Booger is an absolutely relaxing and beautiful wine experience. We all had the red flight of Barbera. Zinfandel, Cab Franc and Migliore red blend. All of the wines were smooth and well balanced. My favs were the Barbera and cab franc. Reasonable $10 for the flight. read more

Very charming winery with great wine and friendly service. Brought our 10 and 12 year old with us and sat under the trees while the kids explored a bit. Nice day trip. read more

Boeger Winery - a glass of wine and a bottle of wine - Wineries Near Me - Placerville, California

We've been wine members for some time, and generally love the tasting area and wine, but had to cancel our membership today. We stopped by to pick up our wine club order and asked if we could taste (we've tried three other times in the last year, without success). They said no, and that a reservation is required, despite the fact the entire outdoor tasting area was available. We understand the need for reservations because wineries are a big covid super spreader hubs, but when we suggested they keep a table open for members, they responded "well, that's why you need a reservation, sorry". Pretty rude and sassy tone. We were merely offering some constructive criticism but they clearly don't need our business anymore. Take your business to Delfino farms, where they appreciate your patronage. Wine is better too. Buy boeger for 50% of the tasting room cost at your local grocery outlet. read more

Fantastic wine assortment. We did a tasting and it blew our minds! My wife did a bites and I did reds and both were just as good! The staff was very informative and personable. They even had snacks to purchase and a beautiful picnic area to enjoy it at. What a beautiful afternoon. read more

Boeger is easily one of our favorite little getaways. Located near Apple Hill, it's an easy drive from Sacramento, and yet you feel like you're in a different world. Boeger has plenty of space to bring your family and friends. It is kid and dog friendly. There's even a blacksmith on site some days. The staff is phenomenal! They are friendly and knowledgeable about their wines. And the wines are great! Reservations are highly encouraged. read more

The ratings are so great and informative, we did the $5 tasting and then decided on our favorite bottle, the Primativo. We bought the bottle and then sat by the lake and enjoyed the view and the wine. Unbelievable, gorgeous, romantic. We will return for sure read more

Everything was so wonderful! Have picked up several of their bottles over the years from in store, finally was able to stop by their actual location - and it is so beautiful! The wine tasting was great, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Big plus - is that they're dog friendly - even had some water bowls out for them. We all had a great time, and are now members - so we'll see you all soon. Cheers! read more

We had a truly excellent wine tasting with Boeger! A reservation landed us a shaded picnic table and the tastings we had were excellent. Boeger offers red flights, white flights, or mixed flights. I had the red flight and thoroughly enjoyed each of the options. Ultimately I took home a few Barbera's, a Petite Sirah, and a highly recommended Cabernet Franc. There's also an excellent area to relax in the shade in a grove type area. read more

As this place being my first experience at a winery, I was highly impressed. The ambiance, landscape, and staff were all great with no complaints. I had reservations for an hour and stayed onsite for almost two hours. The wine was good with no complaints. I recommend this place to others if they are new to drinking wine. My wife and I were very appreciative of the hospitality as they explained wine tasting and food pairing very well. In addition to the wine, I highly suggest getting the crackers, goat cheese and spicy salami. This combination went well with every wine we tasted. It seems that walk-ins with no reservations is preferred as they had different drinking options. I will most likely not be back as I live closer to Napa, but I will always recommend this place to others that live in the area. read more

Very nice Winery with benches on both sides of the driveway leading to the parking lot. Three sets of tasting flights are available for purchase as are glasses and bottles at the open air bar. Wine tasting is also available indoors with AC inside the tasting room / main building. Bathrooms are also located here with 1 dedicated to Family's with Children (changing station, sink, etc.). Outside food is allowed and you can also buy cheese, cold cuts, crackers for Charcuterie here. Wines are decent at $21 to $30 per bottle. The Reserve Barbera was the best imo. Aviento 5 estrellas for the venue wines are subjective. To each their own hermanas(os). read more

Boeger Winery has gorgeous views, beautiful grounds, great service and hospitality, and delicious wine! This winery is located in the Apple Hill area. The tasting room is kind of small, but the grounds are huge. It was busy when I came on a cold Saturday, but it didn't take too long to do a tasting. I can imagine how packed this place can get when the weather is sunny. My sister and I did a tasting of 6 wines for $5. What a deal! I couldn't believe it. We could mix and match red and white wines from the whites and reds list, which I thought was nice, since I like whites, but am slowly making my way towards drinking reds. Our sommelier was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive towards us despite it being busy. I wish I remembered her name because she really made it a pleasant wine tasting experience for me. The winery grounds has lots of tables, wooden chairs, twinkly lights set up for you to sit and enjoy your glass of wine with a picnic on their grounds. Oh, I am definitely bringing my picnic basket here next time. I kept saying how beautiful the winery was! It has kind of a rustic vibe to it. There is even an old rustic looking house sitting on the property with a decor sign that says "WINE". What a perfect backdrop for a cute IG photo. This place is definitely Instagram worthy. Parking space is ample and you can see rows and rows of vineyards here. I can't wait to come back when the vineyards are grown. Can you imagine how beautiful the views would be just from the parking lot? I had such a great time here. I really can't wait to come back! read more

I visited this winery with family for a birthday celebration and we were treated very rudely. I made a reservation ahead of time. A few of our family members visiting were denied when presenting a foreign ID and told they could not purchase alcohol because "California law". It was really disappointing. We went to another winery instead and had no issue. We are Latino. Would never return. https://www.abc.ca.gov/education/licensee-education/checking-identification/ read more

Beautiful place to sit and eat! Great outdoor seating but you have to buy a bottle of wine to sit out there. But all the wines are great so no problem. They help you out inside with an affordable wine tasting so you know which one to get. read more

Beautiful lobby and beautiful open courtyard to enjoy some wine and food. My wife and I come here on weekends away to spend time together. Just beautiful! And the wine is incredible! read more

Every time I went to Boeger Winery, I would whine to one of my friends about how I wanted to have a membership, but was reluctant because of the predominantly red wine shipment. Unfortunately, red wine does not get along with me and since I mentioned this to the woman at the counter, she suggested that I still sign up and they would be happy to swap out some for whites instead. This made my heart happy. Boeger has beautiful grounds and their wines are amazing. My latest favorite has to be their Barbeara...it's rich in flavor and absolutely yummy. Their Chardonnay is quite good too. read more

We accidentally came up during the wrong week for the Lavender Festival and read some really good reviews for Boeger Winery. Although they did not allow us to go outside for our wine tasting, they were absolutely amazing and kind! Wonderful prices and excellent service! Highly recommend! Melissa was helping us select a great wine! I liked the Sauvignon Blanc but my friends preferred the Boeger Primitivo. Their patio area was also very clean, shaded and breathtaking! read more

Normally I come here in the fall for the beautiful grounds and the cab franc. This year the '17Cab Franc just wasn't very good at all, I couldn't even finish the tasting. I tried all of the wines on my list below and the two Zin's, the Zin's were not very good but the Barbara was outstanding!!! FYI if you try to buy their Barbara at Trader Joe's, it does not taste the same at all. We called ahead to see if we needed reservations, we were told no they weren't very busy. When we got there, the check in guy was pretty wound up and said the ppl on the phone didn't know what they are talking about. It's $10 to reserve a table for 1.5 hrs, that is the only way to taste wines ($10 per flight). On the barn side you don't need reservations but there is no wine tastings, it's buy a glass and a bottle first come first serve. Things are tough with Covid, thankfully the rest of the employees made up for a bad first impression. Spending an afternoon here in the fall is just heavenly read more

Excellent service and atmosphere. The entire staff is friendly and always makes you feel special.

We stopped here on the way down the hill. We didn't have a reservation but the ladies found us a little outdoor spot. We did the wine tasting and the entire experience was amazing. They attend to you as soon as you walk in, show you menus and very professional. read more

The grounds are lovely and we enjoy their wine. I have one major bone to pick when them though. They are one of the few wineries in the Placer/El Dorado/Amador area that does not waive the tasting fee with bottle purchase. The fee is $10 (for only 4 tastes) and their bottles run $20-25 on average.... so you're better off just getting a bottle if you have 2+ people, which is annoying because we'd prefer to try a few different things to help us decide what to buy. Boeger management - guess what? We went to 5 other wineries in this area on the trip. Every single one waived our tasting fees with bottle purchase. At every one of those wineries, we bought multiple bottles. At some we bought full cases! At Boeger we bought ONE bottle (for this reason alone). Do the math. Being stingy with the tasting fee is not beneficial for you or me. I thought it might just be temporary for COVID but I see older reviews complain about this as well (though it seems they've increased the price from $5 to $10 and reduced the number of tastes since then...) Yeah yeah $10 is not a huge deal but it just makes them come off greedy and like they really need to get over themselves (reminders of overpriced snooty Napa/Sonoma ick), making me not want to give them any more business. And especially when every other winery in the area is generous and welcoming. By the way, just a tip, you can find the Boeger standards like Barbera at places like Total Wine and Safeway for under $15, so stick with the more rare wines when tasting/purchasing at the winery. read more

We've been coming here for years, and are incredibly let down as to how this place has changed. As of the past 4-5 times we've visited we've been treated with nothing but absolute TERRIBLE service. It used to be such a fun place to come and taste and get to know the staff, now the staff could care less and has turned to such a cold incredibly and indifferent place. Show up without a reservation: get treated like second class citizens. The grounds are beautiful and the wine is good. This review is solely based on terrible guest experience - which is a shame. Never coming back. read more

We cancelled our 10+ year Club Membership today! We live locally and have always maintained at least 3 wine club memberships within El Dorado and Amador counties. Although we have tried and changed some others, we always continued the one at Boeger. The grounds and location (closest winery to El Dorado Hills area) Complimentary flight tastings and the great events have always been high points that we as appreciated Club members enjoyed throughout that decade. Recently, a lot changed, above and beyond the common COVID related changes all wineries experienced As Club Members when picking up our Quarterly Selection, my wife and I ALWAYS took advantage of the Complimentary Club Member tastings, She did a white flight and I did red. After experiencing those, we, for 10 years, always tasted the Club Selection wines, often deciding to swap any out with ones we liked more (paying the difference as needed). Yesterday, for the first time, ever, we were informed that we would be charged for an additional flight if we wanted to taste the Club selections. It is the principle, of not taking care of Club Members, and diminishing appreciation, not the extra cost. Also, Club Members are now charged for events that were for many years, a Complimentary part of Membership Odd that Club Members can bring 2 guests who get additional flights, totaling 4, BUT NOW are required to pay for a 3rd flight to taste their own pickup. Many wineries do not have Complimentary Club events while others do, we understand the different offerings, but have not been exposed to any others decreasing benefits. It's a shame that the Customer Appreciation part has dropped from the Club Member (and the focus on Quarterly recurring SALE $$) has replaced it We have been members of a bunch of wineries, in El Dorado, Amador, Lake, and Mendocino Counties and NEVER had any even propose a charge to taste the Quarterly Club selections we were picking up. Regretfully, after 10 years as Club Members, we cancelled. read more

Became a member of their wine club, high quality wine, incredible facilities and kid friendly, a must-stop on any Apple Hill wine tour!

Having fallen for Boeger back in 2010 when I first tasted one of their excellent Barberas, I am sad I didn't visit before they started charging for tasting. Still, you get a free glass with the reserve tasting, and the fee for the regular tasting is waved if you buy a bottle of non reserve wine. Not bad, all in all. I went on a double to Apple Hill this past weekend, and Boeger was our last stop. This place was definitely the place to be, and the tasting room was crowded. Staff remained undaunted by this though, and we were attended to without much of a wait. My boyfriend and I went for the reserve tasting, which included about 7 select wines, including the Walker Zinfandel, which may be the best zin I've ever tasted. Seriously jammy with a bit of spice. Boeger Migliore Reserve and the Boeger Barbera were also remarkably complex. Many different tastes to experience in just the one sip. It was fun to learn about the background for the varietal names and the Boeger family history. The folks here are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous here. The leaves are turning, unlike Sacramento Droughtland, so that was really enjoyable to see. Plenty of romantic photo ops around, including trails, logs for sitting, a rusted old jalopy, and a cute little blacksmithy barn. This would be a great place to do engagement photos. Just sayin.' There's a bit of parking in the back behind the tasting room, thought be wary that the steep driveway is a little narrow. I'm not sure two full size cars can pass by each other on it, and luckily we didn't get to find out. I will need to come back on a possibly less crowded day, though autumn is more than likely the opportune time to come and see the 360 degree beauty here. read more

Great wine selection and beautiful view service was good. Had a quick drop by before heading out to Tahoe and it was amazing

We movie here from Elk Grove after 17 yrs to find our forever home and after settling in we knew it was "a must" to find a local family friendly winery near our home. We always enjoy bbq, picnics and relaxing with family and friends. We have to say, we absolutely love Boeger Winery not only is the wine delicious the staff here are wonderful they always treat us like family. We would recommend this place to all our family and friends. read more

This winery was beautiful! It's one of the first winery's on Carson rd. As soon as you turn in the property, you can see how beautiful it is. We came on a Monday afternoon and it was very quiet. The initial parking area seemed small but I did see a parking sign pointing towards the vineyards. I assume that's where many cars park when they have overflow. The inside tasting area was a little small. I can't imagine how packed it must be during the weekends or fall! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The lady didn't really describe the wine like the other wineries did. Which is fine with me because I'm not a wine connoisseur at all. I usually have no idea what they're talking about anyways. It's $5 to taste 6 of their regular wines and $20 to taste 8 (?) of their reserve wines and you get to take home a souvenir glass. The outside area was GORGEOUS and huge! They had plenty of areas to sip and hang. They had market lights, tables, etc! This would be a great place to come with some girlfriends. read more

Our family visited Boeger to relax, wine taste and just enjoy a picnic day. Boeger gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the day. The property is clean, well taken care of, and quiet. Even though a good number of people were there, it felt so peaceful to be able to just relax at a picnic table with the stream flowing next to us. I would definitely recommend checking out the winery if you're looking for a great experience. This is a place you could very easily relax at for the entire day. read more

We have been members of Boeger for many years and it is one of our favorite wineries in the El Dorado County area. Since we live in Placerville, it is one of our "go to" wineries if we want to grab a bottle of wine to share and sit outside in the beautifully landscaped grounds at the end of the day. It is truly lovely all year round and the wine is very tasty. We especially like the BarBEARa. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. There is a small deli section full of meats, cheeses and nuts, etc. to build a picnic and enjoy outside at one of the picnic tables or in an Adirondack chair overlooking the little pond and charming old original winery. We would highly recommend this winery next time you are in Placerville. It is also child and dog friendly. read more

This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The grounds and the tasting room are seriously gorgeous. The service is lacking, I waited over 5 mins to be helped (there was just one other couple in there). I was also disappointed that they don't allow you to taste anything prior to buying. I get it that free tastings are becoming a thing of the past however even your run of the mill family restaurant allows you to taste a wine before ordering a glass, let alone a few bottles at a prestigious vineyard. My family and I have been attending their Friday live night music events and the kids have had a blast. They charge $10 for parking which I think is ridiculous when you factor in that they are selling a few bottles per group on top of that-it is a little bit off putting, that with the lack luster service and overall feeling of not being welcomed is where the 3 stars come from as I know nothing about wine :) read more

Such friendly staff and huge wine selection. This is one of the first stops when you head up to Apple Hill. Wine tasting ate $5 - $15 and include 6 wines to try. Bottles of wine are very reasonably priced. The weekend I went there were different vendors set up outside with chocolate, jams, body products, etc and live music. I am not sure if it is like that every weekend but it was really nice to walk around and check out all the local hand made products. Oh! and they are dog-friendly which is so fun. read more
