Open daily 10AM - 5PM, closed Tuesday Wine tasting at our unique Redwood Bar in the historic tasting room If you're looking for one of the most unique tasting experiences in the Santa Cruz Mountains, take a trip to the coastal Redwood community of Bonny Doon where our 65 acres of Estate vines, our historic tasting room and beautiful winery grounds await. Sample small batch, handcrafted Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon (and many more) while enjoying the rich history and fun atmosphere of our rustic tasting room. Picnic under the Redwood trees and among the lush lawns bordered by the babbling mountain creek. Our family friendly facility is a perfect getaway for all occasions.
“We arrived early on a Saturday morning - from what we heard, this was a good way to avoid the rush and larger parties. We were greeted immediately by Patricia with a warm welcome and a brief history of the multiple vineyards and the family. We were also excited to hear that there were oysters being served out on the deck. This is a gem of a spot. The rustic tasting room with maps of the surrounding areas, history of the family, history of Bonny Doon and all of this set in the foothills amongst the redwoods. I would highly recommend making this a stop along your travels or taking an extra day to explore Beauregard Vineyards and the beautiful woods and coast. Now to the reason why we really stopped in - VINO. We had their tasting flight which was perfect for someone who is unfamiliar with their production. All of the wines we tasted were well structured, balanced and exciting. Their effervescent Pinot Noir won, with the sun and oysters to pair making it the perfect mid day sipper. Right behind and equally as tasty is their unoaked Chardonnay and Syrah-Grenache were easily added to our list of favorites. Stop by and check it out for yourself.”
“Patricia was absolutely fantastic! She made our wine tasting experience feel both elevated and effortless. Her knowledge was impressive, but what really stood out was how approachable and engaging she was. She took the time to walk us through each selection, shared great insights, and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. You can tell she truly loves what she does — it made the entire experience memorable. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend asking for Patricia! 🍷✨”
“I came to taste at Beauregard with my parents in mid-December. We walked in, no reservation needed, and loved all the wines we tasted and hearing about the fascinating and diverse history of the tasting room and winery space from Patricia, from its life as a biker bar in the 50s-80s to its former ownership by Randall Grahm to its current family-owned status. Wish we had brought a picnic to enjoy outdoors underneath the ferns and redwoods, so gorgeous and the smell of the woods is heaven!”
“We had a fabulous time at Beauregard. Delicious Pinot noir and beautiful property. We enjoyed the serenity among the redwoods. The tasting lead was also really knowledgeable and friendly”
“We visited on a weekday on whim for a quick wine tasting. We loved this place! Every single wine we tasted was delicious! Our favorite was Meritage and Chardonnay. Patricia, our host, was exceptional. She took time to explain every single wine in detail, gave us good pour and was just a delight to speak to. We will definitely visit again and also recommend to our friends!”
