The Fair Play AVA is an American Viticultural Area in El Dorado County, California, USA. It is entirely contained within the boundaries of the El Dorado AVA and the Sierra Foothills AVA. The boundaries of the Fair Play AVA include rolling hills at elevations between 2,000 feet (610 m) and 3,000 feet (914 m) above sea level, making it the California appellation with the highest average elevation. The most popular wine grape variety is Zinfandel, although varieties native to southern France and Italy are gaining in popularity.[2]
