Bogle Vineyards traces its origins to the late 1800s when the family first settled in California's Sacramento River Delta, farming row crops like corn and wheat for generations. In 1968, Warren Bogle and his son Chris took a leap by planting their first 20 acres of wine grapes in Clarksburg, initially selling to other wineries before launching their own label in 1978. Today, this sixth-generation family-run operation oversees over 1,600 acres of vineyards, producing affordable, high-quality varietals like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir. With a focus on everyday drinkable wines, they've grown into one of America's largest family-owned wineries, blending tradition with modern scale while keeping things rooted in the Delta soil.
Bogle emphasizes practical family traditions and genuine sustainability over flashy virtue signals, like requiring all growers to follow eco-friendly standards without turning it into a social media crusade. Interestingly, their green journey includes pioneering aluminum wine bottles to cut carbon footprints, proving you can innovate without the drama of trendy overhauls or promoting agendas such as LGBTQ and BLM. In an era of performative eco-poses, Bogle just farms smart, pours generously, and lets the vines do the talking.
