No wine tour experience captures the full story of a bottle the way a visit to the estate where it was made can, and our wine tours in Monterey are built around exactly that access. Bernardus Winery sits at the heart of the Carmel Valley wine trail, offering guests the combination of estate tasting, single-vineyard exploration, and the history of more than three decades of winemaking that no off-site tour can replicate. Our luxury tours begin where the wines themselves begin: at the vineyard.
Explore the beauty and bounty of Monterey in every glass at our Carmel Valley tasting room.

Setting the Bernardus experience apart from a standard winery visit starts with access, and our wine tours take guests through the growing sites, winemaking philosophy, and estate history that define this portfolio. Our winery tours invite guests behind the label to meet the team, walk the estate, and understand the decisions that shape each vintage from vine to bottle. The depth and curation of our program begins with our winery, which has been the center of this wine region’s identity since Ben Pon opened the first tasting room here. Our premium wine tours go beyond the standard flight, incorporating guided tastings of single-vineyard expressions, pairings with artisan accompaniments, and direct conversation with members of the winemaking team. Guests who want to combine a tour with a dedicated sit-down tasting are encouraged to book a wine tasting alongside their visit. Each tour is led with the same attention to detail that defines our winemaking, ensuring no two visits feel routine or transactional.
Rooted in the growing sites that give our wines their character, our luxury vineyard tour takes guests to the named blocks where our single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc originate. Guests who join our wine events calendar often combine event attendance with a vineyard walkthrough for a fuller picture of the estate. Our wine tours at the estate level include access to Ingrid’s alongside context about partner vineyards, including Garys’, Rosella’s, Sierra Mar, and Griva that supply our most celebrated expressions. Our premium wine tours pair vineyard walkthroughs with guided tastings of the specific bottlings from each site, creating a direct sensory connection between place and glass. Our winery tours also incorporate the estate’s history, from Ben Pon’s founding vision to the current team’s approach to each growing season.
Planning your visit begins with a clear picture of what you want from the experience, and our wine tours offer options for every level of depth and immersion. Our luxury vineyard tour format suits guests who want to understand the growing sites at the same depth as the wines they produce.
