About Boeger Winery
Greg and Sue Boeger founded their El Dorado winery in 1972 on a Gold Rush-era farm outside Placerville, making Boeger the county's modern winegrowing pioneer, the first winery in El Dorado since Prohibition. The property's 1870s cellar building and original homestead still anchor the grounds, and Greg, grandson of a Napa winemaking family, planted a famously broad range of varieties on the hillside estate.
Boeger's Barbera became a signature, joined by Zinfandel, Rhone and Iberian plantings across the estate's elevations. The creek-side picnic grounds and historic buildings make it one of the foothills' most charming stops, half a century in.
El Dorado's post-Prohibition pioneer: the Boegers' 1972 revival on a Gold Rush farm, Barbera-led ever since.
