We invite you to visit the FAY Outlook & Visitor Center, an enchanting hospitality space encapsulating the rich history of Stags Leap District and Napa Valley’s ascent to global wine recognition through our historic achievement at the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
Designed by Spanish architect Javier Barba, the FAY Outlook & Visitor Center was built with an immense amount of stone gathered from the property, combined with sapphire glass, to showcase the natural beauty and wonder of the surrounding S.L.V. and FAY estate vineyards and the dramatic Stags Leap Palisades.
Inside the FAY Outlook, two private rooms offer inviting spaces for intimate wine tasting experiences. Each room, respectively named S.L.V. and FAY after the vineyards they overlook, boasts a private patio for taking in the striking vineyard views.
