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.
