Top Restaurants

Many locals and visitors alike consider the Wine Country experience to be as much about food as it is about wine. The happy convergence of climate and geography that makes the Wine Country perfect for cultivating world-class wine grapes also bless it with quality produce, herbs, dairy products, meats, poultry, and fish, and other chefs’ essentials. It is no wonder that the Wine Country is home to some of the world’s most talented and innovative chefs.

Below is a listing of the top restaurants in Sonoma Valley and nearby communities. We encourage you always to make reservations for dinner, especially during peak tourism seasons. Many restaurants also accept reservations for their other meal services. Even when reservations are not required or accepted, it is always a good idea to call ahead to confirm availability.
