After overseeing the development and expansion of the Fess Parker brand to substantial critical acclaim, Eli Parker conceived Epiphany wines in 1999 with a simple mission: crafting small production wines of the very highest quality possible. Some may deem this kind of endeavor as "artisan" but for Eli it is nothing more complicated than an opportunity to work with the very best vineyards and the most interesting varietal types, putting his best foot forward in doing so.

Epiphany's portfolio of wines reflects Eli's special fondness for Rhône wines, but his Burgundian varietals fare equally as well with the critics. Several outstanding and highly praised Epiphany vintages eventually culminated in Eli Parker being named "Winemaker of the Year — 2006" by the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

More than anything else, Epiphany allows Eli to satisfy his passion for and fascination with winemaking. Epiphany's foundation is built upon the outstanding grapes harvested from the best vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County and beyond. In most cases the Epiphany wines are made with grapes from a single vineyard source in order to accentuate the unique characteristics and terroir of that vineyard. The result is pure and exquisite — a true winemaker's wine"
