they shared a lot of what goes into their delicious foods and wines, including the magic that happens behind the scenes (lots of hard work and true dedication). I could go on and on but one thing that is evident is the fact that this place feels like home to me. You can see how happy everyone is and you can taste it! They take pride in everything that they do. Hands down one of my all time favorite places. If you haven't been, you should definitely stop by!
They were very busy when we visited, and it was an especially blustery day. Sitting outside was not an option. It’s a small, family owned operation, but what makes it unique to other local wineries is the goats and freshly made goat cheeses. We enjoyed the wine and cheese pairing. We left with a Moscato and two chèvre cheeses: a dill and a chocolate cheese. I wanted to smuggle a baby goat home in my purse!
Love the goats and cheese! For the Designated Drivers you can do just a cheese tasting...
The Spenker Family Farm is welcoming to people of all ages. Goats are bred and raised here, with a creamery to produce goat cheese. Grapes are grown, and with that comes the wine to accompany the cheese. Nearby are the chickens for those farm fresh eggs. You might get a chance to meet Houston, the livestock guardian who is an Anatolian Shepard and towers above the Nubian goats. There are many events to interact with the goats through the spring and summer. And let us not forget the humans too, everyone is friendly and a wealth of knowledge for those who come with questions.
Goats, wine, and cherry blossoms! Perfect place to have a picnic and dog friendly!
The yoga class was good for all and the goats were adorable. Only one person in our party drank wine, so they were gracious enough to give the rest nonalcoholic drinks. All the cheese sampled we're delicious!! Such a fun activity.
Awesome wine, nice tasting room, delicious cheese pairings and friendly staff and family! Sooooo Nice!!! Definitely should be on your Lodi itinerary!
have been a member of the creamery club for 2 years. I look forward to getting my monthly dose of goat cuteness, visit their colossal Anotolian shepard and eat some scrumptious, unique cheese. The family and staff are the warmest and most genuine people I know! I feel like part of the family. I do everything I can to support this local business from sponsoring a goat, taking goat yoga and buying the other hand made treasures at the shop! If you are in Lodi, do not miss a chance to take part I. the Spenker Family Farm Experience ! I love you guys!
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🐐
I visited the farm yesterday. The goats were not available for visiting (although they were visible in their fenced area, and very cute) but I had gone there to try the cheeses. I got a tasting flight for $10, which consisted of six tiny (about the size of a small fingertip) pieces of cheese, with a packet of crackers, and a half glass of their quite nice Zin for another $4 or so. I ate in the chummy company of one of the dogs, who was curled up on a chair next to me. The cheeses were quite good: a chevre; a gouda; a couple of semi-soft cheeses, one if which is wine-marbled; a crumbly cheese with jalapeno, and an unusual cheese they call Diablo Sunset. This one is a hard cheese with a cocoa/chili powder rub and a distinct earthy flavor and was the one I bought. I do wish that the cheeses for sale were displayed in their original rounds, to be sliced for sale, as is done in most cheese stores here and abroad. These were small cuts in vacuum sealed packages, displayed in wicker baskets, like you would get in grocery stores. But the people, a long-time local family, were wonderful to chat with, the wine was good, and the cheeses are worth coming back for!
We had a great time, trying the wine, cheese and popsicles. Very cute place and wonderful friendly staff. A great place to visit when you’re in the area.
Super friendly family and they have been producing high quality wine for a long long time!:)
The best wine in Lodi. Have been a customer since 1998, long time and it only got better each year.
Nice setting but charging for a flight of 3 small tastes when buying product is out of step with the other wineries in the area.
We love Spenker Famiky Farm for wine tasting! The wines are so smooth and the goat cheeses available for purchase are delicious. Very simple but relaxing outdoor area and friendly, informative staff. It's my go to winery for a spur of the moment wine tasting afternoon!
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.
My husband and I experienced a moment of clarity and peaceful breath of fresh air in these beautiful vineyards. We are friends to animals so seeing the goats in the barn and farm feel made us seem like we were real deep in the country somewhere enjoying a bottle of Zinfandel.

Love. Love. Loved this.. Found an event where I got to put the babies down for the night.. Okay..I have a goat obsession. However this place is so much more.. It's a full winery and cheese production.. So you can come and do a wine flight and cheese sampling, amongst the majestic goats.. Great family outing in a beautiful setting.

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 did the Goodnight Goats event...you getbto play with baby goats while the mama's are milked...such a fun event! And we had goat milk and a cookie...and a glass of wine!
The baby goat from March - June are the best! The zin is delicious as is most of the cheeses! The family that runs this place are some of the most friendliest people I've come across. A great lil gem and fun for the WHOLE family
LOVE this family farm!!! Partial to the jalapeño goat cheese! Yogurts and of course, the wines are delish as well!
Spenker family farm is an exceptional experience, and the wine and cheese pairing is especially cool since both are produced in house. It carried a relaxing vibe, rustic and vintage decor, and the customer service is second to none. The pairings are executed with immaculate attention and all 3 were a smashing hit IMO. Mabelle, the boss, is the star of the show.
