Foley Family Wines

Foley Family Wines is a collection of estate wineries rooted in Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Santa Barbara, among other regions including Oregon and Washington. Across these and other regions, the group farms its own vineyards and produces varieties such as Sonoma Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Each winery maintains a distinct style and identity, reflecting its site and local traditions. An integrated model—spanning vineyard work, winemaking, and the tasting room—keeps the process connected from start to finish. That end-to-end control helps the wineries express regional character while meeting consistent production standards.

Together, the estates show how key growing areas differ, offering clear expressions of place across their portfolio.

Foley Family Wines has gained popularity by building on the legacy of established wineries and cultivating a community of loyal followers.
