Our name might be Foolish, but our wines are far from it! At Foolish we strive to bring fun into every tasting and give the guests something to remember. A boisterous winery where someone who doesn’t know us might come in with low expectations, that's where your personality and the wines change their mind!
Our mentality is more akin to that of a brewery. Instead of making 4-7 wines in large quantities, we run with many more SKU’s in smaller quantities. Think 20-25 wines in 150 cases or less each. For example, if a seasonal keg runs out in our brewery tap rooms, no one is upset when something else delicious is tapped immediately to follow. With small production wines, we get to have more fun in our tap room. The ever evolving portfolio allows guests to return multiple times throughout the year and likely never have the same tasting line up.
