Gironde, Gironde - France
Red wine available

The winery

Family owned estate for 8 generations, we are working through the principles of organic farming. It will only take you 5 minutes from the medieval village of Saint Emilion to come to Chateau Bernateau, driving on a beautiful road along Crus Classés Chateaux and handsome terroirs, in a landscape classified as a World Heritage site by Unesco. Come to a customized tour at which you will learn the secrets of the wine making process, from the growing of vine (in organic farming) to the vinification, the ageing and the bottling. At the end of the tour, you will taste several vintages of two of our Saint Emilion Grands Crus wines. We are open every day of the year by appointment.

  • Como en casa

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 01/25/2026

    Nos hemos sentido muy bien acogidos en la visita. La posibilidad de haberlo hecho en español ha sido lo que nos ha impulsado a ir a esta bodega que desconocíamos. Ha sido un gran descubrimiento y con una visita muy completa. Muy recomendable, bodega familiar de producción ecológica. Los 3 vinos incluidos en la visita muy buenos.

  • Visita + cata

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 01/02/2026

    La noia que ens ha fet la visita guiada, ho ha fet bé, però penso que l'explicació podria ser més extensa.

  • Todo muy correcto

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 12/09/2025

    La visita nos pareció muy interesante, se notaba que eran los dueños, la mujer nos explicó todo perfectamente, merece la pena. La degustación muy bien

  • Correcto

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 12/07/2025

    Gran visita, acompañados por una joven muy simpática y natural. Disfrutamos ya que es una bodega pequeña y familiar. Buenos vinos,??

  • Great tour in Spanish

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 11/15/2025

    It's not easy to find tours in Spanish, and this was perfect!

  • Fenomenal

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 11/15/2025

    El entorno es precioso….te reciben con mucha amabilidad y la persona que nos atendió (entorno Español) encantadora…. Muy recomendable !!!

  • Une très belle expérience !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 11/11/2025

    Une très belle visite du château familial et surtout une très belle découverte! Le propriétaire nous fait partager son métier et surtout avec passion ajoutée aux explications plus que claires sur son métier. De plus, les conseils apportés pour la dégustation des différents vins sont plus qu’intéressantes par rapport aux idées reçues que nous pouvons avoir. Nous avons passé un très bon moment et merci à vous .

  • Visite automnale

    by for Family visit (Tour and tasting) on 11/01/2025

    Super visite, très intéressante. La guide etait tres compétente pour les adultes comme pour les enfants ! La dégustation etait aussi très complète pour les adultes. Seul questionnement, le prix plus élevé pour les enfants qui n'ont rien eu de particulier en plus par rapport aux adultes... (possibilité de déguster plusieurs jus de raisins ?)

  • A wonderful tasting!

    by for Guided tasting (Tasting) on 10/18/2025

    We had a wonderful and informative tasting on the lovely grounds of Château Bernateau! It was one of our favourite wines in Bordeaux and we would highly recommend spending your afternoon here! It was very easy to get to Château Bernateau from the village and such a beautfiul and scenic drive there. Definitely put Château Bernateau on your list!

  • A wonderful experience

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 10/17/2025

    THIS is the place for your tour and wine tasting! It's just that simple. Chateau Bernateau winery has been in the same family for 11 generations (!) Our tour was conducted by the current owner/manager's wife. We got a very informative introduction to wines in and around St. Emilion, went out to the vineyard where we learned about the grapes and their required care, and then had a tasting in the chateau's lovely gardens. We sampled three different red wines - a Merlot, a Cabernet Franc, and finally, a rich, complex blend. Our hostess allowed us to take our time, but she was also on hand to answer questions and offer insights. There was absolutely no pressure to buy, but we happily purchased six bottles, at a major discount compared to their cost in the US, where we live. We highly recommend this beautiful Chateau and its special wines. If we're in the area again, we will return to Chateau Bernateau with pleasure.

  • Une expérience riche et passionnante

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 10/14/2025

    Château viticole très beau et accueillant par la gérante du domaine, explications et discours très pertinent avec un vocabulaire accessible et clair pour des néophytes. Les vins sont très qualitatifs avec des prix tout à fait raisonnables. En tant que Bourguignon, nous ne pourrons plus me reprocher d’être chauvin car oui, j’ai du Bordeaux dans ma cave grâce à ce domaine! Je recommande. ?? William

  • The chateau is beautiful and the wine in great. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

  • Très bon vin

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 10/11/2025

    Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la visite guidé, les explications sont nombreuses et le vin délicieux. J'ai bien aimé la dégustation du vin dans le jardin, un moment agréable et relaxant

  • Wine tasting

    by for Guided tasting (Tasting) on 10/09/2025

    A lot of hype about this winery so was looking fwd to a visit. Found the young lass very welcoming and keen to help. However 3 of the 4 wines tasted I believe were not opened recently and had gone past their use by date - were not holding up or had not been re-sealed correctly overnight. Prices were very competitive, but hard to tell if good value as I am hoping the tasting was not indicative of the actual wine quality. They have a long pedigree and a good reputation so hoping it is normally better than we experienced

  • Tasting Chateau Bernature

    by for Guided tasting (Tasting) on 10/05/2025

    The owner did a great job of explaining the Bordeaux area, how the different soils impact the wine tannins, aging process, and the wines we tasted. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the vineyard and the wines we tasted.

  • Certains points à améliorer

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 08/15/2025

    Nous avons visité pendant la canicule de mi-août. Il y avait plusieurs groupes en même temps, parfois jusqu’à trois dans la même salle. Deux guides faisaient attention au volume et parlaient à voix basse, mais une guide plus expérimentée étaient beaucoup moins discrète, du coup, nous n’entendions presque plus notre guide.

  • Au top !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 07/12/2025

    Tout était parfait, ! L’endroit, les explications, le vin… un vrai moment de plaisir !

  • Perfecte,presentació detallada i demostrant el valor que tenen la vinya i el vi respectant la natura

  • Enjoyable and informative

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 09/23/2025

  • Estupenda experiencia

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 10/03/2025

  • Nous recommandons vivement cette visite !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 07/09/2025

    Notre expérience à été très réussie. Visite bien documentée et intéressante. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la dégustation.

  • Very pleased with the wines we purchased and with the overall visit !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 07/14/2025

    We had a wonderful time visiting Château Bernateau. A family member of the owner was incredibly welcoming and provided a warm, detailed explanation of their organic wine production. The atmosphere was very friendly, and we truly enjoyed the wine tasting experience.

  • It was a fabulous experience !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 06/15/2025

    It was a marvellous visit, and our guide, whose name I completely forget, she was at University doing her Tourism degree was amazing. One of our group was very knowledgeable about wine, and she handled it excellently, and they sort of tag-teamed our questions about the wine process. We had a lovely tasting on the lawn, it was an exceptional visit from start to finish. Even my hopeless 19 year old son enjoyed it.

  • Una experiencia muy recomendable

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 09/16/2025

  • Très bonne visite

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 09/15/2025

  • Excellent moment !

    by for From vine to cellar (Tour and tasting) on 08/06/2025

  • Such a pretty winery !

    by for Guided tasting (Tasting) on 06/13/2025

    We had a lovely visit and tasting at Chateau Bernateau. The staff were very nice and welcoming and the setting in their outdoor garden was beautiful. And the wines were excellent as well. Hope to return sometime soon.
