Amidst California’s legendary Gold Rush backdrop, Boeger Winery in Placerville, CA stands as a testament to dreams and destiny. Founded on the historic grounds first claimed by the Fossati-Lombardo family in the 1849 Gold Rush, the winery’s tale is one of grit, transformation, and enchantment. From its origins as a fruit and nut haven to its evolution into a revered winery and distillery, every corner of the estate resonates with history. Treasuring the legacy of ancient Mission grapes and Zinfandel clones, Boeger wines are not just beverages – they’re a sip of history.
A Lifetime of Achievements
Recipient of the California State Fair’s 2018 Wine Lifetime Achievement Award, Boeger Winery knows accolades well. Greg and Sue Boeger, stewards of this enchanting realm, found their way here in 1972, infusing new life into the landscape. Pioneering the revival post-Prohibition, as the first modern-day winery in the El Dorado American Viticultural Area, they embraced lesser-known varietals like Barbera, Carignane, Refosco, Charbono, and Aglianico. Over thirty varietals grace their care, with Barbera shining as a star, earning numerous awards under the Boeger label.
