“Our goal was to build something that felt natural—California modern with an organic vibe. A Zen place with clean lines where guests could feel at home.” – Farmer-Winemaker Eric Jensen
The flow from indoors to outdoors is seamless, and the steep sloping estate vineyard crashes right into the outdoor seating area.
Eric Jensen and his wife Lisa created Booker’s new visitor space to reflect their minimalist philosophy of interfering with the land as little as possible.
The Booker winery is solar powered, and the vineyard is farmed organically. Eric Jensen has practiced organic farming methods since 2006, and in 2021 the vineyard received official CCOF organic certification, the most respected standard of its kind.
“My goal was to push past trends and design a sophisticated space that would stand the test of time.” – Designer Katie Martinez
“The most special thing about this project is the connection between the terraces and the vineyards…My focus is on the emotional impact of the space, and the architecture evolves in response.” – Architect Juancarlos Fernandez, Signum Architecture
