Nestled atop the foothills in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands
in Monterey County, California, lies family owned and operated Boekenoogen Vineyards and Winery. Situated in the heart of Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, Boekenoogen Winery is one of only a few wineries that grows, produces and bottles on-site. The combination of superior clones, rocky well- drained soils, meticulous viticulture practices, foggy mornings and sunny afternoons moderated by a cooling maritime breezes, has resulted in superior grapes. With state of the art winery equipment mixed with old world wine making methods, Boekenoogen Wines are proving to be some of the most pristine wines in the country.

With much enthusiasm, we ask you to share in the romance of our signature wines.

Cheers!

The Boekenoogen Family. Garrett, Susan, Holly, Kate and John.

Boekenoogen Vineyard was established in 1997 when John Boekenoogen realized his property's true potential. He took his cattle ranch that has been in the family for five generations and transformed it into a vineyard which produces exceptionally high quality wine grapes. John developed all phases of the vineyard: from ground preparation, rootstock, clone selection, trellising, pruning, and shoot positioning to canopy management, color thinning, and irrigation.

Through all the hard work, expert attention, perfect clones, rocky soils,
and the moderating coastal climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands, Boekenoogen Vineyard has now become one of the finest vineyards in this appellation producing about three tons per acre which helps create high quality fruit.

In 2006, they decided to produce their own wines and constructed a boutique winery on the property using all new European crushing and press equipment, as well as French oak wine barrels for the ageing process of the wine. The are presently producing superior Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah varietals which reflect the characteristics of the Santa Lucia Highlands.

Today, the Boekenoogen family history is reflected in each and every bottle of wine they produce which carries the family crest imprint, dating back to the 1200s. Family means the world to the Boekenoogen's. And, from their family to yours, they hope that you enjoy a taste of their history.
