William P. Foley acquired Firestone Winery and surrounding of land (300 acres under vine) in early August 2007 as part of a plan to expand his portfolio of small specialty wineries on the western coast. Foley owns Foley Winery in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. As part of an evolving brokering of the deal, the Paso Robles facility - initially planned to stay in Firestone hands - was also purchased by Foley.
