By the Glass or a Wine Flight

We are proud to offer a selection of exceptional wines, including four single-vineyard Chardonnays and five Pinot Noirs from renowned growers Gary Franscioni and Gary Pisoni in the Santa Lucia Highlands, as well as our Ingrid’s Estate in Carmel Valley, an Estate Bordeaux blend from Marinus Vineyard, and Arroyo Seco Sauvignon Blanc from the Griva Vineyard.

Indulge in the elegance of our wines by the glass, or elevate your tasting experience with our curated wine flight. For just $30, savor four exquisite two-ounce pours of our single-vineyard and reserve Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Enhance your journey with our delightful cheese and charcuterie offerings. Your refined palate deserves nothing less!

Wine and Food Pairing

This experience includes a curated wine tasting of everything Bernardus has to offer.  We personally curate our wine offering while pairing them specifically with selected cheeses, meats and accompaniments.  Our intention is to open your imagination to the world of wine and food.

"We are not just talking about food and wine.... We are talking about old world and new world culture, the history of wine and food, how we preserve and remember old world tradition and flavors with the berth of new world wine."- Wine Educator, Stephen Giffith

Cost is $150.00 plus 20% gratuity per person.  We ask for a maximum of 6 guests.  Tastings can begin between 11:00 and 2:00 between Tuesday and Saturday.
