Why we love popcorn
Each bag is made with love
Each bag is made with love, passion and a desire to create the finest and most flavorful popcorn in the world.
It all started one night, drinking a glass of really good wine. A few friends turn to me and said, “Jason, can you make some popcorn that will go well with this bottle of wine?” Yep… it’s that simple. From that moment on we were pairing wine with popcorn and the world would never be the same again. There is honestly nothing better than really good “adult” popcorn to pair with your favorite bottle of wine.
Popcorn for adults
A glass of wine… a bowl of popcorn… a good movie.
For years Jason & Sofia would gather together with their friends and next-door neighbors, Mark & Christen Barley, for “wine night” at their home. After a few bottles, it was time for a light snack. Everyone would look to Jason to do his magic. So… off to the kitchen he would go to air pop a delightful treat. Jason would mix spices, herbs, olive oils and much more to create a delightful “adult” popcorn for him and his friends. The spices were always unique and the oils were always fresh and flavored.
As time went on it was clear that the McClain family had three passions. Wine, Olive Oil and Popcorn.
In 2016, the McClain family opened McClain Cellars, a boutique winery with wines from their favorite region in the Central Coast of California, Santa Ynez. In 2018, as they were opening their tasting room in Laguna Beach, they decided to package their own olive oils and McClain Popcorn Company came to life. It was the perfect pairing to go with their wines.
