About Us
Welcome to Bernardo Winery!
Located 25 miles north of downtown San Diego, nestled inside the quiet town of Rancho Bernardo, lies one of the best-kept secrets in the county, and a slice of San Diego history. Winery and Village tucked away in the hills of North County, San Diego. We offer wine tasting, a village of unique shops, restaurant, coffee house, beautiful gardens and a little slice of the old country. Family owned for three generations and over 125 years old, the Rizzo family still produces wines at the winery using San Diego grapes.
The winery has transitioned over the years from the early production and growing style established in San Diego by the missionaries to family heritage roots by producing Italian varietals as well as Spanish and French varietals/ Our wines are dry climate style wines well suited for the San Diego Terrior.
We look forward to you visiting Bernardo Winery!

Covid-19 and The Winery
Thank you for supporting Bernardo Winery in this unprecedented time. We are grateful for our loyal customers and guests who have supported us, and even more grateful to announce our limited re-opening on June 3rd, 2020.
The Tasting Room Wine & Food service will require a reservation.
Wine Bottle sales to-go, visiting our Village Shops and Manzanita Roasting not require a reservation, however.
In preparing to reopen, Bernardo Winery has implemented guidelines from multiple institutions compiled specifically for wineries by the California Wine Institute. These health and safety protocols for reopening winery tasting rooms with food service are based on established governmental health and safety guidance (CDC, OSHA, FDA, and CDPH).
We would like to make you, our guest, feel comfortable in knowing rigorous health and safety measures have been implemented for your safely and the safety of our staff. Facial coverings and social distancing are required.
