Bernardus Winery - Carmel Valley, California

This was a very amazing place to wine taste. There was so many good experiences that were 5+ stars. They have 5 Chardonnays, 7 Pinot Noirs, and more just in their printed menu. There are a few areas to taste inside and out. Besides the great friendly service, our favorite part was the style of wine. A little fruit forward, very smooth and all drinkable on its own. Highly recommend the trip out to the best wine experience in Carmel Valley.

We stumbled upon Bernardus Winery during our 2-day stay at Carmel Valley. We went in on Day 1 to ask for info on wine tasting. We came out a few hours later after tasting 4 different types of wine: Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Marinus Bordeaux Blend ($30/person)
We sat in comfy chairs in the patio area. Very relaxing latmosphere for wine tasting particularly on a warm September day.
Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They allowed us ample time to enjoy each wine before introducing the next one. We like the Marinus Bordeaux Blend 2015 so much we even bought a bottle!
We totally enjoyed our wine tasting experience. Thank you Rouark for looking after us so well.
Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Bernardus Winery is absolutely one of our favorites in the Carmel Valley. If you are in the area this stop is a must. Their tasting room is a former Bank of America location that was thoughtfully and beautifully remodeled.

The staff here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the wines they have available. We were delighted by the entire tasting and ended up grabbing a bottle of the Marinus to take home!

We found staff here beyond rude and unwelcoming. We arrived without a reservation, 8 out of 10 tables were open and we were seated in the poorest place. Sipped on for an hour and all the tables remained open. The host was making misogynistic jokes. The wine is decent but I’d stay away from this tasting room.

Enjoyed a birthday kickoff wine tasting at Bernardus for a friend - a beautiful setting, terrific wines, a knowledgeable host in a young man named Roarke. 🍷
Highly recommend as a fun gathering spot for friends and great wine!
