The story of Good Pain Wines is more than just a narrative. It's a reflection of founder Faith Parsons’ journey through her career, and the philosophy that drives everything the winery will become. The name represents the powerful concept that many of life’s most cherished rewards can stem from our most painful experiences, physically and emotionally.

Faith’s path in the wine industry has been marked by sacrifice- relocating to unfamiliar places, carving space in a male dominated industry, seasons spent away from loved ones- all in pursuit of her craft. Through these hardships, Faith has come to see that pain can lead to profound transformation in the most obvious and tangible form of a bottle of wine.

“Good Pain” represents the rewards that can come from our hardships, both in life and winemaking. The grapevine endures the shifting seasons to produce exceptional fruit, that fruit passes many hands to transform it into a beautiful juice. The juice embraces the nature of fermentation to take its final form in bottle, where it will still evolve for many years to come. Individuals too must face the challenges that come with the changing seasons, and making decisions in their lives that force them to evolve into a more mature & expressive self.

This philosophy connects the struggles of winemaking with the universal human experience. Faith’s dream is that when you open a bottle of her wine, you are able to reflect on this ethos. May you not only think of the arduous journey the wine has endured to be there with you, but also your own life’s pains that led you to that good moment.

Cheers!
