Producer Information: Folie à Deux

Folie à Deux was founded in 1981 in the heart of Sonoma County, California, a region celebrated for its diverse microclimates and exceptional grape-growing conditions. The winery’s name, inspired by a term from French psychiatry meaning “a madness shared by two,” reflects the founders’ shared passion for crafting expressive wines that capture the essence of their origin. Folie à Deux is particularly known for its focus on varietal purity and site-driven character, employing meticulous vineyard selection and minimal intervention winemaking to highlight Sonoma’s unique terroir. Beyond their flagship Zinfandel, they also produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that showcase Alexander Valley’s structure and depth, as well as Chardonnay sourced from cooler Russian River Valley sites to emphasize vibrant acidity and layered fruit. Their commitment to expressing Sonoma County’s distinct sub-appellations has established Folie à Deux as a trusted name among those seeking authentic California wines with a clear sense of place.
