Executive Leadership

The History Behind Foley Family Wines & Spirits

In the spring of 1996, Bill and Carol Foley purchased 1,000 acres of lush and fertile earth within the then relatively unknown Sta. Rita Hills region of Santa Barbara County. Their plan was to produce hand-crafted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that reflected the best of California’s Central Coast. Named for their two daughters, Lindsey and Courtney, Lincourt Vineyards was born, marking the beginning of Foley Family Wines & Spirits.
