Robert Foley Vineyards

robert-foleyRobert Foley began his wine making career in the Napa Valley in 1977, working at a number of highly regarded Napa Valley wineries. During this period he also created the highly acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, School House, and Engel Family wines.

Situated on the summit ridge of Napa County’s Howell Mountain, Robert Foley Vineyards specializes in dark expressive red wines. Husband and wife team, Bob Foley and Kelly Kehoe have been producing highly acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon which is labeled Claret for 10 years. Their family of wines has grown to include rich and lively Charbono, Merlot, Petite Sirah and on the lighter side, an oak-free Pinot Blanc focused on the fruit of this charming variety. Their Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain,  is now being produced in very small quantities, aging gracefully in their mountain top cave.

When Bob’s not making wine he spends quality time with his wife Kelly and children Trini and Jack and new baby grandaughter Hayden. You can also find Bob at jammin’ at venues across the county with his rock and roll group, The Robert Foley Band.
