Film Director Francis Coppola Opens Native American-Inspired Restaurant

American film director Francis Coppola unveiled his new restaurant, Werowocomoco, located in the Virginia Dare Winery in Geyserville, California. Inspiration for the restaurant came from the winery itself, which was one of the first in the U.S., according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Through Coppola’s research, he discovered that the winery’s named traced back to the first English child born in the New World in a Virginia Colony. Coppola chose the seventeenth century Algonquin settlement in Virginia — Werowocomoco — as the name for his restaurant.
