Foley Family Wines, Sonoma announced it has formed a strategic partnership with Langtry Estate & Vineyards to lead sales and marketing for the iconic Guenoc Valley producer.
The Langtry Estate is steward to 23,000 acres within both Lake and Napa Counties. With the establishment of the Guenoc Valley AVA on December 21, 1981, Langtry became the first winery in the nation with its own appellation.
Under the Langtry and Guenoc brands, the winery currently crafts approximately 175,000 cases of wine annually. The winery offers four tiers of wines: Langtry Single Vineyard Wines (limited, estate, single-vineyard, luxury-class), Guenoc Lake County Wines (premium, single-AVA), Guenoc North Coast Victorian Claret (Bordeaux blend) and Guenoc California Selection Wines (value, broad distribution).
