Gundlach Bundschu, California’s oldest family-owned and operated winery, is celebrating its sesquicentennial throughout 2008 at the winery and across the nation by putting wine on center stage with the creation of Towle’s Hill, an original, one-man play performed by Mark Kenward and directed by David Ford. Towle’s Hill chronicles the history of Gundlach Bundschu, while offering insight into California history from the earthquake to prohibition. The dynamics of family businesses, the complexities of father-son relationships and the desire to create something meaningful from a lifetime of work form the heart of the show. Towle’s Hill will be followed by a tasting of Gundlach Bundschu wines–a multi-sense event!
