The Foley Wine Parlor

Foley Wine Parlor is a family-owned winery located in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara County, California. Founded by Vintner Bill Foley in the late 1990s, the winery is particularly known for its world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines, which are estate-grown on over 500 acres of vineyards. The property, Rancho Santa Rosa, was previously a thoroughbred horse ranch and features steep, south-facing hillsides with limestone soils ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cultivation. Foley Estates also owns Rancho Las Hermanas, another 213-acre vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, which benefits from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and is planted on various marine-origin soil types. The winery's unique micro-farming program involves mapping soils and topography to ensure optimal fruit quality, and its wines are released under the Foley Estates label. Visitors can explore the property, which includes a converted stable-turned-winery, and experience the region's ultra-cool climate, characterized by brisk ocean breezes and maritime fog.
