“No other employees were in close contact with this person, as defined under Napa County health directives. Out of an abundance of caution the site was closed and underwent a deep sanitization,” Foley Johnson officials said in a statement.
Company spokesman Gerard Thoukis declined to reveal further information, such as when the worker tested positive, how many employees work at the winery and the occupation of the infected employee.
The Rutherford winery will remain closed either until other employees at the site get results of COVID-19 tests or until the 14-day quarantine period for the virus ends, the company said.
Foley also owns Chalk Hill Estate Winery, Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery and recently bought Ferrari-Carano Vineyards & Winery, all of Sonoma County.
