Does anything sound more enjoyable than tasting locally-made wine and cheese while visiting with an adorable gaggle of goats? We didn’t think so. Lucky for us, you can do just that when you visit Spenker Family Farm in Lodi. This big red barn is not only utterly charming, but it’s also home to some of the finest estate-grown wine and farmstead cheese in Northern California. Make a day of it and visit this local farm for a delicious day of eating and enjoying the farm life!
Wine and cheese is a duo that's hard to beat and you'll enjoy plenty of both when you visit Spenker Family Farm. Producing high quality wines for over 20 years, this charming farm is a must-visit in Lodi Wine Country.
Established in 1994, Spenker Winery makes both amazing wine and cheese right here on the farm. They added the creamery and dairy in 2019, but they've been producing estate-grown wine since 1994. You just can't go wrong with this delicious combination!
Visitors are welcome to stop by this boutique, family-run farm and enjoy a day of sipping on wine, gobbling down farmstead cheese, and visiting with the farm's herd of goats. The farm's tasting room is open Friday through Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reservations are recommended, but not required.
Handcrafted using certified sustainable estate-grown grapes, Spenker's premier selection of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Morning Glory is bound to please any vino enthusiast. Go for a full wine tasting at $10 per person or enjoy a glass or bottle underneath the sycamore trees.
Nothing pairs better with wine than fresh goat milk cheese! Handcrafted in small batches using milk from the farm's herd of dairy goats, these cheeses are the perfect addition to your next snack or picnic. Cheese tastings are just $5 and afterwards you can visit with the adorable goats that make it all possible.
As a visitor at the farm, you'll truly get the whole experience. From how the farm's products are made to purchasing your own wine and cheese in the Farm Store, a visit to Spenker Family Farm is far from your typical winery experience—that's for sure.
Try something different for your next winery visit and stop by Spenker Family Farm. If the goats don't have you coming back again and again, the world-class wine and cheese certainly will. Learn more about visiting at the Spenker Winery website.
