Three Fat Guys

A boutique winery in Sonoma, California, founded by three former NFL offensive linemen: Tony Moll, Jason Spitz, and Daryn Colledge. Their journey from the football field to the vineyard began in 2006, when they were drafted by the Green Bay Packers and later bonded over a shared passion for fine wine. Following Daryn’s retirement from football, Daryn served in the Idaho Army National Guard, where he piloted a Black Hawk UH 60 Helicopter and went on one tour in Afghanistan.

Client Testimonials

“Very well executed program. The attention to detail was apparent and it was great seeing familiar faces from last year – you have a great team. Loved how the agenda was laid out in a way that allowed each attendee to choose how much they wanted to “engage” with the tournament, while still having access to your amenities at the hotel. The quality of food for all evening events was fantastic. Specific kudos on the plated seven-course wine pairing experience. That is very hard to do well with that size group, the execution was flawless.”

“All we have to say is world class! The transportation and coordination was perfect. Food was good and the added touches were excellent! Everyone is talking about the golf and the overall experience. Additionally, those within my organization who could not make the trip are asking me for your information to plan something with you! Good news!”

“– really great event. Our guests loved it and I thought it was really a first-class experience. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“crushed it.”

“I already gave you and the team raving reviews.”

“Our customers enjoyed themselves and everything was first class. The logistics were seamless.”
