We are excited to welcome Kim and Andy Busch, owners of Folded Hills.
About Folded Hills,
We believe in quality.
That is why everything on our land…our food, crops and vineyards, is farmed organically. We simply wouldn’t do it any other way. Because we are a small, family-owned winery, we never have to cut corners. This is one of the reasons we are so proud of our wines. After walking these hills, studying their soil and our microclimate, grower Ruben and our team planted Grenache, Syrah, and a collection of Rhône whites. Studying the vines, winemaker Michael guides Ruben on the optimum times to pick, and makes our wine in an honest and time honored way. It’s all part of our promise to consciously handcraft small batch artisanal wines using very little intervention. In addition, we follow the biodynamic calendar from the vineyard to the glass. Our grapes grow alongside 18 acres of organic row crops, fruit orchards and a menagerie of animals. We are truly an old-world sustainable farm and working ranch. When you open a bottle of Folded Hills wine, we hope you will taste the history, the legacy and the family that went into each bottle. We know you will truly taste the sun, the fog, and the ocean breezes that waft over these folded hills.
We are proud of our family and our team who got us here.
Join us for a great evening featuring wines from Scheid Vineyards!
Al Scheid first purchased property in Monterey County in 1972, a 10-acre parcel located on the edge of the town of Greenfield. Monterey wine grape growing was in its infancy and Al was drawn to the region for its untapped potential. He consulted with Professor A.J. Winkler, a viticultural authority at the University of California at Davis, who had published a report in 1960 classifying grape growing regions by climate. Monterey County was classified as Regions I and II, comparable to Napa, Sonoma, Burgundy and Bordeaux, making it one of the most climatically suitable regions in the state for growing high quality wine grapes.
Join us for an evening with Bernard La Borie, President of Darioush.
Inspired by his heritage and fueled by his entrepreneurial spirit, Darioush set out to California, where he and his wife Shahpar realized their dream of opening a boutique winery. The Khaledis ventured into the unexplored territory of the southern Napa Valley, selecting sites that span three distinct AVAs—high atop Mount Veeder, nestled in a pocket of Oak Knoll, and down in the maritime-influenced floor of the valley. In the years since, Darioush’s continued investment has empowered the craftsmanship of intriguing wines that delight guests known and new—a commitment that still guides us today.
