Have you heard the news? We’re honored to share that Folded Hills has been named the 2026 USA Winery of the Year from USA Wine Ratings!  Ten years ago, we planted vines on a ranch in Santa Ynez Valley with absolutely no idea where it would lead. This month, it took us somewhere we never expected. To everyone who has shared a glass with us along the way...thank you for your support. Everything we do is for our community, and we wouldn’t be here without you. — Kim Busch by @foldedhills

The best seat at Folded Hills isn’t at a table…it’s in the vines. Our new Private Experience is now available to book! The Vineyard Viewing Deck puts you right among the grapevines, with the vineyard, ranch, polo field, and backcountry all in one view. It’s the only spot on the property where you can see it all, and the perfect setting for a fall wine tasting. Reserve your private experience at the link in bio. by @foldedhills

You all helped raise over $2,000 for @communityhealthcenterscc! We’re so grateful for this community and everyone who showed up to connect, catch up and support a great cause. Cheers to you! by @foldedhills

To our Folded Hills Members: There is so much to be grateful for this fall. Gracias Madre, first to our bountiful Mother Nature who makes everything we do possible. To Angela Osborne for making gorgeous wines that honor the land. To our team whose hard work and genuine hospitality make it fun for us to come to work and for you to visit. And most of all, to you… for drinking our wines, visiting the ranch, sharing Folded Hills with friends and continuing to believe in this little family winery of ours.  The recognition and love our wines continued to receive this year have been both humbling and thrilling. All 16 wines reviewed by Wine Enthusiast earned 90+ points with more than half earning 94+ points. And then came the news we never imagined when we started this adventure….USA Wine Ratings named us 2026 USA Winery of the Year.  Cooler weather always makes us want to slow down and gather. Take a breath, connect with friends over a bottle of wine and a simple table. Let’s not make it complicated. Simple. Slower. Analog. Aren’t we all craving more of that?  Cheers!  Kim Busch & The Folded Hills Team by @foldedhills
