E16 Winery was founded by Robert Jones, who bought El Dorado County vineyard property near road E16 as a return to his family’s winegrowing roots, later shaping the program with winemaker Daniel Moore. The winery spans two wine tracks: E16 Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley and Santa Lucia Highlands vineyards, and Firefall wines from the family’s Baby Rattlesnake Estate Vineyard in Fair Play, where Syrah, Grenache Blanc, and other Rhône and Italian varietals come from a mountain site above the Cosumnes River.
In Somerset, the tasting experience unfolds in a hillside setting along a wooded creek, with a footbridge, shaded terrace, front patio, and subterranean cavern. Guests can expect a side-by-side look at two different sourcing stories in one stop, with North Coast Pinot Noir and locally grown Fair Play wines poured in a setting that feels more layered than a standard tasting bar.
