History and Trivia - Hide Section
  • At this location: Seasons of the Vine was the first use of this space.
  • The Attraction's History: When the park opened in February 2001, so did Seasons of the Vine. The short film was originally sponsored by Robert Mondavi, the Napa Valley wine producer, in a deal that also covered Wine Country Trattoria, the Vineyward Room restaurant and a small patch of grape vines. Almost immediately this section of the park disappointed in terms of getting park guests into the building and restaurants (many never even realized the show was there) and even the grapes didn't take to it and kept dying. By the end of 2001 Mondavi had abandoned its sponsorship. Seasons of the Vine continued with the Mondavi name removed, though it became even more difficult to find it. Eventually, the theater was only opened for a few minutes at the top of each hour to see if anybody was interested (frequently nobody was), or you could ask to see the show.
  • Other Trivia:
    • The show was narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons.
    • The score for the film was written by Bruce Boughton, a 9-time Emmy winner.
