A friend and I made a reservation for a "fast six tasting". They had already set up a spot at the bar and had iced waters waiting, which was a nice touch. We didn't really know what to expect, but you essentially choose sixes wines each from their list. Unfortunately, they were out of 2/3rds of red wines. They had 12 wines left, so each of us took six, deciding we would share and try everything they had to offer. We noticed that any of the sweet offerings were from Oliver winery, and they confirmed they don't have sweet wines at Foyt. After trying them all slowly with a charcuterie board and conversation, over a period of 90 minutes, there were only 2 wines that I liked, and only 1 of them that I would ever order a glass of. This experience was fine, and the place is nice, but considering it is a tasting, I expected to learn about the wines. No information was shared with us when we made our selections. Lastly, we noticed there were two other groups at the bar, each of them with a different tasting set ups. They had large glasses in a row with all their options in front of them, but we were given a mini glass that was refilled when we made new decisions. I'm not sure what the difference was. read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Small size charcuterie for 1-3 - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Other sites say a must do when visiting the area. I'm sure it's nice but it is not open to the public.. EVER. We went in while visiting Indy and we were rudely told this is a country club environment only for members. We were not welcome. No apology just told we were not allowed to stay. Not even allowed to look at memorabilia. The open sign was lit up in entrance & unless we missed it did not see a sign on door stating members only. Guess not many members as place was completely empty except person working. read more

Love the vault and all that they offer: the wine, the service, the ambiance, the merch, the mini museum, the entertainment- ALL OF IT!

I came here to support a friend playing piano, and it also turned out to be the first hosted Ladies Night! The third Thursday of each month, they plan to host a Ladies Night with new appetizers and cocktails. They ended up doing a raffle at the end for a gift card for everyone who came out. The ambience here was very cozy and we really enjoyed the piano music and drinking wine with our friends. All of us loved our wine, from flights to glasses. We were also a fan of the peppermint white russian.. you MUST try it after you had your wine fix. The Tour Charcuterie board is $30, was surprised it didn't come with crackers but our table enjoyed. My favorite was the pimento cheese dip which is served with fresh bread and veggies. The bread is crispy, soft in the middle - we also got a separate bread basket which comes with that tasty bread and baguette toast, and three small spreads (honey butter, mustard, beer cheese). The garlic parmesean fries were a hit. Lastly, the BBQ pizza was just okay. There was a backup in the kitchen so it took a little bit longer to get our food, but management acknowledged this and said they are still working out some kinks (not sure if it had to do with the turnout or the new menu). It also took an unusually long time to get our check and to pay, one waitress didn't seem thrilled our party of 6 wasn't on 1 check and never came back. One different employee was walking around with a pad to all tables and checking everyone out, so obviously this took some time. Since we weren't in a rush, we were patient and didn't mind. The manager was walking around and talking to each table, making sure everyone got a raffle which helped with the wait. I look forward to coming back and know they are looking to improve the few things stated above. Thanks for a great Ladies Night! read more

My 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 wonderful time! read more

Lovely, classy spot on the west side Came with a group on a weekday night and it was fairly quiet. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the racing displays are rather interesting. We enjoyed wine and a cheese plate. The cheese plate had a great variety of quality cheeses. The service was friendly and prompt. Definitely recommend coming here for a nicwe happy hour, especially if you have a race fan in your group! read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Inside - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I love this place! We don't go to Indy without making at least one trip to the Foyt Wine Vault. We love the wine, the atmosphere and the general vibe there. This trip we got very lucky and were treated to live music by Rich Confer. It was such a fun time. The Vault always adds to the awesome overall Indy 500 experience. We are already looking forward to race week next year and supporting our fellow Houstonians. read more

What a cool venue! My wife and I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and the place was pretty quiet. We sat in the bar area on the left (there is a larger seating and lounge area to the right). Before eating, I browsed some of the A J Foyt Memorabilia gathered along the walls and an actual race car over in the lounge area. I then tried a flight of the white wine samples: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. You only get a small pour of each, but enough to get a few sips. I really liked the Riesling (my favorite of the three). Our lunch arrived and I got the BBQ Chicken Flatbread while my wife ordered a salad with an upgrade of chicken strips added. The salad was large and only loosely chopped, so she did need to cut it into smaller, more bite sized, pieces. They also brought her a couple types dressing on the side since they didn't have exactly what she wanted. She enjoyed her meal and there was enough for a to go box. My flatbread was about 8" x 12" cut into eighths. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy and the chicken was cubed, still moist, and warm. The flatbread was also topped with sliced red onion and cheese. Very good! I thought the crust had just the right amount of crunch and held its shape despite the toppings. Definitely recommended! Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed our meals and the wine. Be sure to check their hours since they are somewhat restricted. Also, be aware that the space is sometimes reserved for private parties that you may not be aware of until you arrive. (Hopefully they can add a calendar to their website to show blackout dates.) Review #2138 read more

I love the upscale but casual atmosphere at Foyt's Wine Vault with soft lighting, cozy but modern surroundings, nice piped or live music, laid back atmosphere, quiet setting and even romantic, if wanted. There is a nice size bar (serving food) to cozy up to with tables or comfy couches and a private room. Great cocktails, wine list and they offer local craft brews and hard liquor. Terrific wine selection and prices for upcoming gifts. The friendly servers and bartenders are very knowledgeable about their wines so don't hestitate to ask questions. Enjoy a glass of award winning wines from Napa and Sonoma while taking in the historic racing memorabilia or watching a sporting event. Foyt's Wine Vault, opened in 2015, is located on Main Street in historic downtown Speedway with ample street parking and the facility is handicapped accessible. 10 minutes from downtown Indy and just a few blocks from the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). Depending on the night or week, it may be just a few patrons or many. They have several events throughout the various months. Yes, it is a hot spot during race season with A.J.'s name attached but don't let that keep you away. It is also a terrific location for group or private events (max 200 people) and Foyt's can cater or outside catering is allowed! Glasses of wine range from $5-$10 with flights (1 oz. pour) for $10. The menu consists of a limited selection of Appetizers (bacon wrapped jalapenos, hummus, chips and salsa), Salads (house or Caesar), Sandwiches (ham & cheese, Italian or Cuban Sando, or BLT, $11-$13) and Charcuterie ($23.99) and Cheese Boards ($18.99). The Charcuterie board includes three seasonal meats and your choice of three Tulip Tree Creamery cheeses (Haymaids. Trillium, Beer Cheese, Larkspur, Nettle, Snap Dragon or Fromaige Fras). Let's not forget dessert from 'Best Chocolate in Town' truffles (dark, lemon, cappuccino, hazelnut, amaretto for $3.25 each). You can even indulge in Foyt Wines and truffle pairings ($21). Whether you're searching for a fun evening out maybe playing shuffle board, participating in a bridal shower, a rehearsal dinner, a board meeting or hosting a private event for your group, you'll see why this unique wine bar has become a staple for the locals and tourists. read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Had 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 visit to Indy. read more

Terrible service!!!! I went to the Foyt Wine Vault today with some friends. We were prepared to spend a couple hours and several bottles of wine catching up. The bartender was incredibly rude and insulted one of my friends multiple times. We walked out without making a purchase due to the horrible treatment. read more

If you love wine and racing this is your kinda place! Beautifully decorated- some really great historical pictures and memorabilia. Not to mention the wine was very tasty as well! I had the Red wine 3 fling- it was very nice. Would order a full glass of any of them again They also have a nice choice of beers and other alcohol Fast and very friendly server. I loved that you can have a glass of wine and walk around and look at some fun items too read more

This was a great stop on a night before the race. It was a little loud because of the open environment, but that drowns out once you are among good friends and good drink. If your not a wine fan, they have a few bottles of liquor and traditional mixers as well as a few beers and Meade. With AJ Foyt memorabilia all around, this is a must stop. read more

We found this little gem when a friend was visiting Indy for the Monumental marathon. After a celebratory dinner at Rick's we came over to the Foyt Wine Vault in Speedway, IN to share a couple bottles of vino. The ambiance is great, the wine is tasty (try the Meritage), and we were able to sit and chat comfortably. AJ Foyt racing history adorns the walls and there's even an Indy car in the room. The service was nice and we are looking forward to going back to try some of the small eats on their tasting menu. read more

AJ Foyt's family owns wineries in California. This is the family sharing their wine in a neat place. They have racecar memorabilia all over the bar. The wine vault has many seating options. The atomophere is very laid back. I had a glass of Reisling,which tasted great. The wine vault has a good selection of drinks and reasonably priced. The waitress has you pay on a machine that takes cards and can email or text the receipt. AJ Foyt's Wine Vault is a charming place and a great addition to the Speedway area. read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Reisling. - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Such a surprise. Such a hidden gem. Hard to describe how enthused I am that this place is in Indianapolis. The wine is DRY, hallelujah!! Such a difficult thing to come bye in sweet wine country here in Indiana. The wine is not only dry, but it is exquisite. The grapes are sourced from Napa/Sonoma Valley in California, and the wine is great. I honestly feel like I am back in California tasting wine when I am here. To be blunt, this joint would probably make 10x the profit downtown or north side where more dry wine aficionados roam. I plead to more of you out there in Indy that overlook this place bc of location, owned by race car driver, etc. The meritage is my favorite varietal that they make, but their pinot noir, cab, and zin are stellar as well. Only complaint is that the bottles are expensive, but nonetheless, worth trying out! read more

Now - I know speedway might not seem like the most bustling place to hang outside of the Month of May but my how they're building this part of town up, and my how I love it! My office took us on a surprise trip around Indy one day and we stopped at Foyt's Wine Vault. (Disclaimer: I work for a Motorsports agency so we tend to like us some racing!) but regardless of the very evident connection to a sport we are all familiar with - this place was awesome! We got to be there for a quote on quote private event (really they just opened up a bit early for us but I digress....) The ambiance and decorations were just so great here and the TV and shuffle board make it than a normal wine establishment. I got the fight of red and absolutely loved the pivot and the cab. Wasn't wild about the blend - but the other two made up for it. But to the star of the day - the charcuterie! Holy heck was it delicious. Between the pickles, the cranberry sauce and all the delicious cheeses I was in heaven. I cannot wait to return. read more

Came here for wine and dessert April 28th near 6:30 pm during a much-needed outing with dear friends. I LOVE how this street is flourishing. This is one of several new places that have opened since I visited the area last year. The space is beautiful with the racing memorabilia and photos you would expect. The ambiance is suitable for: Girls Night Out, Date Night, taking out of town guests or just about any other reason you can think up. The service was friendly and attentive. After a round of flights, our party of three unexpectedly settled on the same glass of wine: a sparkling rose. Before the night was thru, one of our party had signed up for the quarterly wine program. Those truffles! Our original intention was to enjoy one each. However, we had another friend join us who ordered one of each so we could sample them all. We decided as a group of four that our absolute top pick was the Dark Lemon. Oh my lands. I'm starting to drool just thinking of it. Final Assessment: Nice Ambiance, Attentive Service, Exceptional Wine, Amazing Truffles 5 Stars ALL DAY LONG! read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Outdoor seating with a glass of rose' and the sound of racing! - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If you haven't been to Speedway lately, you need to go. Main Street is changing rapidly (for the better!) and the Vault is another great, unexpectedly classy addition to the area. After unknowingly bumping into AJ on my way in and asking if he'd been here before...(smooth, Whit...Google him before you go, folks :) )...I settled in at one of the high-tops to wait for my friends. Meanwhile AJ brought out the wine list and made a little small talk while I waited. The place was moderately busy for a Thursday night, with around 7-8 separate parties, maybe 20 customers in total, 3 people, including AJ, helping to keep everyone happy. I started with the white wine flight and was pleasantly surprised - $8(?) for what appeared to be about a 2oz pour of sauv blanc, Chardonnay, and Riesling. All very drinkable with the proper varietal characteristics. Finished the evening there with an $11 glass of Viognier which was definitely my favorite. FYI: they can re-cork if you decide to buy a bottle, but for whatever reason, can't finish it. I've never had that problem... All in all, a great place for a girls' night out, date night, place to take your parents, or any wine-loving race fan. You can tell AJ takes a lot of pride in the business and that makes a huge difference in the customer experience (and wine quality!). Excited to drag more of my wine-o friends out to Speedway with me for my return visit soon! read more

Foyt Wine Vault - Clearly thrilled about wine tasting at The Vault. - Wine Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

What a cool, awesome place. Two of the things I love are wine and open wheel racing. And here it's both. Not trying food so I'm only rating on the wine and the place itself. The host Megan is very gracious and friendly. The interior design is beautiful with a actual AJ indycar inside. Very cool. The wines are outstanding. A 3 red flight is $10. A 3 red reserve flight is $20. They also have beers and a few cocktails for you not in the mood for wine!?!?!?!? They also have white wines and a rose that was pretty good. Lots of options by the glass. The most expensive glass of Cab is $21 but most glasses are 8-12. They have Ben open since last May. I should have visited sooner. Went again may 13th, shared the charcuterie plate with a friend, simply awesome, well put together, some thought went into the pairings of the flavors on the plate. The wines were as good as I remembered. The service was not great, but they were really busy after a busy track day. One thing that needs repaired is the check in 10% discount on Yelp that the bartender told me she couldn't accept because there is not a 10% discount button on their computer????? Oh well, growing pains. Still love coming here. read more

I have had a great experience every time I've been to Foyt Wine Vault. The service is exceptional and the wine is great. The servers allow you to try as many wines as you want until you find your favorite. I prefer the Riesling. They have live music and the feel of the whole place is very relaxed and welcoming. Don't skip out on the chocolate truffles! They're delicious! read more

I have lived in Speedway since April and I am cursing myself for not checking this place out already. We tried the baked goat cheese, cheeseboard, wine flight, and truffle flight. The baked goat cheese is absolutely delicious and perfect to pair with your wine flight. The truffle dessert pairing is so unique and is literally the most perfect dessert. The best part about this place is that they serve beer and cocktails so if you are like me and your boyfriend can't stand the sight of one more wine place, then you are in luck because this is most definitely more than just another wine spot. read more

Did not eat or drink here. The staff is awesome though. I bought a nice bottle of bourbon in Kentucky and forgot that I now needed to check my bag flying home. One problem, no wine bottle travel bubble bag (wineskin). Spent all afternoon looking/calling around Indianapolis for and all the liquor/wine stores have no idea what I was asking for. Foyt Wine Vault did not answer the phone but figured I would stop by. My saviors! I told them my dilemma and they gave me Bottle Bubble free. Thanks! read more

This review is for this business as a place to host events. I have not been here just as a customer, and it has been great for all the events I've attended here. We met friends here one evening for a meal served by Rolling in the Dough and enjoyed a good meal in a nice setting. We were here for another group event hosted by friends who are members and again had a great time. The same friends also hosted my baby shower here, with an outside food vendor, and we had a lovely time. There was another shower at the same time, and there was plenty of room for both groups to be comfortable. The most recent event was a fundraiser, and we again had a good time in a great space. Again, I've not been here just for a glass of wine as a customer, but, for an event space, I can totally recommend Foyt Wine Vault as a great option! read more

We have walked by this restaurant several times and finally stopped for a light dinner yesterday. My husband had the meatballs and said they were very good. I had the Italian sub with a tomato salad. The sub was very good, but the tomato salad was great. The tomatoes were ripe and flavorful in a light sauce. I understand that the menu changes and I look forward to trying more dishes there. read more

Fort Wayne vault is a very unique experience. You get great wine along with the taste of racing and the ambience of the building. One of my favorite things to order is the flights of wine because I can get a nice variety and taste of different wines. Would highly recommend going with friends for a glass, or two. read more

Great spot in Speedway. Their red wines were all very drinkable. I found the Meritage to be my favorite, followed by their Cabernet. We also tasted their Rose (made from Pinot Noir grapes) - which they serve on tap. First sip was off, but it got much better after that. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly, but admitted that she wasn't a wine connoisseur. She also didn't know about the Yelp check in deal, but still accommodated the discount for us. White flight of 3 was $8, red flight of 3 was $10, the red reserve (all cab) was $20. Glasses ranged from $5 and up. Most were around $10. We didn't try the cheese plates, but they carry Tulip Tree cheeses which are delicious. The venue is pretty new, about 1 year old. I'd definitely visit again in the summer to take advantage of their outdoor seating. They also had a decent beer list. read more

At this time I've have to say this is the greatest Wine Vault in the world. As I sit here, enjoying the bar, my wine/cheeses and chocolate. My hero walked in the bar. A. J. Foyt shows up on a Thursday night in June. Life doesn't get much better, much cooler than this. read more

This place is amazing! Beautiful interior, great wines and tasty snacks! They serve awesome local goodies like cheese from Tulip Tree and meats from Goose. You can also get gourmet local chocolates!!

I will start by saying I love the layout of this place. They also have a good variety of drinks and food depending on what you are looking for. However, every time I've been here, the service has left a lot to be desired and caused me to leave earlier than I would have. I had a flight of wine and was planning on getting some food and another drink. But after the initial delivery of my flight, no one checked in with me for the next 45 minutes. I had even mentioned I was thinking about food. This is the second time I've had this sort of experience here. Hopefully it improves. read more

Foyt Wine Vault is very different and unique with a modern twist compared to many wineries or wine libraries around Indy. The menu of wine selections, is very well presented and laid out and the wine flights lets you experience each type and class of wine they have to offer so that you can see, smell, taste and enjoy the passion of their hard work. I give this 5 stars because they earned it! Low key, very relaxed and comfortable as well as fun to experience. read more

My boyfriend and I found this place doing a look through of what was in speedway. The people we met are really nice and it's kind of like being in a wine cellar with the decor and lighting. They have quite a few wines that I like and they make a wonderful Sangria. Another cool thing about this place is they have gowlers that you can refill of some of the wines there. We took the sangria home. It has wines by glass and bottle that are various prices. They don't have a lot of food and it's mainly appetizers as cheese plates. They also let us know they rent out various areas of the vault for a variety of events and recommended a wonderful cater. I would recommend it to someone who likes dryer wines then some one who is more of a sweet wine drinker. read more

This is my second review of Foyt Wine Vault. My previous review was 4 stars only because it was my first visit. Now, after several visits, I'm awarding the fifth star. Why? Because FWV started out great and has continued that way. The wine is very good and the service is incredibly excellent. JT is the guy behind the bar and he makes everyone feel like they are visiting with a good friend. If you like wine (they also have a good beer selection) and relaxing in a wonderful atmosphere, this is the place for you. Stop in! You won't be sorry. read more
