Description
Our Historical Tour begins with a brief description of the history of Beringer and continues into the Old Winery and hand-dug aging tunnels with a talk about barrel aging and the art of wine-making. We finish with a tasting of three current release wines. Historical Tours are filled on a first-come, first-served basis; no advance reservations are necessary or taken.

Vintage Legacy Tour is a tribute to our founders, Frederick & Jacob Beringer, and a look at Beringer's past, present and future from vine to bottle. The tour begins with a discussion of how the Beringer Brothers' original 23 acre vineyard has evolved into a small but integral part of our Reserve wine program. Continuing into the Old Winery and aging tunnels, guests enjoy a barrel sample of cabernet sauvignon . The tour concludes with a tasting of current release Reserve wines at the Rhine House, home of Frederick Beringer. Limited to 12 persons. Reservations required.

Blush Wine & Food in Balance is a hands-on demonstration of wine & food pairing with an emphasis on blush wines. Guests will learn the effects of basic tastes on wines, and how they can balance their food & wine to their liking. Limited to 12 persons. Reservations recommended, but not required.
