Francis Ford Coppola Winery announced today its return as the go-to wine for award season with the renewal of partnerships with the Sundance Institute and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. For the second year in a row, the winery will be the exclusive wine sponsor of the Sundance Film Festival.

The 2018 Sundance Film Festival is in now full swing, and we are so thrilled to be back again as the exclusive wine sponsor. As we look forward to a fun-filled ten days in Park City celebrating film, wine, art and creativity, here’s a look back at last year, our first as a sponsor of the festival.

This month, the 10-day celebrity-studded, independent Sundance Film Festival (Jan 18-28) commences in Park City, Utah. A magical spot for movie fans and adventure lovers alike, below is our essential checklist for this winter cinematic playground featuring Francis Ford Coppola Winery wines.

Ready to shred some snow? Powder season is upon us and there’s no shortage of wintry white slopes for skiing and snowboarding, ice-skating and bobsledding.

Spaaa-hhh. The new year is here and it’s time to wind down. From luxe accommodations to rustic retreats around the country, below are seven spa escapes promising the ultimate in relaxation.  No passport required.

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season full of good company, good food, good wine, and of course, plenty of adventures. To compensate for some of the overindulgence we all engage in over the festivities of the season, I thought I might bring to you today some salads (well, salad-like foods) that incorporate ingredients said to bring luck in the New Year.

With winter’s chilly days ahead—it’s time for skiing, snowboarding and brisk hikes followed by toasty fires (with marshmallows), hearty cuisine and big bathtubs.

There’s no better time of the year to indulge in delicious desserts than the holidays. It’s also the best time of year to experiment with things that seem too tough for just a normal dessert.

Sometimes the holiday season feels overwhelming in the best way possible. Merry and bright and full of parties and presents and families. It also feels like there is always a need to bring something to someone or somewhere

During the holidays, you’re probably making your list and checking it twice. Did you remember to buy something for the kids’ teachers? Check. Great-grandma? Done. How about host or hostess gifts to bring to holiday gatherings? Um…

It’s that time of year again. The most wonderful time of year! And with the most wonderful time of year comes the most wonderful amount of parties, entertaining and noshing.

As many of you know, every Sunday evening, Anthony Bourdain hosts his beloved, globetrotting and food-savvy CNN show, Parts Unknown. In case you missed the final episode of the season, the host visited Southern Italy, what he calls the “Heel of the Boot.”

One of my most favorite holiday foods are latkes. Latkes are potato pancakes that we eat over Hanukkah and go with just about anything else on the dinner table.

With the cooling temperatures and the holidays around the corner, it’s time to think about easy escape plans and preferably at the beach or nestled in the jungle thicket. 

Several years ago, I went out on a “Girl’s Night” with my 93-year-old grandmother, Betty. It was a simple plan. I’d pick her up, take her out for an early dinner, and then we’d catch the 7 p.m. showing of the movie, “Julie & Julia. 

It’s a busy time of year, but you still need fast-paced entertainment -- and quick delicious bites and sips.

Book clubs are a time-honored tradition that always results in fun, fellowship and, hopefully, a great talk about a great book that will stay with all the members for years to come.

I came up with a crazy idea late one night, while working on a secret novel manuscript after all my children were asleep and I was dying for some adult conversation – I should start a book club.

Friendsgiving is one of the best holidays around. Yes, I said Friendsgiving, not Thanksgiving. A day of indulging in your favorite foods and beverages with some of your favorite people.

Thank you for your understanding as we give our employees time to enjoy the season with their loved ones. Cheers and happy holidays! 

Looking for a new addition to your Thanksgiving table? Try this Yam Apple recipe for a flavorful dish perfect for fall.

From California valleys to the blue alpine lakes of Montana, the golden fall foliage of Vermont and the storied rock n’ roll roots of Tennessee, we’re constantly inspired by America’s spectacular landscapes.

Risotto is one of those dishes that takes a little bit of elbow grease but is in fact insanely easy. It’s also a true crowd-pleaser and a guest-impresser!

While the temperature is getting cold outside this time of year, the kitchen should just be heating up. It’s a busy time with Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas hams and all sorts of desserts in-between.

I think that we can all agree that sometimes life gets crazy and even finding the time to put dinner on the table feels overwhelming. You know the feeling - after a long day at work, hours in traffic and a half-hearted attempt at “sweating it out” at the gym, the last thing you want to worry about is figuring out what to eat.
