Fess Parker Winery, named after the legendary actor who portrayed Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in the 1950s and 60s, boasts a fascinating history that spans both Hollywood and the wine industry. After achieving fame as a beloved actor, Fess Parker decided to leave the glitz of Hollywood in the early 1970s and delve into the business world. While continuing to work in the film industry, he simultaneously ventured into real estate development. Combining his Texas charm with a keen eye for real estate opportunities, Parker acquired a 714-acre ranch on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail, where he laid the groundwork for his second career in winemaking.

With a strong commitment to sustainability, Fess Parker Winery takes great care in cultivating vineyards that function as dynamic ecosystems requiring constant attention and stewardship. Collaborating with Coastal Vineyard Care, the winemaking team employs best practices in sustainable agriculture, ensuring the conservation of natural resources, gentle land management, and natural pest control. Their dedication extends beyond their own vineyards, as they actively seek out grape suppliers that share their high standards for grape quality and sustainable practices.

Today, Fess Parker Winery stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Fess Parker himself. The winery not only produces some of the highest quality wines from estate-grown grapes but also exemplifies a commitment to preserving the environment and promoting sustainable practices in the wine industry. Drawing on the spirit of those iconic frontiersmen he portrayed on screen, Fess Parker’s legacy lives on in the form of exceptional wines that reflect the harmony between nature and winemaking expertise.
