贝灵哲酒庄(Beringer Winery)位于美国加州的纳帕谷产区内，其拥有纳帕谷最悠久的葡萄酒酿造历史。1868年，德国人雅各布.贝灵哲(Jacob Beringer)受加州的阳光和土壤特性吸引，放下在德国的酿酒事业远渡重洋至美国开始葡萄酒酿造事业。纳帕谷的排水能力强的土壤和德国莱茵河谷的很相似，而这里温暖的气候和常年晴朗的天气造就了很好的葡萄种植条件。
贝灵哲和其哥哥在1876年创建了酒庄，他们最初的酿酒目的是按照法国传统方式来酿造，以生产出媲美旧世界的美国葡萄酒，著名酒评家罗伯特.帕克(Robert.Parker)曾对贝灵哲如此评价：“在我的品酒生涯中曾尝过无数堪称世界顶级佳酿的葡萄酒，很多所谓的著名酒庄的实质表现令我非常失望，但在贝灵哲这里我找到了具备非凡品质和极具代表性的美国葡萄酒。
受欧洲的酿酒思想影响，贝灵哲非常尊重葡萄植株的风土环境(Terroir)，其认为无论是什么样的酿酒技术都不应离开对风土的尊重，每一瓶好葡萄酒应能很好的表达出其生长环境的特殊性和优越性。这种想法令贝灵哲不断在全加州收购多个优秀葡萄园，这里每一个葡萄园都对应着不同的系列，从最常见的Founder's Estate到Reserve系列，每一个系列都能找到其独自的葡萄园。时至今日，贝灵哲在全纳帕谷拥有的葡萄园多达14个，每一个都有着独特的风土环境，总面积达到100公顷以上。
常见作品：
作为加州最古老的酒庄之一，贝灵哲的着重通过平衡性和浓郁性表达其特点，其Private Reserve系列拥有雄壮的酒体，圆润的单宁和优雅的酸度，回味中香草、摩卡咖啡及黑莓口味若隐若现，感觉相当耐人寻味。
