    Wow. What a beautiful winery. Amazing service. Great spot to host an event. I will be back. Such a cute area!

    Aalia S.

    This place is the cutest! It's not just a winery. It's like a little village with clothing, stores, ice cream and candy, coffee, pizza, and wine. I ordered the rosé flight for wine and all the wines were delicious. I also tried the bread from the restaurant and the hummus. Everything was great and the vibes were great.

    Such a cute, fun and great winery. They have a tasting room and you can sit indoors or outdoors. We sat in both areas as it got hotter later in the day. We had a good size group of six of us and fit both inside and outside just fine. Some of us did the tasting and some of us did the wine flights. We also had food. For the wine tasting they offer a chocolate pairing for each glass. For the wine flights you get one chocolate tasting. The grounds have nice little shops and even a history museum of the area. A girls trip that turned out to be a great one at this winery.

    I can't wait to revisit this place! Went on a Saturday afternoon, and although it was sunny and hot there was still plenty of shade to sit and relax. I tried many wine flights as a newbie to wine, and determined that I love a Pinot Grigio!

    Dare I say this is the best pizza in North County!? We were wow'd by the flavors of the apple & gorgonzola, but the calabrese was also a testament to how well they've nailed the basics. Delicious from the toppings to the crust and paired perfectly with the wine! They also had a small sweets shop with gelato. Came here for Friday date night and we were so charmed by the whole experience. Truly a magical environment, from the dining, to reading about the history of the vineyard, to the artisan shops and their sweet employees. 10/10!!

    Today I went to the Bernardo winery for lunch & it was amazing! They had a farmers market until 1pm on Friday morning as you walk into the winders & it was awesome I got some veggies & fresh flowers. The restaurant opens at 11 and they make the most amazing fresh oven pizzas they are soooo good! We tried a couple different glasses of wine & enjoyed the afternoon sitting outside in the patio, it was a hot summer day but they had the misters going and it was perfect!

    This is our 3rd time to the winery and love it just as much as the previous visits! Theres lots of shaded seating so the heat isn't unbearable. We did the 6 pour tasting for the special case being offered, and the cost of the tasting went toward the cost of the case which was excellent! Each tasting came with a complimentary chocolate pairing at the sweet shoppe, which is a nice touch. Dinner at the kitchen was quick and delicious. Our favorites were the Pinot Grigio and Merlot, and special shout out to Cecily at the wine bar for helping us out!

    Okay this spot is super fun to go to. They have it decorated for Christmas so it's really fun and beautiful. They have various shops as well as vendors who come and set up shop. Everyone is super friendly. The tasting room as a nice old school classical leather couch, dark wood vibe to it. Only thing missing is a fire place. There is a stray cat that roams the tasting room so beware if you are allergic. Ale is the gentleman who helped us with our tasting about $70 including tip for 2 people. 6 wines of your choice. If you and your friend/family aren't too squeamish about germs then you can taste almost everything they have. The tasting doesn't include ports Ale was great, the servers have great personality and I really enjoyed talking with him. During your tasting you go across the way to the gelato spot and the lovely woman gives u a chocolate wafer pairing with each one. 30 to 70% cocoa, really nice touch. The shops are very boutique and come with that glorious boutique price we all dread. But I really like that it's something to look at and walk around while you drink your tasting. The brick oven pizza is $20. The crust was good. Food isn't mind blowing. It's not fancy at all, it's served in all to go containers, and the paper plates were the kind that u have the stack 4 together so it doesn't fall apart. Not saying this as a bad thing. Just saying this place is not fancy at all. There's also a coffee shop. I really wish the prices of the things in the shops weren't SOOO expensive. I could tell the stuff was collecting dust big time. $40 a bottle of wine, plus food, and then they want u to spend $100+ on Knick knacks. Kind of felt like they were trying to take advantage of people being buzzed and happy from the wine tasting. They should have jumbo table games or something else to do besides look at serverly overpriced stuff. The grounds are beautiful and it's a nice spot to have a wedding. Regardless the history is awesome, they have curated a really cute family friendly vibe. No dogs allowed, the dog I have pictured is a service dog. Id come back if someone else was going and recommended it but I am not dying to get back. Wine was good, you can tell a lot of work has gone into them over the past 100+ years. The darks are dry and the whites are oaky but light which I enjoy. I preferred their pinks. Ale definitely knows his stuff and all his favorites were my favorites as well Thanks

    Okay!! I get the hype! I came here for a friend's birthday on Saturday and this place is amazing. It is a hidden a gem. It is tucked into a neighborhood in Rancho Bernardo but as soon as you walk into the property you are swept away into a magical place! It didn't even feel like I was in San Diego!! I felt like I was in a fairytale book. They have food you can order which is DELICIOUS and gelato!! The wine is also amazing. We kept ordering the white merlot.

    Picking up the club order and tasting (in order left to right) the sparkling oro di Bernardo, 2020 amanti and 2022 tramonto (the fave)

    My husband and I have been members here for almost 3 years and have enjoyed it very much. We tend to come in the evenings and often are helped by Marilyn. She is a lovely woman who always has a smile on her face and remembers our conversation from the last visit. I enjoy coming in and talking to her. It just makes our time there even better. Our go to winter favorites are the mulled wine paired with the Vince's salad and apple and Gorgonzola pizza. We enjoy it the crisp nights sitting under the cozy lights and tower heaters. We're looking forward to Holiday nights next month and spending time with our family and friends at our favorite winery. Definitely check out this lovely gem nestled in the heart of RB. You won't be disappointed!

    Always beautiful scenery. You can grab your glass of wine and wander through the shops or sit and grab a bite to eat and one of the many tables and seating areas located around the winery. The Sunday we went there was a sort of craft fair going on so there were lots of neat places where you could buy everything from cookies to homemade trinkets and gifts. Great shopping for the holidays! It was pretty busy and the lots were full but we were able to find some near by street parking. I bought a glass of bubbly which was good but somehow there ended up being a charge for $30 on my credit card. I left a decent tip but did not think more than the glass of bubbly itself. It was busy and unfortunately I did not see until we had been home. The staff was nice though, talkative and very helpful. They also had wood fired pizza and some pastas avail for purchase. Great place to sit and unwind for a bit, even when crowded it is somehow tranquil and peaceful.

    A great local winery! There is something for everyone here. Nice food and wine and nice stores. We came to see a concert. The set up was really great for that venue and we enjoyed the wine. It was a very enjoyable experience. I look forward to coming back for other events.

    This is one of the coolest venues in San Diego. The history is wonderful and it's still owned and run by the same family. I have been here multiple times over the years for various events and always enjoyed myself. My last visit was to see the band Billy Nation (a Billy Joel cover band). They are really good and one of the members is one of the owners and winemaker (I believe). They play all over but it was the first time I'd seen them at the winery. They set up chairs in the courtyard and you can order food and wine to enjoy during the show. The string lighting adds to the ambiance and makes you feel like you are in a truly special place. I didn't eat this time but I have in the past and enjoyed the pasta & pizza. I have also been able to find wines that I've liked over the years too! They also have adorable little shops and an ice cream & sweets shop that you can visit during regular hours and during the concerts. Definitely a fun night and I will always come back.

    Hi there! Yes you can.

    Does this winery allow payment via apple pay?

    Yes! We accept Apple Pay.

    Is kids allowed here?

    Yes! The winery area is open, with a few shops. The food is order at the register, and they bring it out to you. All seating is outdoors except for inside the wine bar itself...

    Hello, Can I reserve an area (trellis area) for my wife's bday ?? (25 people) pls let me know. Thank you.…

    I think so. My friend has bday event there. But 'm not sure about the number of ppl, if there is a minimum. You will need to call and ask.

    Are children allowed to join on Saturdays? Also pets? Is there live music on weekends

    I have seen children outside in the dining, stores and picnic areas . They are no allowed in the area where you order the wine itself. They have a sign saying no one under 21 allowed in the winery building itself. The other answers I'm not too… 

    Can I bring a cake if I go to celebrate my birthday there?

    I would definitely call them to ask, but I certainly wouldn't see why not if you're ordering their wine.

    Is it Dog friendly?

    Hi there. Though we love our furry friends, we do not permit pets on our very busy grounds, for the safety and comfort of all of our guests. No Exceptions. Service animals… 

    Does anyone know the price for tasting for two?

    It’s $20/person. Not sure if there’s any deal for two.

    Which day of the week you have live band playing and what is the time?

    Hi! At this time we do not have any live music scheduled.

    Hi. Currently we do not have live music, but have music playing over our sound system throughout the winery. but please check back at www.bernardowinery.com and our social media platforms (facebook and Instagram) for changes and the re-addition of… 

    Can we bring our own food for a picnic?

    They do not allow outside food or beverages. We brought a sippy cup of milk for our young daughter and some light snacks but you are not allowed to bring outside food.

    Is the online reservation for the wine testing room actually for the outdoor seating?

    The reservation allows you to go inside and order, you seat yourself outside, the specific table is not reserved, you pick your table.

    Can we bring a picnic blanket to sit in the grassy area in the back instead of sit at a table?

    We have picnic tables on the grassy area now if you want to utilize the area behind the candy shop. It’s popular and great for families and has a casual vineyard vibe. Vito’s park and Rosario’s venue are closed off to the public if you’re referring… 

    Are you allowed to walk around the grounds with your wine (with a mask of course)? And given reservations I assume the number of people is limited to allow for social distancing? Thanks!

    Hi yeah you can walk around with your wine but you just have to have a mask on as you said, when you’re seated you can take it off. It’s reservation only but we have tables spread all across the patios and gardens now, so social distancing is easy… 

    I've tried getting ahold of someone to make a reservation and ask some questions but all automated options on the phone go to voicemail and no one calls back. 2 of the phone options don't work. How do I get ahold of someone?

    I just went again Sunday. My phone shows option 3 and I did speak to someone!

It's a very laidback, super relaxing winery that is in definite contrast to a few of the bigger more boisterous places in the area. Ron and Kelly are warm and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about wine. Their property has lots of tables and chairs outside with a decent amount of shade, which for me is a must, because my Irish skin cannot tolerate the San Diego sun. They are also very dog friendly, and usually have their own dog, Jade, acting a "greeter" when you arrive. How is the wine? Very well-thought out. I've never had less than an excellent glass of their wine every time we visit. My husband and I never leave without at least one bottle every time we visit. They are definitely worth the long and windy drive to find them.
