Things To Do
Sonoma Plaza
Downtown Sonoma is beautiful, lively, and has so much to offer. It is packed full of shops, restaurants, wine, parks, and sweets! Walk around and check it out!
Vine Alley
A picturesque hidden alley of tasting rooms and shops in downtown Sonoma.
Crocker & Starr Wines
One of our absolute favorite wineries. The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating and they host lovely private tastings. This is some of Jarod's favorite wine (the critics love it too). The Adirondack chairs facing the vineyard are a great place to take in the wines and vines after a tour. The Cabernet Franc is a stand out, and honestly, so is everything else they make. They are on the Napa side of the valley not far from downtown St Helena.
Figone's Olive Oil
An olive oil and vinegar tasting room downtown. They make everything in California!
The Girl And The Fig
A great local and well-known restaurant in downtown Sonoma.
Williams-Sonoma
This is the one, the original Williams-Sonoma location that started the national chain! It used to be a hardware store and the original owner was also the owner of that store before he started the iconic brand. Check it out, it is pretty cool.
Glen Ellen Star
One of our favorite restaurants in the area.
Bodega Bay
A great place to explore with some beautiful coastline views as well as some amazing road bike routes and tasty bites to eat (if you like seafood, there are some great options and Hog Island Oyster Company is just a short trek down US 1 in Marshall too). You might even find me road biking around up here during the week (let me know if you want to join!).
Darling Wines
If big, heavy, hangover-inducing wines aren't your jam try checking out this awesome boutique producer in Sonoma. Their tasting space is just a quick hop down the street from our venue. This husband and wife team are adept in crafting terroir-driven, flavorful wines that don't have to punch above 14% abv. A very difficult thing to find in today's marketplace. They also credit the farmers that help pick their crop each year on every bottle by name!
Auteur Wines
A wine tasting room that is conveniently nearby downtown.
Wild Flour Bread
One of the best bakeries in California (perhaps the world)
Boon Fly Café
A great breakfast stop.
Russian River Brewing Company
If beer is more your thing, visit one of the breweries that sparked both the current craft beer as well as american sour beer movement.
Peju Winery
A great winery to stop at on the Napa side.
Lasseter Family Winery

Hartford Family Winery
Great Pinots and they have a downtown Healdsburg tasting room. Healdsburg is a great place to explore if you get tired of Sonoma!
Hourglass Winery
A great winery with a cave tour. Appointment Only. This winery suffered heavy fire damage during the Glass fire of 2020 and is currently hosting their tastings at nearby wineries.
Vincent Arroyo Winery (appointment only)

Miminashi
This restaurant has permanently closed, a casualty of the pandemic. We are very sad. An amazing Asian restaurant in downtown Napa. This was Sabrina's favorite place to eat.
