WINE TASTING AT OUR ESTATE

Established by the late Fess Parker in 1989, the multigenerational family owned and operated Fess Parker Winery has built a reputation for crafting exceptional Rhône and Burgundian wines from Santa Barbara County. Since the opening of its expansive tasting room and winery along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in the 1990s, Fess Parker Winery has remained a top destination in the Santa Ynez Valley. Now three generations in, the Fess Parker Family is proud to carry on Fess’s legacy of wine heritage and hospitality by welcoming guests to wine taste at the estate.

My little slice of Heaven

“
I have been a club member since 2013. Fess Parker is by far my most favorite winery. Each time we go up to Los Olivos we have to make Fess our first taste! The winery itself is so beautiful and peaceful. The Pinots… i love. We just had a bottle of 2019 Pommard Clone that came in my shipment and will have to buy another bottle! ...

Can't miss this stop in SYV! The grounds are GORGEOUS, spacious, modern and inviting. The tasting room is bright and airy and the wines are great. We did a private tasting which I highly recommend and the whole experience was just great!....
