El Dorado County wine featured in motion picture
Miraflores Winery of El Dorado County has a cameo appearance in the movie “Last Weekend”, which was filmed at Lake Tahoe.
The wines got their debut during a lavish end-of-summer party scene at an estate on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Bottles of Miraflores wines can be seen on the dinner table near actor Joseph Cross.
El Dorado County Lake Tahoe film commissioner Kathleen Dodge supplied the film crew with several local products.
“Product placement opportunities are exciting, but there’s no guarantee that any of the products will appear in the final cut,” Dodge said in a statement. “Wine shows off one the region’s best offerings — whether it’s used on set or enjoyed by the crew.”
Matricia Haigood, general manager for the winery, has offered to pour Miraflores during the opening reception in San Francisco in September.
