The Francis Ford Coppola Winery is one of the film-maker’s ventures, a vineyard-cum-amusement park he describes as “a wine wonderland”, located in Geyserville, California.
Francis Ford Coppola has struck a deal to be the official wine sponsor to the Oscars.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Francis Ford Coppola Winery has signed an agreement to supply the Academy Awards for the next three years, as well as the 2017 Sundance film festival.
Fellow film-makers who dabble in wine on the side include Drew Barrymore, Emilio Estevez, John Lasseter, Olivia Newton-John, Jason Priestley, Sam Neill and, until recently, Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie.
