Bernardus Lodge

With such delightful bounties around, it is no surprise that the culinary clout of Bernardus Lodge is nothing short of extraordinary. The resort's signature restaurant, Marinus, is one of the region's most celebrated venues, and holds Forbes four-star status in addition to numerous other food and wine honors. For a more casual meal, Wickets offers a European bistro-style atmosphere, indoors or out. Certainly one of the main attractions, Bernardus Winery offers tastings of its carefully crafted products, including a Bordeaux-style red, as well as complimentary varieties raised by the region's coastal climate. The Spa at Bernardus is yet another indulgence in which to take part, with steam rooms and warming pools to supplement the menu of distinctive treatments and massages. Tennis courts, a fitness center, croquet and bocce ball, and a shimmering outdoor pool complete the on-site facilities, while the options off-site and nearby are virtually endless. From championship golf to wine tours and tastings, art galleries and shopping to the natural wonderments of Monterey Bay, you will find the destination, like Bernardus Lodge itself, to be truly unforgettable.
