Get ready to be enchanted at our annual Winter Solstice Luminary Festival—a magical evening of holiday cheer, community, and celebration.
Join us for a festive winter gathering filled with warmth, wonder, and “jingle and mingle” vibes. Sip award-winning Bernhardt wines, spiced mulled wine, and wine tastings, or enjoy a selection of craft beers. The evening will feature festive live music filled with timeless Christmas Jazz, Blues, Rock, and holiday favorites.
Bring the whole family and delight in festive activities, including vineyard hayrides, a holiday cookie bar, S’mores, and hot chocolate by the fire.
As the sun sets, experience the breathtaking sight of over 1,000 glowing luminaries illuminating our vineyard and estate. Guests are invited to take part in the annual luminary lighting ceremony, a cherished Bernhardt Winery tradition that marks the start of the holiday season.
And don’t forget to stop by and visit Santa and Mrs. Claus for heartwarming photo opportunities and family fun.
