Title
Welcome to Charles B Mitchell Vineyards, Wine, Sierra Foothills
Description
Our vineyards and winery are at the heart of the Sierra Foothills, in a premier wine region called Fair Play, named for the local township born in the Gold Rush era. Over 150 years ago, this region was a thriving wine producing area, supplying the Italian segment of the '49er population. Our property has had a fantastic history since that time, first as a promising repository for gold, then as a homestead and orchard by the turn of the century, allowing generations of families the opportunity to live off this abundant land.
In the mid-1960's, UC Davis, recognizing the land's possibilities, developed its own test plot of potential varietals in an effort to revitalize the Fair Play region as a premier grape growing area.
This region is now enjoying a wine renaissance, thanks to the findings of UC Davis in their research, and the efforts of local winemaker pioneers. The Fair Play appellation has just been approved by the U.S. government and is now the newest wine appellation on the American market.
