lthough the Bogle family
has been farming since the
mid-1800’s, it was not until
1969 that the father and son team
of Warren and Chris Bogle planted
their first 20 acres of wine grapes in
Clarksburg, California. In this small
farming community nestled along the
Sacramento River, the Bogle family’s
years of hard work have developed
into an impressive grape growing
operation, as well as a nationally
Warren Bogle
acclaimed winery.

Today Bogle Vineyards farms over 1,200 acres of wine
grapes in the Delta region. While the winery was established
ten years after the first grapes were planted, its success has
grown tremendously along with the vineyards.

The success of Bogle
over the years is firmly rooted
in one thing: the day-to-day
involvement of the Bogle family
in the hands-on effort to produce
and promote quality wines. Patty
Bogle became involved in the
early years of the vineyards with
her late husband Chris, when
they planted fields together in
Chris Bogle
the early 1970’s. Patty took over
operation of the winery in 1989 and has directed production to
new and exciting heights. Patty’s daughter Jody also contributes to
the family business in customer relations, as well as the wine club
and international sales. Patty’s
son Warren, named after the
founder of Bogle Vineyards, is
the sixth generation of the Bogle
family to farm this fertile Delta
region. Like his grandfather
and father, Warren understands
that in order to produce quality
wines, you must first produce
quality grapes. This tradition
of respect for the land and the
vines is crucial to the success of
Bogle wines.

ince 1992, Bogle Winery has participated in the
California Appellation Program. In this program, winemakers
source fruit from some of the best vineyards in the state and
blend them with Bogle’s Estate Vineyards in Clarksburg, thus
assuring that the wines benefit from many of the incredible
grape growing regions of California. Each and every Bogle wine
created is a unique and exciting blend with true varietal character
and an approachable style. With their deep commitment to quality,
the Bogle family would not have it any other way.
