Love the variety of wines here and the fact that you can also taste Kuleto. We're bringing out of town friends to this winery next month! Great wines at a great price.

Foley Johnson was the first stop of three on a wine tour this last weekend. Tyson was fantastic and the wines are amazing. I happened to mention that we were missing one in our group who had to miss her own birthday celebration because she was ill. Tyson surprised us with a complementary bottle of their delicious rose to take to the birthday girl.

We had a amazing visit! Joe was a great host, this tasting was above and beyond our expectations. Walked away with a case. The Malbec, Pats blend, Sauvignon Blanc and Rosato all amazing. There is something for everyone here! Stop by you weren't regret it.

The winery is average looking, nothing particularly special there. The wines themselves weren't what i was expecting either. Like the location itself, the wines were average. I'm looking for a winery that has unique flavors that stand out- boldness and uniqueness. I've found plenty of wineries down Southern California as such and was expecting Napa to surpass even the best wineries in SoCal. Not even close. I recommend looking into other wineries before settling on FJ. I am giving 3 stars because our Host/Pourer was communicative, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made the experience worthwhile.

My girlfriend Lisa made reservations at this Luxury Cabernet Tasting and I didn't realize I was in for quite a treat :)From start to finish, Lisa and I were pampered with exquisite customer service! We were warmly greeted by Aaron in the reception area, where he poured us a glass of rose to start. He escorted us to our table and from there, the fun began.We'd like to thank Joe A. for a wonderful and educational experience. With each of the pours, we learned about the the region, the grape, the process, and differentiating flavors. Of special note, Joe explained the characteristics as the cabernet flowed across the tongue ;)In addition to the rose, the exquisite Cabernets, and descriptions, Joe also provided a tasting of an estate bottle which was not listed.Before Lisa and I left, Joe said that someone called in a favor. Special shout out to VP Alan C. for the bonus gift before leaving! I love love love the fitted jacket :)Thank you so much for this memorable experience. This sure makes leaving Cali difficult. Not even sure if my next destination has wineries but I will certainly return here for a visit! Thanks for the memories Lisa B., Aaron, Joe A., Alan C., and everyone at Foley!

My second visit to Foley Johnson. To be upfront I am a Foley member at the tasting room in Santa Barbara and love the generous benefits of being a Foley member. Last visit I tasted from the FJ menu. This time from Kuleto. Both amazing wineries and very different. Both visits I walked away with bottles of Cab. This time it was a 2013 that had been lost in storage for a few years. It was reasonable. As Skyler who was serving us said. Just consider it $10 a year for aging it and the wine in the bottle is free. Made sense to me. I never have the patience to cellar a bottle for more than six months. Beautiful property well located just around Oakville.

The service here is great! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, so she deserves 5 stars. Don't let the front look of the building fool you thinking this is a small place because the back patio is huge. Also, the wine is good specially their white wine.

As part of a sweepstakes I won in 2018 put on by the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Foley Johnson Winery, my wife and I were treated to airfare, transportation and lodging and 5 tastings in 3 days at Foley Johnson Winery. and his other properties. We were chauffeured to this winery after having private tastings and tours at the other properties. We sat down with Peter who gave us samples and introduced us to the wine making process. Specifically Foley Johnson as every winery has different processes for growing grapes. His knowledge was amazing! Very good tasting wine comes from these grapes! Definitely stop in for a tasting and Peter will drop a little knowledge on ya!

Open during covid! You can't bring outside food so beware.I loved that we were able to taste Kuleto (which burnt down in the fires unfortunately) and hop one table over to Foley for back to back wine tastings in the same outdoor patio. Super convenient!Wine was 3.5/5. Not the best I've had, especially for the price, but friendly service and ultra dog friendly. I thought it was odd that our lady spilled wine numerous times while pouring wine, and poured every glass differently lol. There was wine on my phone, our table, our menu. On the upside I loved that casual, non pretentious vibe.All in all the Syrah was our favorite. With wine membership and case discount, it was about 20% off or more. Be sure to book your appointment at least 3 days in advance to visit on a sat.
