It’s almost summer and the vines are
waking along with the wild flowers!!

The vines are awake and the wild flowers have bloomed along the roads making the drive to our place one of the state’s most scenic wild flower highways. Bring your snacks and sit and sip while enjoying the hilltop view! See our latest wine update below!

Thanks for your continued support. We are working hard to provide you with quality wines and a fun wine tasting experience in our warm environment! Jerry and Jerri

The Loft Bed & Breakfast at Bernhardt Winery
Well, after three and a half years, Jerri and I are happy to announce that we are finally ready to open our B&B! We have named it “The Loft” because it is truly a huge loft above the old winery, and secondly because Jerri and I are more afternoon, hors d’oeuvres, sunset wine-toasting folks and would prefer spending quality time with our guests at that time. » more info

On the Porch Concert Series | Sunday Evenings Mid-April thru Mid-November
2009 On-the-Porch Concert Series | Mid April thru Mid November
Jerri and I dreamed of a place where family and friends can meet and enjoy the beauty of nature and celebrate life. In support of our dream, we have created a Sunday evening sunset celebration we call On-the-Porch. Every Sunday evening beginning an hour before sunset, we have a lawn concert with great music for you to relax with your family and friends. At sunset, we stop the music and raise a toast to life and love! The winery is open for tasting and purchasing wine by the glass or bottle. Bring your lawn chairs and come relax with us. There is a $5.00 per adult cover charge for each of these events. We now have fine cheeses, deli crackers and sausages, along with jams and sauces for snacks. This year, we will have a food vendor on-hand for each of the concerts serving great meals! You are also welcome to bring an ice chest with your favorite snacks. Please note that per TABC, it is illegal for you to bring alcohol onto the property. This year we have a lineup of incredible talent along with a full stock of wonderful wines! We also have some very special events planned. Our concert series will continue thru the middle of November. See sidebar for the concert lineup and more info!

Eight local wineries located between Conroe and Brenham have formed the Texas Bluebonnet Wine Trail!! Check us out: texasbluebonnetwinetrail.com.
