after spending the previous night up the road at Barkleys, this place was a god send! Comfortable, clean rooms with a great deck overlooking the beautiful foothills and grape vines. The hosts were very nice and the price was very reasonable...$99 per night and included a great breakfast. Highly recommend staying here if you are spending a few days visiting... More

We just made our first trip to the Eldorado/Amador County wine country. We were referred to the Fitzpatrick Winery and Lodge by another bed and breakfast owner on the north side of Placerville (Fitzpatrick's is south of Placerville) as she was not open that night. We arrived in the middle of the evening and were greeted pleasantly by Diana Fitzpatrick,... More

What a great winery and bed and breakfast! We went up on a Sunday, wine tasted with Diana (owner) and had dinner at Bicconato Trattoria. Great meal by Chef Giovanni. Our room at the winery was the Irish Room and it was so cute and cozy. Our breakfast from Diana the next morning was so good, made to order. Plan... More

My new husband and I stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon. This is not the place for a "loud" honeymoon, as lots of the rooms just share a wall, but it was perfect for us, exhausted after months of planning and just wanting to relax, drink some wine, and enjoy the view. The giant picture window and... More

Brian and Diana are fabulous hosts! The log lodge and views are breathtaking; the wines magnificent; and Diana's breakfasts are delicious. Enjoy the peace, serenity, and great company. Fitzpatrick's is a step above the snobbery of the Napa Valley. Warm, welcoming, knowledgable wine makers and hosts. Our trips to Napa will now be replaced with Fair Play and Fitzpatrick's. You...

We are a group of 5 couples who have been going to Fitzpatricks for about three years, and we go there this coming weekend again ... it always feels like going home. It's unpretenscious, yes a little dated in the bathroom department, but authentic. Brian and Diane are wonderful people and so dedicated to their organic wine production and good... More

I planned a trip as a surprise get-a-way for my wife. I chose Fitzpatrick's based on location and the fact that we had never spent any significant time in Fair Play. From the moment we walked in the front door we were greeted by Diana Fitzpatrick like we were long awaited family. Our room was clean and everything we expected.... More

What a beautiful place--great views, awesome food and delicious wines....oh, and the Fitzpatricks are super gracious hosts! Must do--Friday NIght Pizza on the deck with live music--the original Fairplay Friday Night Pizza spot! More

I was planning something special for my husband’s birthday this year. Our main trip was driving up to the Oregon coast, but I decided we needed to make a stopover at our halfway point, which was the Sacramento, California area. I searched online and found the Only Winery and B&B on our route: the Fitzpatrick Winery and Lodge. Upon driving... More
