      We came to Foyt for a conference and they did an amazing job hosting.

      Food and alcohol was tasty and plentiful.

      The wine room is nicely appointed with lots of Indy 500 merch and museum worthy items.

      If you love wine and Indycar, then you will love this place. There's a great selection of wine and other spirits. A small food menu is available too. A great spot for meeting up with friends or for date night.

      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!

      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!

      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.

      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!

      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.)

      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.

      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
