Bernardo Winery Review

A trip to the oldest operating winery in Southern California, founded in 1889 and run by the Rizzo family since 1928, feels like traveling back to early California days; some of the vines on the former Spanish land-grant property have been producing grapes for more than a hundred years. Most of the grapes now come from other wine-growing regions. Cafe Merlot serves lunch daily except Monday, and shops sell cold-pressed olive oil and other gourmet goodies, as well as apparel, home-decor items, and arts and crafts. A glassblowing artist is often working at the outdoor furnace.
