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. Fridays through Sundays guests are welcome to enjoy a tasting, glass or bottle of wine, and cheeses outside under our lovely sycamore trees. Just as we strive to provide the happiest and safest place for our animals and family to live and work, we also want to keep our customers and their families safe when they come to visit.

Services
All our wines are made from our Estate Vineyard. We remain a boutique winery to keep it fun and family run! We love getting to know our customers, introducing them to our wines, and showing and telling them about the vineyard. Many of our best friends we met through winemaking and in the tasting room!
We use our own grapes to make our wines, and likewise we use milk from our own goats to make our tasty cheese. Please note: Wines can only be shipped within California at this time. Cheeses can be shipped! After placing your order, we will contact you with an estimated cost of shipping and arrange a ship date to insure the most accurate rate and that you will be available to receive them.
We specialize in fresh goat milk cheese. All are hand-crafted in small batches by resident cheesemaker (and winemaker) Bettyann Spenker with milk from our own herd of dairy goats. To give our cheeses the best flavor we take special care from start to finish. The goats are fed the best so the milk comes out sweet and creamy.
Members receive a rotating selection of products from our creamery (CHEESE!) each month for 3 months. Shipments are made the 3rd weekend of each month. Payment for all 3 shipments is made at sign-up. Other farm goodies such as eggs, veggies, and honey will also be available for add-on each month. Membership does not automatically renew (but we hope you do!).
All the puppies participating are from PALS Haven Animal Rescue in Lodi and searching for good homes! Spenker Family Farm and PALS Haven invite you to renew your inner spirit and help dogs and cats in need by joining us for Puppy Yoga! Enjoy a 40 minute yoga class taught by Now & Zen Studios instructor Monica Martinez as puppies play and romp around you.

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.

I'd been meaning to get over there after hearing about how good their goat cheese is and finally made it today. They do a tasting pairing wine and cheese and that was a lot of fun. I actually liked all 3 wines in the tasting as well as the goat cheeses. I rarely like more then 1 wine being offered so that was unusual. And the cheeses were wonderful. I had to give up cow's milk 4 years ago so goat and sheep's mild cheese is it for me. I bought a Camembert-like cheese as well as another soft cheese and a bottle of Zinfandel. They actually make ricotta cheese! I've been whining

This place is sooo cute! It's a fam business and one of the daughters with the pretty red hair attended us. She was so friendly and her overall personality was awesome and made our experience enjoyable.
We did the wine & goat cheese pairing. phenomenal idea. We ended up buying a couple of the cheeses and some of their goat milk popsicles! don't knock it till you try it.
The grounds are relaxing. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The goats are right there, so be prepared for the smell of farm.
I would happily come back here!

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

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.

Love their goat cheese! Love the goats. Wine is quite good. A couple of complaints....wine is too high in price for the area. Should be about $10 cheaper per bottle. Couldn't bring myself to pay $35 for a bottle when other places are $23-28 for similar bottles. Also, need more outside tables and chairs for seating. Venue needs a bit of help.

We visited Spenker for the first time this Labor Day weekend! We had a reservation for tasting and were greeted warmly by a masked employee. We seated ourselves outside and had all of the delicious wines and cheeses brought to us table side for the duration of our visit. The atmosphere was lovely, and everything we ate was delicious, especially the Blackberry Frozen yogurt! We will definitely be returning as their Herbs de Province chèvre and jalapeño queso fresco are absolutely addicting!

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

Goat lovers be warned: you can't actually interact with the goats if you're not there during goat yoga classes in the spring. Nonetheless, it's a clean and friendly place with excellent wine and exceptional cheeses made on the premises. We walked away with both wine and cheese, and with cute pictures of goats, as well as with every intention of returning in the spring.

Sure the goats are cute, but their wines are excellent! While we tend to prefer full bodied, jammy reds, this family produces more of a lighter (European?) style Zin and Petite Syrah, still with a lovely flavor and peppery notes. The wines are great on their own and also pair well with tri-tip and Italian food. So, we were forced to join another wine club.

I attended a goat yoga class with a girlfriend of mine and we had the best time. The class was held under a tree in a grassy area. It definitely wasn't a traditional yoga class with all the laughter but it was a blast. We skipped the wine tasting afterward because I had to go to work but I hear they offer goat cheese with their wine selections... seemed pretty cool.

Brought my wife and youngest daughter here for a goat yoga class (believe it's their second year doing it). After the class they did a wine tasting for the class attendees (I was the lone male spectator the we're kind and included me in the tasting).
They brought out a sample of the goat cheese that they will be producing before too long. If they make it just like this sample this place is going to be a hit!! Smooth, silky and sooo flavorful!!
They'll be adding a wine and (goat) cheese club - sign me up!!

We stopped by this winery during the Wine & Chocolate Festival, Feb. 13-14, 2016.
It's a small, family-owned winery, and the first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was. In addition, they had the cutest little winery dog, just cruisin' in a chair. (Bonus points from me when wineries have cool dogs)!
They were only pouring 3 wines during this event, and since we do t drink white wines, we tried the 2 reds that we have. Both were very good. I especially liked the Petite Syrah.
Their wines are very reasonably priced - the reds were $25-26 per bottle. We didn't

I found Spenker Winery somewhat by accident on a recent trip to Lodi. They are located on the Southwest side of Lodi which is often overlooked by most visitors. Spenker is very small with only a tiny tasting bar in the corner of the warehouse, but this is a great opportunity to experience the smaller, more intimate side of the Lodi wine scene.
They focus on zinfandel and petite sirah and both were very good with a great taste of the local estate grapes. It is fun to taste how small changes in soil and climate can affect the same grape. The winery is also cute at the end of a shaded lane with a
