Bernardo Winery- San Diego CA California Poway

Welcome - The Beginning...

Located 25 miles north of downtown San Diego, nestled inside the quaint town of Rancho Bernardo, lies one of the best-kept secrets in the county...
The Bernardo Winery is 118 years old, and still fully functional as a producing winery, Bernardo has lessened in size and grown in character. 'Strewn' with Unique Village Shops including a coffee shop and salon, and boasting an award winning cafe, Bernardo Winery has turned into more of a destination than ever.

QUOTES FROM OUR VERY GRACIOUS VISITORS:

 

The Bernardo Winery was a stop my family and I will never forget. Visiting the winery was in memory of my father whom pass Jan 10th 2006 at 57 years old from colon cancer. My mother Sandy picked this winery while going through a tourist magazine and since we had never experienced wine tasting figured we do this one for him. Which he, might I add, loved his wines and cocktails. This was one of the best experiences of my trip to California. The wine is awesome and the family team of Bernardo Winery was unbelievably hospitable. Thank you so much for touching my family's life. - Jessica

 

My girlfriend and I fell upon Bernardo Winery on a Sunday in June this past summer and we had a blast! First off, we never knew the place even existed and we grew up right down the block. Second the music that Sunday was so good, it perfected the already amazing ambiance. We wont forget our visit thank you! -Steven

 

Breathtaking... Just breathtaking... - Andrea

 

Its a little Gem in the middle of RB. wait till all the people from San Diego find out about this place! - Kristen

 

Mission Statement:
To uphold the tradition of being an oasis of a bygone era encompassing all the elements including antique winemaking festive gathers and relaxing rendezvous under olive trees, while still embracing modern business practices. In a sense, Bernardo Winery is a fine Meritage, a blend of many factors to create the optimum outcome.
