A visit to the winery provides the opportunity to not just taste wines, but experience them. Whether you choose to taste a flight, take a tour, enjoy a picnic in the woods or stroll to the pond in the vineyard, you'll find yourself immersed in a winery visit like no other. Like those that discovered the magic of our beautiful area many years ago, you can discover the gold of your own in a bottle of unforgettable wine and an experience you won't soon forget.
Inspired by the family, friends, and experiences that make us rich, Element 79 Vineyards was born of our love of wine, winemaking, and the opportunity to follow our dreams and immerse ourselves in the winemaker lifestyle. Many years ago, we would come to the Fair Play area to find our perfect Christmas tree. During these excursions, we fell in love with the area and dreamed of one day owning a vineyard in El Dorado County.
