Fess Parker Winery

A Californian wine estate founded by the actor who played Davy Crockett on the big screen. Fess Parker bought the ranch in 1989, far from Hollywood's neon lights, dreaming of a quiet cattle ranch with winemaking as a small side project. Five hectares of Riesling grew into a full vineyard, now carried forward by his son Eli.

   

About Fess Parker Winery

Fess Parker Winery is an American wine house from Santa Barbara County, founded by actor Fess Parker. For the newcomer, it's a good cool-climate way into Californian Pinot Noir and Syrah. For the collector, the story of the actor who left Hollywood for a quiet life with cattle and wine is part of the appeal - Parker's dream was a family business to pass on, not a commercial venture.

History & Background

Parker, known for his roles as Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, founded the winery after his acting career. Fess Parker bought the ranch in 1989 and, together with his children, planted five hectares of Riesling as an experiment; today the vineyard is carried forward by his son Eli, who has significantly expanded the range.
