Open: year-Round
Adam Folts is a fifth generation grape grower, tending vines on the same property his great, great grandfather first cultivated. The Folts Farm grows mostly native grapes and some French-American hybrids.
As one would imagine, Adam spent his life in the vineyard, helping his father on the family farm for about 12 years. He served four years active duty in the Air Force, but in his heart and mind he never really left the farm. It was happenstance, then, that the Air Force sent him to Texas, where he met a couple who owned a small winery. He helped them in the cellar and developed a love for making wine.
Adam had had earned his degree in business management while serving active duty. When he returned he decided that he wanted to help the family farm grow into a successful family winery. More than a business interest, he is passionate about the idea of growing grapes anVVW adam and nikki picd turning them into a product for people to enjoy. He first created his business plan in 2010, and his father Mike and wife Nikki have joined him in this venture to create an estate winery on 50 acres of Folts Farm.
