Two of America’s leading family-owned and operated wineries announced that Foley Family Wines (FFW) has reached an agreement to acquire Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery. Ferrari-Carano is best known for producing award-winning luxury wines sourced from some of Sonoma County’s preeminent vineyard locations.
The acquisition includes the Ferrari-Carano Estate Winery in Dry Creek Valley, with its Villa Fiore Tasting Room and three other exclusive tasting areas: the PreVail Mountain Winery on the east side of Alexander Valley as well as 3,183 acres of land across the appellations of Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Carneros Napa Valley, Mendocino Ridge, and Anderson Valley. Also included in the transaction are several residential properties, a large, temperature-controlled warehouse, and the Estate Winery Garden—home to more than 2,000 plant species.
“We are delighted to add Ferrari-Carano to our family,” says FFW Founder and CEO Bill Foley. “Their established reputation for quality wines, their dedication to responsible environmental stewardship, and their commitment to exceptional hospitality are all perfectly aligned with our priorities.”
“I’m happy to see our winery become part of a family-owned and operated company that shares our vision and core values,” said Rhonda Carano, Ferrari-Carano Founder, and CEO. “Foley Family Wines has shown that they value the individual character of each of their estate wineries. We know that the reputation we’ve worked hard to build over the last four decades is in good hands.”
