HEALDSBURG, Calif., June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Foley is pleased to announce the opening of the new Foley Food and Wine Society Cave at Roth Estate, located at 10309 Chalk Hill Road in Healdsburg. "At over 8,500 square feet, this cave will be one of the highlights of Sonoma County wine country. We are so excited to be able to offer this incredible experience to our guests who visit us on Chalk Hill Rd." Bill Foley, Founder of Foley Family Wines, said. Features include two wine cellars within the cave, beautiful French designed and handcrafted doors leading to the cellars, and an incredibly intricate ceiling finished with nearly 30,000 bricks. The back wall is open to showcase soil including volcanic tuff and ash. The tasting bar is modern with a unique black leathered granite top. The striking chandeliers were designed and made by Moooi to be "plant inspired" and represent the expanding, transforming and growing of new leaves.
