Getting to the Winery
Bernardo Winery
13330 Paseo del Verano Norte, San Diego, CA 92128
Our celebration takes place at Bernardo Winery in Rancho Bernardo, a historic vineyard in the foothills of North County San Diego, about 30 minutes north of downtown.
By Car
Free parking is available on-site. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to park and find your seat. And of course, if you’re enjoying the wine, please use a rideshare or designated driver to get home safely.
By Air
San Diego International Airport (SAN)
This is by far the easiest option. The winery is about 30 miles from the airport, roughly a 35–45 minute drive depending on traffic. Rental cars, Uber, and Lyft are all readily available.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
If you’re flying into LAX, plan for a longer journey. The winery is about 115 miles south, and the drive can take anywhere from 2 to 3+ hours with Los Angeles traffic (the + here is doing a lot of work). If you choose LAX, we suggest arriving the day before the wedding.
By Train
Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner runs along the coast, and two stations are closest to the winery:
San Diego (Santa Fe Depot): Downtown San Diego, about a 35–40 minute drive to the winery
Oceanside Transit Center: North County, about a 35–40 minute drive to the winery
