DCA Vineyard Room closing

Disneyland to close another food joint Orange County Register A week after disclosing plans to shutter three McDonald’s in its two Anaheim theme parks, Disneyland has now said it will close a fine dining eatery at California Adventure. The upscale The Vineyard Room at the Golden Vine Winery — which was once sponsored by Robert Mondavi — will close Aug. 31, Disneyland spokeswoman Betsy Sanchez told The Register in an email statement. Sanchez would not disclose what would replace the high-end restaurant, where a meal can run tourists about $30 per person. “In the short term, the area will be used as additional seating for the popular Wine Country Trattoria. Long-term plans are still being considered,” she said. by Nancy Luna complete article

stinks! I had an anniversary reservation there on Sept 12th I've never been but it looked really nice and I read good reviews on the food. Sigh...oh well. yet another Disney thing I didn't get to experience before it went away.

Sorta ironic, eh? Cause the Seasons of the Vine theater closed as well

So does that mean those vineyards by the restraunt are going to be taken away or something? I loved just seeing how they showed part of northern california's agriculture. I really hope they keep all that stuff and don't completely take away the things that make california, California!

Such cruelty this world unleashed...

Hmmmm. Never been there, at least I won't know what I'll be missing. I would assume with all of the soon coming changes to DCA, a lot of stuff will be going away (or changing anyway.)

I read somewhere that it would be converted to showcase the new attractions coming soon to DCA. I also read somewhere else that it would be relocating.

Interesting, I heard the same thing

I wonder if the author of the article had ever eaten at this fine restaurant. From the sound of it, probably not.

I had heard this might happen. I'm truly sad.

The Vineyard Room was one of the reasons I would take a party over to DCA. It always had an exciting menu, great service, and made for a wonderful (if sometimes breezy) evening meal. Like The Blue Bayou at DL, it was a special event in itself. I even had just begun favoring VR over BB! The Trattoria isn't enough of a draw to drag me away from DL for a meal but we might still stop by if we're in the area. Maybe they'll find a place for another restaurant like VR with the $1B+ cash infusion for DCA retheming/expansion.

Help me out, here. I once ate at the little restaurant under the big restaurant. Was the little one the trattoria?

There are a number of places in DCA that I speculate would "leave" in an upgrade including the adventure walk area in the Redwood section and the winery section. I even think they have taken up a lot of space with the "ocean" in the Paradise Pier area. I would be sorry to see them all go, but not surprised. Gotta get another thrill ride in there somewhere if the place is going to pay for itself.
