Join Bernardus Winery in marking prime time for the annual grape harvest in the heart of Carmel Valley wine country. Harvesting grapes is the first step towards the finished bottle and is the busiest time of year. The afternoon will pay homage to the season with grape stomping and wine tasting as you enjoy live music, fresh Pacific Gold Oysters from Morro Bay and a family-style barbecue lunch. We invite you to witness our harvest firsthand and celebrate the culmination of a year’s worth of work, care and expertise. Winemaker Dean DeKorth and Vineyard Manager Matt Shea co-host this afternoon exclusively in Ingrid’s Vineyard.
