Spenker Winery

Spenker Family Farm is a Lodi, California-based winery that has been farming for over 120 years. Rooted in tradition, the Spenker family has evolved their operations to prioritize sustainability, with their estate vineyard certified "Certified Green" since 2006 under Lodi's industry-leading sustainability program. The Mokelumne AVA location is ideal for growing Zinfandel grapes, which have been a signature varietal for the winery since its commercial beginnings in 1994. Chuck and Bettyann Spenker pioneered Lodi wine production with their award-winning estate-grown Zinfandels, including the 1995 Spenker Zinfandel that scored a "90" in Wine Spectator magazine. Today, Spenker Family Farm offers premium wines, artisanal cheeses, and farm experiences, with a focus on sustainable farming practices and responsible consumption. Visitors can explore the Lodi Farm Store, which is open Friday to Monday from 12 PM to 4 PM, and enjoy curated wine and cheese pairings while watching the goats or learning about the farm's operations. The winery's philosophy emphasizes slowing down and savoring the moment with good food and company, making it a welcoming destination for families and wine enthusiasts alike.
