About
Folded Hills is equal parts working ranch and vineyard - shaped by early mornings, long seasons, and a family-run, hands-on way of doing things. We farm with care, make wine with intent, and invite people into the reality of the land behind the label.
PHILANTROPY
Rooted in Giving
Rooted in purpose and driven by heart, the Kim and Andrew Busch Foundation is the philanthropic cornerstone of everything we do. In 2025 alone, the foundation donated over $200,000 and 25,000 pounds of goods to organizations making a real difference. And we're just getting started.
