Celebrate fall at The Fort Restaurant!

Join The Fort Restaurant with a five-course wine pairing dinner featuring Fess Parker wines and our special host Spencer Shull, grandson of actor and vitner Fess Parker.

Fess Parker was known for his roles as Davey Crocket & Daniel Boon. In 1988 he bought 714 acres of land in what is known as Foxen Cannon Wine Trail in California. In 1991 Fess Parker Wines were exclusively served at Elizabeth Taylor's Wedding.
