Booker Vineyard and Winery

Booker Vineyard and Winery is a winery in Paso Robles, California. The name Booker comes from two orphan brothers, Claude and Dick Booker, who purchased the land in the late 1920s. Eric and Lisa Jensen purchased 100 acres of the property in 2001 with the intent of growing fruit for area wineries; after making wine with Justin Smith (of Saxum) for five years and Stephan Asseo (of L'Aventure Wines) for two years, the Jensens created their own expression with Booker Vineyard. The 2005 vintage was Booker Vineyard's first release, with wines made by founder Eric Jensen. The estate vineyard was certified organic in April 2021 and designated Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) in 2023. Booker produces a range of wines with an emphasis on Rhône varietals, in limited production that often sells out to its wine club upon release. In 2021 Booker opened a state-of-the-art visitor center on the estate with underground wine caves and an indoor-outdoor tasting lounge.

The name Booker comes from two orphan brothers, Claude and Dick Booker, who purchased the land in the late 1920s. By the turn of the century the Booker brothers had acquired over 1,200 acres on Paso's Westside, and they left 100% of their estate to charity when they passed, Dick in 1990 and Claude in 2000. Eric and Lisa Jensen purchased 100 acres of the property in 2001 with the intent of growing the best fruit for some of the best wineries in the area. After making wine with Justin Smith (of Saxum) for five years and Stephan Asseo (of L'Aventure Wines) for two years, the Jensens decided to create their own expression with Booker Vineyard. The 2005 vintage was Booker Vineyard's first release, with the wines made by founder Eric Jensen. The vineyard received organic certification in April 2021 and became Regenerative Organic Certified® in 2023. In 2021, Booker opened a state-of-the-art visitor center on the estate with underground wine caves and an indoor-outdoor tasting lounge.
