We specifically drove to Bonny Doon to have a tasting at Beauregard. And we are really glad we did. Beauregard has a special memory for us as it was the last place we went before lockdown. That day was also beautiful and we decided to take a long drive on that afternoon to have a wine tasting at Beauregard. Yesterday, we entered the tasting room and it was packed! The winemaker, Ryan, was there and was talking to the guests and pouring wines. It's always nice to see and owner/ winemaker in the tasting room interacting with the guests. It also felt very special because California tortoise shell butterflies were all over the area. No one quite knows why they are here, but they are gracing by the area with their presence. And it's beautiful. The wines at Beauregard are better than I remembered them. They were excellent and I highly recommend a stop at this tasting room. I do not think you will be disappointed. read more

Very nice cozy wine tasting room in Bonny Doon. I had the $25 flight. The wines tend to be acidic / citrusy / astringent. Here are my rankings: 4.3/5: 2024 syrah grenache in neutral oak. good balance. 4.0: Chardonay oeuf: Very yeasty, citrusy, dry. 3.0: 2021 Zinfandel: From beauregard ranch. Aged in neutral oak. Overall it has a weak body. 2.5: 2023 pinot noir: smoky dry. Flavor is flat. From Coast Grade vineyard. Like a tart cranberry. 2.0: White sparkling pinot. No time on the skin. Super dry. Lightly carbonated. Very tart and lemony. read more

Beauregard Vineyards - $25 flight tasting - Wineries Near Me - Bonny Doon, California

Ambiance was quaint and charming, the wine was very good. Surprisingly delicious local Chardonnay! Highly recommended for a nice road trip!

The vibe of this place is super cute and cozy. Nestled in the redwood trees - under 10 mins from Bonny Doon beach. There is no food served here (no cheese to buy either). I really enjoyed their Pinot noir and Meritage (half cab and half merlot) - their red blend was very nice as well. The lady serving us was super warm and nice - felt like I was at a friends place getting some wine. read more

We had the best time trying a wide variety of wines, enjoying the redwood trees, and chatting with Patricia. The drive from the beach was quick and beautiful and the wines were all delicious. The vibe is cozy cottage in the redwoods and we took our time to enjoy the beautiful back patio. I would recommend stopping by and would absolutely return! Grateful for a lovely sunny spring afternoon. read more

My wife and I, along with another couple visited Beauregard Vineyards on March 28th. We had a great experience with friendly staff and good wine. We enjoyed the picnic area since it was such nice weather. read more

We had first class service from Patricia she made our experience so comfortable and relaxed. Wine was fantastic and the pours were generous. Enjoyed Pinots not a big Chardonnay person but thought theres was very satisfying. Then we enjoyed a glass of Pinot with some new friends under the redwoods wow what a great time. read more

This quant winery tucked away in the town of Boonydoon in the Santa Cruz Mountains is a must have spot to indulge in fabulous wines. We were treated to a flight of 5 wines for $20. The flight consisted of the delicious, lively, light, buttery Chardonnay that was the best Chard I have tasted. Next the "2021" Charmat a sparkling Chardonnay was alright with a tart and sour taste, not my favorite. Now on to the reds, I'm a pinot girl and love this varietal. The "2023" Pinot Noir was spicy, had aromas of pepper not as light as Pinots I've had in the past. The "2021" Meritage was my companion on the trip's favorite wine. This wine had earthy tones, a more traditional red wine taste, complimenting many bbq, and pasta meals. Lastly, was the "2019" Zinfandel it had aromas of berries, a kick to it and a lot smoother with chocolate. Our server Leia was courteous and friendly and we were served by the 4th generation winemaker Ryan who was knowledgeable and upbeat. This wine tasting experience exceeded all my expectations. I will be back! read more

Really great winery. We used to love going....but ever since they got rid of the chairs in the tasting room I almost feel unwelcome. Making guests stand while wine tasting is not it...horrible decision. The grounds are still very inviting. read more

We have been members for many years at this winery. The wines produced there are made by a person who takes his craft seriously. The site is located in the redwoods just about a 5 minute drive from the coast. During the year they host food and wine events. The staff are al very knowledgeable and very friendly. A very nice place to hang out and bring a lunch and drink wine in the outdoor area. read more

Wow! Wine tasting in the redwoods! Count me in. Visiting during Spring Break Monday around 4pm, the place was empty. But you're immediately greeted by the wood burning smell of timber in a cabin setting. All their furniture was made out redwoods. Wine tasting is $25/pp but comped if you purchase $50 or more. The Chardonnay was so well balanced. I'm more of a red wine drinker because most whites aren't that good. But this one was amazing! The region is known for their Chardonnay and Pinot noirs. We bought a bottle and drank it on property by the Adirondack chairs while our kids played on property including the swing on the redwoods. Overall a very unique wine tasting experience. Also a bonus for having Tesla chargers! read more

Outrageously expensive Chardonnay (more than seventy bucks a bottle ) ... so many good wineries in SC ... give this one a miss !

Hit up this great little winery, coming home from a camping trip in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I was coming from Felton and this was on route to the coast, which was my desired route for the last leg of a relaxing trip. The road from Felton though is not an easy one, as it is tight and very windy, albeit beautiful. Coming up the hill from highway 1 is much easier. They have a nice spacious indoor tasting room that has a cabin in the woods feel to it. I went on a quiet weekday and it was perfect. I was actually quite surprised that they keep regular hours open to the public/walk-ins. Most places this small and/or out in the cuts are usually appointments only. Tastings are about $23ish and I got 6 tastings that was quite curated. My host/pourer was a consummate professional, knowledgeable about their product/mission yet very personable. Every single wine was so different from another which made for an interesting yet fun ride. From whites you can go from a full bodied yet fruity chardonnay without the heavy oak that chardonnays can often tow. Then to an aged sparkling which had some serious funk, that would probably pair well with some cheese and nuts. And from the reds you can taste a Pinot from a vineyard just up the hill right here in Bonny Doon then taste a ripe Syrah from a vineyard in Sonoma County that they have ties to. Very educational and the fee is waived if you take a bottle or more home, which is almost mandatory for me anyways. A huge draw for me here though is their outdoor grounds. They have a few picnic areas all under/near redwood trees that just hit for me. I love redwoods and I love wine tasting, and to combine the 2, just put me wine tasting heaven. Between the shade and sounds of birds chirping next to a babbling live stream, made it a must for me to order a glass of wine that I liked from my tasting, then to sit outside and enjoy a sandwich from my cooler. What an epic way to take a break from the road and start the first leg of the road trip home. Chill mode exemplified. read more

No food but did have crackers, cheese and chocolate. The wine tasting was great. Flavorful wines. Service was great. Explained each wine in great detail. Had a wine tasting menu you can write notes on and rate your wine. Explained the local wine estates and where each wine came from. Gorgeous outdoor setting areas surrenders my nature. Must visit. read more

Highly recommend visiting this adorable winery for a flight tasting. It's set back in the redwoods of Bonny Doon, just above the marine fog line. So, if it's overcast on the beach, it might be the perfect place to warm up, grab a flight, and eat some snacks. We spent about an hour and half, after snagging a same day reservation on their website. We sat at a little picnic table with an umbrella next to giant redwoods. The flights are reasonably priced at $25 per person and you get 5 different pours. I was most surprised by their delicious Chardonnay and I'm normally a Cab Sav kinda a person. In fact, the Chardonnays were so good, we went home with three bottles! Kids are welcome. The have a picnic style snack menu for you to choose items a la cart. Highly recommend the jams, especially the salted watermelon if it's still on the menu. Since we live about 15 mins away, we signed up for a membership because you get a big discount that day and ten free tastings a year. There is no membership fee, you only commit to purchasing 2 bottles a month. Easy enough! 10/10 - friendly staff 10/10 - ambiance 7/10 - flight quality and presentation (didn't love the pinot noir/ zinfadel on the flight menu, but that's just my opinion) 9/10 - pricing read more

Please go to this establishment if you desire short pours, overpriced, and mediocre wine. Not even high end restaurants charge $20 for a short poured glass of wine. Pinot Noir was flat, sparkling Chardonnay was not memorable. read more

I don't understand the lack of service when it came to our tasting, but there is a HUGE disconnect when it comes to how a tasting is hosted here. Our first time here and we chose to sit at a table for two away from the bar. There was a group of about 12 people tasting on the other side of the room, but other than that, we were the only ones there. The young man working that day had zero interest in coming to our table, speaking about the pours or engaging with us at all. Seemed very ignorant about working in a tasting room. He went so far as to call us over to the bar to pour the next samples, which is very rude and extremely off putting. We did notice that he made the effort to go to the group table and attend to their every need. He definitely wasn't demanding that they leave their seats for the next wine pour. It was terrible, and we were just very shocked. I have wine tasted all over the world, and this is what we get when visiting the local hometown wineries? There was some saving grace that visit, as the young woman behind the bar noticed we were neglected and came to us for the last two pours since the guy was nowhere to be found. She imparted some nice history about the location and talked wine with us. My goal for the day was to buy a few cases of local, hometown area wines from different wineries for my friends to try at a party I am hosting in May. The wines we tried were good. However: We didn't buy a damn thing here, thanks to the sorry service and neglect we felt while tasting here. Felt very disregarded here. Like this is the norm. Will not be returning here, and have already told this story to my local family and friends about the shitty experience so that they don't waste their time here. They agree that tastings are NOT done this way. Something has to be done about the staff here that feel that it's ok to yell from across the bar at people and make them get up each time there's a new pour and never give any background on what's being poured. No class. A very unwelcoming experience. I would be absolutely embarrassed if these were my frontline employees. read more

I absolutely loved coming here with my friend! This place is absolutely breathtaking surrounded by redwoods all around! Heads up that the road to get here is pretty windy, so be sure to go the speed limit if you've never been there. We each got a tasting flight, and we both really enjoyed the chardonnay (p.s. I actually hate every other chardonnay I've ever tried, but this doesn't taste like a normal chardonnay - it's so much better - something about the soil in the mountains or something for this particular grape lol). If I hadn't already had wine at home, I would have bought a bottle or two. The rosé and the rest of the wines (which are red) were okay. I don't really like red wine in general (I'm a white or sparkling wine person), so please try the reds for yourself if you're into them! I also have a Priority Wine pass, which they honored (so I got a 2 for 1 tasting) and were friendly about it too. They don't have a huge selection of food, but there are some good snacks (I got the manchego cheese and marcona almonds which were yummy). They also had a local oyster place shucking oysters outside when I went (I think the outside food changes). I ordered a half dozen and they were really good. I also usually just use lemon and cocktail sauce, which they had, but they had an assortment of other sauces too. I tried this red vinaigrette one and it was actually delicious (even better than cocktail sauce!) and ended up eating all my oysters with that sauce instead. Tables are so well-spaced, felt very comfortable in the times of COVID. The tables are super lovely too, all wood tables surrounded by the redwood forest. It's cool in the shade of course, so I recommend you bring a light jacket with you even in the summer. It's such a beautiful and Instagram-worthy spot. Be sure to take some pictures of the redwoods! Our server Peter was very kind and brought us everything we needed. Again, he honored and was kind about the Priority Wine pass, which I loved. This winery is fairly close to me, so I'd like to make this my go-to winery around Santa Cruz, so I'll def be back for more wine tastings and snacks on the weekends. Our server was also really informed about all the wine and told us the back story to pretty much every wine. He also didn't try to move us along and he let us linger while we were finishing up our tastings. I appreciated his vast knowledge and his kindness! Will def be back! Just wish they allowed dogs, then this place would be perfect lol! read more

Lovely winery tucked in the redwoods. You have to venture out here to check this place out! You can get a tasting for $20 and you try a flight of their wonderful wines. I loved the Zinfandel 2018 and the Chardonnay. You can order snacks as well and it's reasonably priced. The area is so beautiful and peaceful. I came here after going to the beach and I'm so glad I decided to come here. The staff were very nice and it was not crowded. I was there at the table and just enjoyed soaking in the smell of the trees and the peace around. It is quite sad that as you drive off to Fenton, you can see some of the charred trees. This area was hit hard. I would definitely go back here to enjoy more of their wines! read more

What a beautifully-located Vineyard with a charming tasting room and staff. It is definitely worth the drive to get here, just be sure to give yourself ample time to enjoy and take it all in. I did the wine tasting for $25 but then bought two bottles of wine which waived my tasting fee. The wine-tender was extremely welcoming and sweet and educated me around the company and it's history. My palette enjoyed the Rose the most. I look forward to coming back here with company next time! read more

This Vinyard is a MUST!! We came here on a trip to Santa Cruz and Alicia was amazing. We enjoyed a flight of 5 wines (all of which were 10/10) in the most relaxing, ambient environment. Picture yourself with a delicious glass of wine in the foothills of Santa Cruz in the middle of redwood trees, flowers, and greenery. The history of this Vinyard is amazing and we loved supporting a family-owned business. Truly magical. read more

Beauregard Vineyards is really beautiful. The path to get there took us on a small winding road through redwoods and other beautiful greenery. They have lots of seating areas, including picnic tables, and they even have a swing hanging from a tree! The tasting is $25/pp, and it included 5 wines, 3 of which were reds. We bought a $50 bottle of the Pinot Noir, which offset the tasting cost (waived for $50 wine purchase). cellular signal is poor, but they have wi-fi if needed. When they close, they shut off the power, and the bathrooms are then unaccessible. The employees are polite but not kind or welcoming unfortunately. Just a little warmth and friendliness would go a long way. read more

I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this wonderful tasting room. Such a beautiful and scenic atmosphere to sip wine. You can sit under redwood trees, next to a babbling brook, or inside their old-timey and very charming indoor room. You couldn't ask for a prettier tasting area! The servers were kind, knowledgeable, and very willing to answer any and all questions. They even poured us a tasting of the Rosé as we learned about the history of this family owned vineyard and the historical location. We loved our flight of reds and I can't wait to come back in summer time to try more of their wines. Definitely recommend! read more

I've always loved coming here. I've been a wine club member for years. One thing that would be great is if they allowed leashed dogs at least in their outdoor area. We always take,our Beagle with us camping nearby and can never drop by to,enjoy a tasting. Unfortunately because of this we decided to cancel the membership. I hope they someday reconsider and even have outdoor,doggie days. It sure would,increase business. Steve read more

We visited this past weekend right when the vineyard opened to pass some time before an afternoon wedding that day. We were able to snag a sunny table among the giant redwoods in the back. They were offering a food pairings menu that day which looked delicious, but we declined to go that route as we had a limited amount of time for our visit. Instead, we split the standard flight and the cabernet sauvignon vertical flight between each couple. We enjoyed the cabernet sauvignons and the chardonnay most. The staff was super friendly throughout the tasting and gave us directions after we realized we no longer had cell service. I would recommend this as a place to pass the time if you find yourself in the area! read more

Amazing hidden gem! I don't want to say too much cause I think this place is worth the drive and it will surprise you just how much of a good time you'll have in the woods drinking excellent wine. But don't take my word for it see for yourself. I highly recommend the awesome spot!!! read more

This little winery is our home-base for wine tasting in the Santa Cruz mountains. Having tasted at many wineries in the area, Beauregard's wines stand out as consistently delicious. I especially love their pinot noirs and orange wine. Every few years, the conditions will be right here to make a Late Harvest Zinfandel dessert wine, and Beauregard's is phenomenal -- not too sweet, and richly layered with flavor (we've gone through at least two cases). Their wine room is a cozy historic log cabin under the redwoods, which is the perfect place to lounge with friends or a good book. In the summer, there is regularly live music and homemade pizza fresh from their outdoor pizza oven. The winery dogs and cat are also quite friendly (but leave your own furry family at home). We've been members for over a year -- we enjoy the perks and the excuse for a relaxing escape to the redwoods. read more

This is arguably one of the most naturally beautiful places for wine tasting in Northern California. You're surrounded by redwoods, sitting at a wooden table all to your own, soaking up the scenery. A cheerful server greets you, offering options of tasting highly-rated whites and reds: Chardonnays, Pinots, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel. She lets us choose a few reds off the standard tasting menu. We also order a glass of late harvest Zinfandel that is the bomb. They offer a few snacks: cheeses, meats, etc. but we choose the food truck, that delivers two kinds of mole in a bowl or as nachos. We get our fix of veggies (mushrooms, greens, squash, onions) in a rich, zesty mole verde sauce. Off-the beaten track, you go about 3 miles inland from Highway 1 north of Santa Cruz. It's well worth the detour-- and don't forget to go on the swing! You may want to call ahead for reservations. read more

What an amazing location! The entire property and the drive up there is surrounded by redwood trees! They're majestic and create a very serene vibe. We made an advance reservation since we were a larger party of 15 people. The tasting price for larger group was $35pp and they gave us 5 wines to taste. We loved their Pinot Noir, Meritage and the Rose wines. We also ordered a bunch of bottles to enjoy there and the service was amazing. We were given a huge wooden table which was surrounded by redwood trees from all sides, cant describe how dreamy that felt! In the bay area where Napa is becoming so commercialized, I would rather drive up here to get some great wine, have a relaxed time and make amazing memories. They also had some snacks and cheese ready to purchase, but we brought our own picnic basket and cheese board to munch on while enjoying the wines. Highly recommend to try this place for a great day out in Santa Cruz area! read more

I came across this winery while randomly scrolling through yelp! I fell in love at first sight! I love being out in the nature and this place offers bench style tables in the middle of redwood trees. We went there on a Sunday morning as it tends to be less crowded! For all those people who want to avoid crowds which we typically see in the Bay Area, this is your place to be in! Since we were the first ones there, we found a quiet spot to ourselves and sent the next 5 hours drinking Chardonnay, playing sequence and munching on pizza and cheese! They don't have a lot of food or snack Orion's but allow you to take your own so we packed our own snacks and that made it even more fun! I fell in love with the ambience and wine, off course and will be back soon! read more

Very cool winery out in the Ben Lomond Mountain AVA deep in the redwood forests of Bonny Doon, about 30 minutes outside of Santa Cruz up the coast. There is a lot of history in this winery that you can read about in the back of the room as you head out to their lovely backyard. At some point the winery went by a different name and specialized in German style Riesling, but now they say they specialize in cool weather Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. To be honest I wasn't crazy about their Chardonnay or Pinot, but I thought they did a great Rose and Merlot. Their backyard is the perfect spot for a warm day with a little picnic. The grassy area has a few picnic tables and is completely shaded by tall redwood trees and flowering bushes. read more
