Emilio Estevez has a unique hobby -- micro-farming. The actor/producer owns an acre of land in Malibu, and every piece of that land is covered in grape vines.
“My grandfather, who was from Galicia, Spain, grew up tending a vineyard and growing potatoes and raising chickens and all of these things that are coming naturally to me now,” Estevez said. “I was drawn to it in an unconscious way.”
Estevez began the farm back in 2005 when he tore up all his grass and planted more than 800 vines. The result has been his very own winery business, Casa Dumetz, which produces about 600 cases a year.
