Bernardus Winery Reviews
Our favorite Hotel to stay in Carmel. It’s a little piece of heaven with stunning views and beautiful rooms. Customer Service is top notch.
Bernardus tasting room is friendly, welcoming and the staff is highly knowledgeable. Dogs are permitted on the patio with the understanding that they will be quiet and not disruptive to other guests. Occasionally guests do not respect those expectations and we’re pleased to see that they are asked to manage their pets or leave. This is why we always feel welcome with our dogs. Thank you Bernardus!
My son Tristen and I had a wonderful time here during our visit to Carmel Valley. The famous Cabernet was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible from start to finish. Everyone made us feel welcome, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we can’t wait to come back!

Bernardus Winery offers a wonderful experience, with kind 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.
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. 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.
