Le Cellier Steakhouse at Epcot will soon be serving wines from all eight of the “Disney Family of Wines” and be the only restaurant at Walt Disney World to do so. Rick DeCicco, area manager of the restaurant, said they currently have six of the wines, but are waiting on Skywalker Vineyards and Gogi, which are on the way.
The wineries all display qualities “long identified with Walt Disney and The Walt Disney Company, carrying on the Disney legacy and typifying the passion, innovation and quality that the name Disney symbolizes.” These qualities include “an artistic talent, a sense of what makes for good storytelling, quintessential family DNA.”
The Disney Family of Wines are:
- Fess Parker Winery
- MacMurray Ranch
- Silverado Vineyards
- Lasseter Family Winery
- Gogi (owned by actor Kurt Russell)
- Frank Family Vineyards
- Chappellet Winery
- Skywalker Vineyards
Le Cellier has debuted a beverage book all about the Disney Family of Wines. Their staff has gone through extensive training to learn all about the offerings; all the leaders have even completed the first course of the Court of Master Sommeliers.
DeCicco says, “This has a great impact on our guests since they love a great Disney story.”
