About Boekenoogen Vineyard & Winery
Boekenoogen Vineyard & Winery carries the Dutch-heritage family surname of the Boekenoogen family — their distinctively Dutch name on a Carmel Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah program established in 2002. The Dutch surname's unusual spelling (with its double-o and terminal -gen) immediately identifies both the family's Northern European heritage and their personal accountability to the wines produced under their name.
The Carmel Valley Road estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, and Rosé from estate and Carmel Valley purchased vineyard sources where the Santa Lucia Range's elevation moderates the Pacific Ocean's marine influence, creating conditions for Cabernet of unusual structure and longevity for a coastal California growing region.
The daily walk-in format, dog-friendly grounds, and Carmel Valley Road location make Boekenoogen one of the accessible tasting room stops along the Carmel Valley wine trail.
