About Fitzpatrick Winery & Lodge

Fitzpatrick Winery & Lodge is the most comprehensively Irish-heritage-personality-celebrating and certified-organic Sierra Foothills wine estate and mountain lodge destination. Brian Fitzpatrick — whose Irish-American heritage and personal conviction that the El Dorado County Sierra Foothills mountain terrain deserved the most genuinely organic farming attention available in any California mountain wine growing environment — established the Fair Play Road property in 1980 as the most personally Irish-organic-highland-personality-celebrating and mountain-lodge-overnight-hospitality-complete Sierra Foothills wine appointment.

The Fair Play Road El Dorado County estate — at 2,800 feet of elevation on the Sierra Foothills western slope where volcanic and granite soils, significant diurnal temperature swings, and the most mountain-specifically-individual growing conditions available in the Sierra Foothills create Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon of concentrated, mineral-mountain character — is certified organic across all estate vineyard acres.

The Fitzpatrick Lodge bed and breakfast — providing mountain-lodge overnight accommodations that make every Fitzpatrick visit a genuinely destination-mountain-lodge and overnight-hospitality-complete wine estate experience — creates the most personally Irish-heritage-personality-celebrating and certified-organic-mountain-lodge-overnight Sierra Foothills wine appointment available in the El Dorado County Fair Play wine district.
