Most of the Fairwinds Winery and its Tasting Room has been very seriously damaged by the recent Napa Valley fires. We hope to get creative and find ways to show you our wines in some other way on the property soon. We are pleased to report our people are all safe. Our hearts go out to friends and neighbors, many of whom have lost their homes and all their belongings.
This may change us, but it will not defeat us. If you would like to experience our wines in the meantime, and support our return, you can order Fairwinds wines online via this website. We will ship them to you. Keep up to date on the latest wine releases, events, and promotions and get 10% off your next order.

Deep full bodied wine with beautiful dark ruby color with hints of sweet blackberry and black currant fruit. Well-integrated tannin and nicely balanced by real finesse and elegance. This deep purple-colored effort offers a terrific, savory bouquet of plums, violets, blueberries, and sappy herbs. It's ripe, medium to full-bodied, has tons of fruit, and a big finish.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Carmenere is scented of crushed blackberries, warm black cherries and red and black plums with an earthy undercurrent of forest floor, tree bark and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has loads of black fruits and earth layers with a firm, chewy frame and great length.

I recently joined a wine club that is a joint venture between Fairwinds Estate and the Carolina Panthers. HORRIBLE customer service. There is supposedly dedicated customer service for the wine club. When I call the number, I am put on hold, a couple minutes later it rings a couple of times, and then the line disconnects.

Fantastic spot! Beautiful property, with great views and caves for group tastings. Service was excellent - Riley was knowledgeable about the wines, and really made the experience feel personal and intimate. Selection was great - really drinkable, and the Cabs especially were delicious. Gorgeous picnic spot to split a bottle and some cheese afterwards. Don't miss!

Hi, we went to the Fairwinds winery to celebrate my birthday. The wine was delicious and the service very good. After the wine tasting, we went to the picnic area to enjoy some wine with cheese, salami, vegetables and fruit. The view from the picnic area is beautiful and very peaceful. I highly recommend you to go to this winery.

Amazing winery!
Went here on a Sunday and the staff are amazing! Rosemary and Dave (might be David) we’re very knowledgeable about the wines and gave us excellent descriptions about the estate and the history of the winery. As for the wines....WOW! Definitely don’t miss out on the Cabs. I will definitely be back with more friends to check out the caves!

Calistoga is at least 30 minutes north of Napa, so have to give yourself enough time to get there. The staff was so nice and knowledgeable. We had a private tasting in the caves and had a great time. Hot outside, but nice and cool in the caves. Wines were all great, so it was hard to choose what to buy, so we bought 6 different wines. We will definitely come back here soon. Great spot !

This was a true highlight for our group of 18 women! We found Fairwinds through our transportation service (Cork Dork Tours- also look them up- they are amazing). This is a newer winery in the best way. We started with white wines in the tasting room. Then we moved down to the caves for the reds- this was very cool. The wines tasted amazing and the setting was very special. Our tasting guide (Terry) was very relaxed, funny and informative. We all loved talking with her. The grounds are stunning. Such a highlight for our group! Thank you Thank you Terry!!

This was by far our favorite part of our visit to the area! We had a group of 14 women. The reservation process was very easy and Terry was so sweet to us. Anne was our server/wine expert, she was absolutely incredible - so sweet and knowledgeable. Great wines. Great experience. We highly recommend.
