Red Carpet Premiere—The Road to Ruby

It’s red carpet time along the Wine Road!

Premiere Showing

On September 16, 2016, the Wine Road will premiere its documentary entitled, “The Road to Ruby.” This historic film, directed and produced by filmmaker John Beck, will have three showings at Francis Ford Coppola Winery, located just minutes north of Healdsburg in the gorgeous Alexander Valley. How fitting to premiere this film at a famous movie director’s winery.

This 30-minute documentary was developed in conjunction with the Wine Road’s 40^th Anniversary, and commemorates the people, wineries, vineyards, and history of the Wine Road.

Meet the Founding Members

You can be one of the few people to attend this once in a lifetime premiere movie event. Walk the staircase to the beautifully appointed Coppola Winery, pass through the pool area and step until the red carpet as you reach the West Tower. There you’ll be greeted by five of the founding member wineries—Foppiano, Geyser Peak, Pedroncelli, Simi, and  Trentadue—who will pour their wines for you.
