Exceeding Expectations, One Yard at a Time.
Welcome to Spenker Family Farm Estate, a boutique, family-run farm located in Lodi, California. We are thrilled to share our passion for wine, cheese, and the joy of farm life with you. Our estate is home to Spenker Winery, est. 1994, and a Grade A Goat Dairy, where we produce wines made from our estate-grown, hand-harvested, certified sustainable grapes. We also craft small-batch, fresh cheeses from the milk of our own dairy goats.
Our Story
Our journey began when our founder, Bettyann Spenker, started her family farm over two decades ago. With a passion for sustainable farming practices and a love for good wine and cheese, she created a haven for her family and friends to gather and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Today, we are proud to share our farm with visitors from all over the world.
Wines and Cheese
At Spenker Winery, we take great pride in crafting wine that not only tastes exceptional but also tells a story. Our wines are made from our estate-grown grapes, carefully tended and harvested by hand. From our estate-grown Petite Sirah to our award-winning Zinfandel, every vintage is a labor of love.
Our cheese-making process is just as meticulous, with each batch carefully crafted by our resident cheesemaker, Bettyann Spenker. From our fresh, spreadable Chevre to our aged Tommes and wine-infused cheeses, every item on our menu is a reflection of our commitment to artisanal craftsmanship.

We invite you to visit us at our farm, where you can experience the beauty of the vineyard, taste a selection of our wines, and explore our cheese-making process firsthand.
