A Legacy of Excellence
Established in 2015, Element 79 Vineyards carries with it a rich legacy of wine knowledge and experience that spans decades. The wines have been available online and through Club 79 since 2017, but the physical tasting room opened its doors on February 1st, 2018. The establishment is owned by Les and Sharon H., individuals with a passion for wine and a shared desire to provide an elevated tasting experience.
Inspiration from Family and Heritage
Element 79 Vineyards draws inspiration from the family, friends, and experiences that enrich life. Born out of a love for wine and winemaking, this establishment is the realization of a dream to immerse in the winemaker lifestyle. The area’s significance to the California Gold Rush is honored, with the choice of “Gold,” the 79th element on the periodic table, as the name. More than just a symbol, the name represents not only the gold in the vine and bottle but also the partnership between Les and Sharon H., which began in 1979.
Sustainability and Terroir
The commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of Element 79 Vineyards. The combination of cool Sierra Nevada breezes and high elevation creates ideal conditions for growing exceptional grapes. As an estate winery, all the grapes used are grown within the vineyard, ensuring full control over vineyard practices and environmentally friendly methods. The connection to the land and its elements resonates deeply in every bottle of Element 79 wine.
A Culinary Journey
Element 79 Vineyards takes the wine experience beyond the glass and onto the plate. Estate Chef Brian Overhauser’s philosophy is to reflect the Fairplay AVA’s wine-growing diversity on each plate. Local ingredients, foraged from the surrounding land, are skillfully incorporated into every dish. From grape leaves to locally sourced truffles and fresh sturgeon, each element tells the story of Gold Country, creating a symphony of flavors that harmonize with the wines.
