When we began to develop the idea for this winery, we thought it should be like a resort, basically a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy the best things in life food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming, and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life. Francis Ford Coppola
