My wife and I have been long time wine club members so long that we have gotten to know all of the many mgrs ( and there have been a lot of them over a very short amount of time) the grad operation have become shorter and unpredictable and quite frankly we have wonder why or how It has stayed open for the past 4 years???? But we remained as wine club members because Foyt liters the best wine and we just love it! Recently came in to pick up our quartile bottles and where told we had already picked them up? This was impossible simply because the time when we were coming by they literally didn’t have any of the wines that we like? Not even for sale by the glass……. We told the lady that was there taking care of things ( whom we had never seen) and we where blown off for better yet made to feel we where trying to get over on them???? We were so offended!!!!! After tickets the winery all these years through what has obviously been hard times for them to be treelike that was the last straw!!! We went in last week to get our wine for this quarter and just call it quits and get rid of our mentor all these years and we were met with the new mgr Jenn. She was so pricey and classy and took the time to verities we were long time members !!!! She did what shocked us and provided us with most of the bottles that we were supposed to have two quarters ago and our new order!!!!! She had no idea we would be canceling our membership and that’s what made us stay and keep our membership!!!! She was a very refreshing thing to see !!!! A mgr first of all and one that looked to take care of what one would think is their most critical people the wine club members!!!!! Foyt has the best wine anywhere!!!!! I’m convinced the two who run the operation could care less about it doing good business since they don’t have any skin in it and it shows! They have the best wine that’s made by the Indy 500 greatest champion ( their) grandfather and it feels like this place is barely an afterthought for them. They never have a presence there and clearly don’t need it to be successful. But at least I can say that they found a great hire to steer the ship for them as Jenn was amazing as she manages , served and handled everything by herself on a Saturday with grace...
Read moreHad a fun experience at the opening of the Foyt Wine Vault during Indy 500 race week. The public was invited to participate in the ribbon cutting, which was done by AJ Foyt.
The family is really investing a lot in Speedway, which makes me so happy, as a home grown Hoosier from Indianapolis, and big race fan.
I'm familiar with Foyt Family Wines due to my work in the industry in Sonoma Valley. I was excited to hear that the Vault was opening during my recent visit to Indy.
The facility is beautiful. I didn't know what to expect, and I was taken aback by the hardwood, amazing race memorabilia and genuineness of the family and staff. Don't be surprised if you run into co-owners and former racecar drivers Larry or Anthony Foyt! They're happy to sign bottles, too.
I enjoyed their Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, but I'm bias being from Sonoma Valley. If you aren't into wine, you can enjoy a local beer on tap or in bottle. They also offer locally made cheese, charcuterie, and chocolate, the latter from the Best Chocolate In Town (and it is!).
They are also open late, giving it a lounge feel.
Can't wait to visit the Foyt Wine Vault upon my next...
Read moreMy daughter had her wedding reception at Foyt Wine Vault in Speedway on 9/30/23. We were there on its opening night back in May 2016 and being the race fans that we are, it was a no-brainer to rent this cozy and charming place. The space was perfect and Katherine (Katie) was THE BEST! From the initial planning to the final weekend she was always available to us. After several meetings and many text messages, she helped us pull off a very memorable event. She handled all the catered food from selection to presentation. When it came to our decorating ideas she was so accommodating and helpful. If you need a rental space for your special event you should consider renting the Foyt Wine Vault. Katie will make sure you have a...
