Majestic mountain trails, vineyard saunters, animal encounters, and tranquil picnic grounds—Fair Play wineries have it all. Grab your hiking boots and get ready to make tracks through this unique wine region, connecting with nature’s beauty and bounty in the best way possible…with a glass of wine in hand!
Fair Play’s relaxed atmosphere, warm hospitality and light-hearted sense of fun make family adventuring enjoyable. Many of our wineries offer all-ages games, activities and kid-friendly spaces (under parental supervision). You can soak up some fresh air and sunshine, maybe pack a picnic, befriend a winery dog, and see what other fun you can discover!
Expand your wine knowledge by talking with our winemakers, taking educational tours, and catching “behind the scenes” glimpses into the amazing world of wine. Each of our boutique wineries has a unique story and cast of characters waiting to be discovered. Topics range from classic and cutting edge winemaking techniques, to sustainable practices, and so much more.
Our region is passionate about food and wine, and we love to share our knowledge and culinary creations. Treat your taste buds with an exquisite pairing flight, learn the secrets of what makes a great pairing, or relax on one of our patios with house-prepared tapas and an excellent glass of wine. Add a 360 degree view and the company of good friends, and you’ll have all the ingredients for a perfect day!
