Bernardo Winery produces wines from locally sourced grapes that suit the San Diego Terroir, such as Syrah, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Viognier, Chardonnay and Aglianico. The century-old building that once was the tractor barn has been updated into a modern winemaking facility, located on the North side of the property. We incorporate the old ways of winemaking our ancestors used with modern technology and enological and viticulture practices. 

While our working winemaking facility is only open for private tours, guests can stroll through the historic antique winemaking facility of yesteryear, located in the winery courtyard. There you can see the old ways, using large scale redwood barrels that were built over 130 years ago.

SPARKLING

ORO DI BERNARDO
California sparkling wine with notes of peaches and honey. Dry to off-dry character. $25 bottle, $10 glass

WHITE & DRY ROSADO

2016 CHABLIS
Blended white made in the Ol’ Italian style. Soft, light, semi-dry white wine. A blend of French Colombard and Chenin Blanc. $24 bottle, $10 glass

2019 VIOGNIER
San Diego County
A slight difference in attention to detail in the vineyard can go a long way in the final bottle and this viognier is a shining example of that. With slightly more foliage cover and picking a little later, the fruit has given us some delicious flavors of guava, green banana, white peach, and almond. Wonderfully refreshing and great with light cheeses.
$30 bottle, $13 glass

2016 CHARDONNAY
A balanced chardonnay that pairs perfectly with the warm San Diego sun. Fruity yet savory, lightly buttery yet crisp. Citrus and hints of oak throughout. $25 bottle, $10 glass

2020 Reserve CHARDONNAY **
San Diego County
Nutty, oaky and full of character, this san diego chardonnay is a classic rendition of an old California song. Almond paste, lemon, vanilla and praline round out this partially ML fermented white.  $30 bottle, $13 glass

2018 VINCENZO BIANCO
San Diego County
San Diego County 65% Chardonnay, 25% Viognier, 10% Sauvignon Blanc - Barrel-aged and fermented, light skin contact, malolactic fermentation: all the great things that go into a very well-rounded and balanced vintage white wine.  notes of banana, toasted oak, buttered fresh bread, vanilla and sesame. $32 bottle, $13 glass

2019 PRIMAVERA ROSADO **

Estate Vineyards - The gentlest, most refreshing rosado produced at Bernardo with notes of watermelon, strawberry and lime. A light blend of Syrah and Barbera makes this rosado balanced and drinkable in the summer sun. $28 bottle, $11 glass

RED

2016 BURGUNDY
Our Barbera and Mourvedre classic fruity red blend. A traditional red Italian table wine, our ‘Burgundy’ has been produced at Bernardo Winery since before prohibition age and named after this prestigious French region simply out of Old-California winemaking tradition. $24 bottle, $10 glass

2019 GRENACHE **
San Diego County
Bright delicious fruit and structure makes this grenache a great everyday wine. To make this wine an early drinker we focused on a shorter extraction time to maximize fruit and mellow out the tannin. Notes of dark cherry candy and bright acid.
$24 bottle, $10 glass

2016 MERLOT
Robust Merlot reveals a deep purple color. Shows aromas of blackberry and spice with ripe, jam flavors of plum and black currant $26 bottle, $11 glass

2018 MALBEC
San Diego County
Focusing on making wines from San Diego that have that refreshing fruit forward character, medium-bold body and drinkability, we decided to run this Malbec through a shorter maceration at a colder temperature. Doing so brought out those subtle notes of oak and spice, but far more blackberry, black currant, and leather. $32 bottle, $13 glass

2018 SYRAH
San Diego County
Notes of dark fruit, fresh honey, toasted sweet oak and long concentrated tannin. Since our first vintage in 2006, the BW Syrah has been an example of classical San Diego terroir. $30 bottle, $12 glass
