Holiday Nights Menu is an all day Menu. Went at lunch expecting the full menu, planned out my meal ahead but actually they only have a small menu of premade pastas and salads the few pizzas they make to order. I didn’t want premade food so we just got a pizza, which was good. Just wanted to warn anyone in case they didn’t know about the menu.
What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.
There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

Decent food. The food is better than the horrible wine. We had two pastas and a pizza for ~$85, so it’s on the pricey side. It’s not good enough to warrant coming out of your way to get here, especially since the wine is so bad.

The Kitchen at Bernardo Winery offers a casual and charming dining experience within the winery property. Freshly baked Hot Ciabata bread is a highlight, paired with flavorful Prosciutto and Salami. The restaurant serves a mix of pizza, salads, and appetizers, with food brought out after ordering at the counter. Customers often enjoy dining outdoors while taking in views of the property and watching people pass by. The portion sizes are generous, and the food is generally good, though some feel it is a bit overpriced for the average taste. The ambiance is beautiful and timeless, making it a hidden gem within the suburb community of Rancho Bernardo. Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of wine, gelato, and explore the mini village-like setting with shops, including a sweets shop that sells house-made gelato and a free museum about the city. Outdoor seating is described as super cute, perfect for date night or a fun day with friends. The winery also offers a complimentary water station, and there are various boutique shops and picture spots throughout the village. The parking lot is small but additional parking is available further up. Overall, The Kitchen is a good place for a casual meal with family or friends, especially on nice evenings when sitting outside enhances the experience.
