Sentivo Vineyards & Winery

Winery Overview
Sentivo Vineyards is a family-owned winery in Fair Play, acquired by the Pierson family in 2022 with an emphasis on family, tradition, and connection. Its El Dorado County tasting room sits in Shingle Springs, but the wine program extends beyond one site, drawing from vineyard sources in El Dorado, Perry Creek, Sonoma, and Suisun Valley. That multi-region approach gives Sentivo a broader stylistic range than many wineries centered entirely on a single estate.
At the new Shingle Springs tasting room, the experience is shaped by sweeping vineyard views, mountain air, and a relaxed countryside setting in the Sierra Foothills. Tastings are offered Friday through Sunday, with reservations recommended and walk-ins accepted as space allows, making it a comfortable stop for a slower, scenic visit.
Before You Go
At Sentivo’s Shingle Springs location, you’re tasting in the Sierra Foothills, but the wines may reflect more than just one local vineyard source. The lineup can span several California regions, so it helps to come in expecting a broader range rather than a strictly estate-only Fair Play tasting.
As you taste, pay attention to where the fruit comes from and how the wines shift from bottle to bottle. The setting itself is quiet and scenic, so it works well as a place to slow down and compare styles without rushing through the lineup.
