Join us on December 9th to celebrate Ben Pon on his birthday! While visiting Carmel Valley in the early 1980’s, Ben fell in love with the area and soon after purchased a residence. With his characteristic pioneer spirit he created Bernardus Winery and Vineyards. Ben then went on to develop Bernardus Lodge in 1999. In 2013 he sold the lodge which today still bears his name. Ben was known and loved throughout the Carmel Valley. Though he passed away in September of 2019, his legend continues.
