Bernardus Winery offers a wonderful experience, with kind and friendly staff, tasty wines, and a pleasant ambiance. The outdoor seating is perfect for a casual wine tasting, although it may not be ideal for those seeking a vineyard experience. Guests praise the knowledgeable and friendly staff who provide expert guidance on their wines. One reviewer mentioned a pourer who shared insights about the wine-making process. The winery has a good selection of wines, including a popular chardonnay that tastes like candy. For white wine lovers, the Sauvignon Blanc and rosé are also highly recommended, alongside the delicious Pinot Noir and Bordeaux blend. The famous Cabernet is absolutely delicious, and the service is incredible from start to finish.
Bernardus is both a winery and a beautiful resort. The tasting space is unique, housed in an old Bank of America building. The outdoor patio with umbrellas and seating is quite enjoyable and cozy, and dogs are permitted there as long as they stay quiet and do not disturb other guests. The wines are mostly from the Santa Lucia Highlands and surrounding Monterey County AVAs, and guests can enjoy side-by-side tastings and even off-menu splashes. The price points are great, and visitors can often find deals on bottles. While not everyone's absolute favorite, Bernardus is a destination that wine enthusiasts would enjoy returning to, particularly for their Pinot Noirs. The winery even features live music, adding to the pleasant atmosphere.
