About Fairchild Napa Valley
Fairchild Napa Valley takes its name from the English surname Fairchild — historically a descriptive name meaning 'fair child,' from the medieval English tradition of creating surnames from descriptive phrases. The Yountville boutique uses this English-heritage naming as both personal identity and aspirational declaration: the wines are intended to be the fair children of Napa Valley's most exceptional vineyards.
The estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from Yountville and Napa Valley vineyard sources with a winemaking approach that emphasizes elegance and site transparency. The English-heritage naming distinguishes Fairchild from the French and Italian naming conventions that dominate the valley.
The appointment-only Yountville tasting experience is focused and personal, positioned within the culinary town that Fairchild's winemaking philosophy — food-compatible, elegant, restrained — is best suited to represent.
