The Spinster Sisters
A great spot for a farm-to-table dinner in Santa Rosa's cute SOFA neighborhood. We love Spinster Sisters!
Hang Ah Dim Sum
The Santa Rosa location of a great San Francisco dim sum restaurant! If you think you're about to drive through an A&W, you're in the right spot.
Sonoma Pizza Co.
If you're willing to make the trek to Forestville, Sonoma Pizza Co. serves unexpected pizza toppings in West County!
Screamin' Mimi's
Everyone in Sonoma County loves Screamin' Mimi's ice cream. Get out to Sebastopol and try one of their many locally-made ice creams (or an ice cream pie if you're hungry)!
The Barlow
The Barlow is an open-air mall in Sebastopol with local eats, boutiques, and wine bars! We highly recommend checking out the wine wall at Region (yes, a wall of wine with tasting pours) and grabbing a bite at Fern Bar.
Golden Bear Station
If you're looking to splurge on a high-end wine country dinner, treat yourself to this incredible spot amidst the grapes in Kenwood. Grab a reservation, and say hi to Josh and Heidi from the Burches (we may know their sign guy)!
Table Culture Provisions
This newer restaurant serving a tasting menu in Petaluma is another great splurge! We recommend the wine pairing, if for no other reason than to chat with their hilarious sommelier.
Overshine Wine Co.
We're wine club members here! A low key spot spinning vinyl all day.
Americana
If you have a problem with hollandaise sauce, Americana might change your mind. Honorable mention to the crispiest hash brown in Santa Rosa.
Underwood Bar and Bistro
Underwood serves the best dirty martini in Sonoma County alongside an intriguing menu of California cuisine and Thai classics!
Martha Stoumen Wines
Lovely natural wines! This tasting room opened in October 2025, but we discovered Martha’s wines at Stanley’s in Culver City.
Glen Ellen Star
Michelin star eats with actual human-sized portions!
Marla SR Bakery and Cafe
A great breakfast spot with fresh pastries and a well-rounded menu featuring local ingredients!
Russian River Brewing Company
If you're wanting to try Russian River Brewery, check out the Windsor location. Much more room and a great food menu (we recommend the wings).
HenHouse Brewing Company
This is Buddy's favorite brewery in Sonoma County. Taste the oyster stout.
Brew Coffee and Beer House
This local queer hub offers great coffee, breakfast, lunch, and happy hour!
Bottle Barn
If you fly out of STS, Alaska Airlines will allow you to bring up to one case of properly packaged wine (checked) free of charge. Stop by Bottle Barn to pick up some local favorites and learn a thing or two from the extremely knowledgeable staff. They, and most wineries in the area, will know how to set you up with the correct packaging for flights out of STS.
