    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Place was alright. I liked 50% of the wine and cheese was all good. However, what I love about wineries is talking to the hosts about the wine and being educated on their specific wines/cheeses. This doesn’t happen here. Honestly, costumer service was very lacking. When we walked in we were greeted by a blank stare from the lady, so we asked what they had to offer and she just gave a short reply and nothing else. Took our payment and never spoke to us again. It was an awkward interaction and uncomfortable atmosphere. I was hoping for so much more.

    Spenker is one of my favorite wineries to go to. Though I'm not one for wine I adore their goats and all of the dairy goat based products they have from the cheese to the milk to the yogurt. And a fun combination to try is their farm grown wines with their farm harvested cheese!

    The baby goats from March - June are the best! The zin is delicious as are most of the cheeses! The family that runs this place are some of the most friendliest people I've come across. A great Lodi gem and fun for the WHOLE family
