Things To Do
Sonoma Plaza
Cute shops! Yummy food! Pretty park! Enjoy!
El Molino Central
This place is amazing - make sure to get the Chicken Mole Tamales - they are INSANE
Valley
Cool spot with yummy food, we went here when checking out wedding venues! On the Sonoma Plaza - great outdoor space in the back for food, WINE, and giggles!
Scribe Winery
Love this place so much! Great environment, yummy wine, totally delicious cheese plate...but mostly YUMMY WINE. A must-check out place! However, you need a reservation to go there...so if you want to go make one 4 weeks before getting there (roughly...if not earlier!)
Glen Ellen Star
Our FAVORITE place to eat when in Sonoma. Literally EVERYTHING is good on the menu, but the tomato cream pie is a MUST...ABSOLUTELY MUST order :). Recommend getting a reservation 2-3 weeks in advance of arrival!
Kivelstadt Cellars Winegarten
We are fully obsessed with this wine!! We get it shipped to Brooklyn!! They now have a cute backyard wine garden where you can get snacks, food, beer and wine. Their rose wine is so refreshing and incredibly delicious. Great for groups! Call to get a reservation, but one may not be needed! I believe they stop serving food at 4pm...recommend going around lunch time!
Cline Family Cellars
Gorgeous outdoor wine tasting area!! Really really pretty :)
Jack’s Filling Station
This awesome gas station and general store-esq spot is close to The Lodge and MacArthur Place hotels. You can get cool vintage stuff here, natural wines, beer, candy, sunscreen, water, coconut water, literally everything!! Plus, they have really cool merch if you want to take home a fun hat, shirt or sweatshirt. OH and if you have a record player they have records too!! WAY COOL
Kenwood Inn & Spa
Pretty hotel! Want some extra self-care? Check out their spa!
El Dorado Kitchen
A part of the El Dorado Hotel, this restaurant is beautiful and truly delicious. Cuisine is Californian and it doesn't disappoint! If you like crab, they have some great crab dishes.
Oakville Grocery
A drive from Sonoma, but a super cute & delicious deli-like place in St. Helena. If you are checking out Napa, St. Helena and/or Yountville - drive up the road to get a sandwich, cheese, or snacks from this iconic spot!
Yountville
SUCH a cute little town! Great to walk or bike through! Tons of adorable restaurants! Plus, you can walk through The French Laundry's produce garden (so cool!)
Bouchon Bakery
BOUCHON!! The best bakery...EVERYTHING from savory to sweet is crazy, mouth-watering, let me spend a trillion $$$ on treats GOOD.
Chandon
WINE NOT!? Check out Moet Chandon's Napa spot! Beautiful grounds, lots of places to sit & sip - just a fun experience! Good for big groups.
Lagunitas Brewing Company
So over wine? Just need to crack a cold one? Take a little drive over to neighboring Petaluma for some killer IPAs with the fam & broskis!
Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
First, this place is just Architectural Digest stunning. Second, the food is super fresh & tasty (farm to table at it's finest). Third, their margaritas are frothy, icy, flavorful, and refreshing. Fourth, the ambience is one of a kind. You will need a reservation to eat here and we recommend going to dinner time to see the stars and the beautiful little twinkle lights. Good for small and big groups.
Layla at MacArthur Place
The restaurant at the MacArthur Place hotel. Beautiful, big outdoor patio and soothing indoor seating. Healthy, yummy menu (think Californian, farm-to-table foods). Recommend going for lunch!
Opus One Winery
Garland's favorite wine; VERY good wine, cool environment & building; make a reservation before you go!
