No place beats California for food and ambiance, and when you visit California, no place beats Bernardus Lodge.

Tucked into Carmel Valley, Bernardus Lodge was once the location of a hunting lodge frequented by movie stars in the '30s. Amid the rustic settings, the ultra-modern accommodations offer the finest amenities. The spa features everything from massages to bridal services. Renowned chef Cal Stamenov prepares a culinary delight with herbs and vegetables indigenous to Carmel Valley.

The Bernardus vineyards and winery provide the lodge with excellent wines for the distinguished palate. Guests are greeted upon their arrival with a complimentary glass of Bernardus' finest.

An excellent place for a romantic getaway, Bernardus Lodge offers 57 rooms, each with a stone fireplace and feather bed. For more information, visit www.bernardus.com, or call 888-648-9463.
