Back in 2000, Rodolfo Folino purchased 54 acres in rural Kutztown on Rt. 78 with hopes of developing the land for homes under his construction company Folino & Sons Construction. After 7 years of spending money and time on a project that clearly was not going to happen due to township and environmental regulations, his only hope was to try and resell the land as farm in order to recoup a portion of the money he had spent. One evening, Rodolfo’s son Marco and his wife Andrea were relaxing and reading when they came across a story of a husband and wife who opened their own winery. They talked about what a fun and exciting venture that would be when a light bulb went off in their heads.
In loving memory of Marco’s father, Rodolfo Valentino Folino.

When we opened Folino Estate Winery, our mission was to make great wine; great wine that not only drinks well alone, but also presents a deepened complexity when accompanied with food. When wine and food are paired well together, it creates a memorable experience like none other. Folino Estate wines are meant to enjoy at your table, gathered around good company.
“Questo bicchiere di vino e bianco rosso e fino e viene da lontana via brindisi faccio. A questa nobile compagnia!”
This glass of wine is white, red and fine and it comes from far away. I cheer to this noble company.” – Nonna Folino
