About

Foxen Vineyard & Winery was founded in 1985 by Bill Wathen and Dick Doré, focusing on minimalist winemaking as sustainable wine-growers with a solar-powered winery in Santa Barbara County's Santa Maria Valley. They produce versatile wines highlighting the region's diversity, including high-scoring Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from prestigious vineyards like Bien Nacido. Unique offerings like Carbonic Cabernet Franc from their estate Tinaquaic Vineyard showcase their innovative approach.
