Fess Parker bought this 714-acre estate in 1988 with the idea of making it a working farm with a small winery, and ultimately an estate he could pass down to future generations.
Fess Parker’s dream was met and while the estate serves many purposes, the winery is the ultimate focus and is now run by his children.
The estate makes high-quality Pinot Noir, sourced from the estate and vineyard partners that focus on natural and sustainable winemaking.
