Valentine’s Day with Fess Parker Wines
6:00 | Wine Reception with Passed Hors D’ Oeuvres
6:30 | 5-course Dinner Paired with Selected Wines
Fess Parker, the Texas-born actor, who played the television roles of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s and 1960s, moved his family to California and started his own winery in 1989. With a goal of creating a family business to pass on to future generations, Parker’s family continues to be involved and has now sharpened its focus to produce more small-lot, vineyard-designated wines made from high-quality Rhone and Burgundian varietals, which have won awards in national wine competitions.
Enjoy a wine reception with passed hors d’ oeuvres and a 5-course dinner paired expertly with Fess Parker wine as selected by Executive Chef John Schnupp.
