点评:Element 79 is one of the best tasting-room experiences in Fair Play. Seated tasting, beautiful patio and vineyard views, and staff who actually walk you through the wines instead of rushing you.
The food was excellent. The pastrami sliders were packed with flavor and perfect with their reds. The burrata peach flatbread was even better than it sounded. Creamy, sweet, and a great match for the whites and rosé. Chef Brian’s seasonal tapas are worth planning around.
Both the whites and reds were outstanding. The sparkling passion fruit and lighter wines had great aroma and freshness; the reds and blends were rich without being heavy. We left with some bottles.
Do the vineyard tour to the top of the mountain if it’s available. You get a ride from the lower vineyard through the forest and past the ponds up to the upper vineyard at about 2,400 feet. The views at the top are worth the time.
Tasting fee is reasonable and waived with a bottle or better yet, become a member and get access to the special events and the vineyard tour. Reserve the tour and weekend tapas if you can. We’ll be back soon!
翻译:Element 79堪称费尔普莱体验最棒的品酒场所之一。这里提供坐式品酒服务,户外露台的景色美不胜收,可以俯瞰葡萄园全景。工作人员也会耐心地为客人讲解各种葡萄酒的特点,而不会催促大家。
食物同样出色。熏牛肉小汉堡风味十足,与红葡萄酒堪称绝配。新鲜水牛芝士搭配桃子的薄饼更是美味至极——口感浓郁香甜,与白葡萄酒及桃红葡萄酒搭配起来也恰到好处。主厨布赖恩精心打造的时令小食也绝对值得专程前来品尝。白葡萄酒和红葡萄酒都非常出色。那些起泡百香果酒以及酒体较轻的葡萄酒香气馥郁且清新宜人;而红葡萄酒及混酿葡萄酒则浓郁醇厚却又不显沉重。我们最后还买了一些酒带回家。
如果可以的话,一定要参加前往山顶的葡萄园游览活动。可以乘车从低处的葡萄园出发,穿过森林、经过池塘,最终抵达海拔约2,400英尺的高处葡萄园。山顶的景色绝对值得一观。
品酒费用合理,只要购买一瓶酒即可免除费用——当然,买得越多越划算啦。成为会员即可参加特别活动并参观葡萄园。如果可以的话,请提前预订参观行程以及周末塔帕斯美食体验。我们很快会回来!
