Things to Do in Sonoma

A short, opinionated list of our favorite ways to spend a Sonoma afternoon. Make a long weekend of it.

Wineries & Tastings

Biodynamic estate just down the road from the venue. Take the tractor tour through the vines.

Hacienda-style tasting on a hilltop overlooking Sonoma. Reservations strongly recommended.

Pinot and Chardonnay in an 1842 adobe on the Sonoma Plaza.

California's oldest family-owned winery. Walk up to the redwood deck for the view.

Outdoors

Easy oak-shaded trails and the ruins of Wolf House — a five-minute drive from the estate.

Three miles round trip with a view of the whole valley at the top.

For the early risers — clear mornings reach all the way to the Sierra.

Eat & Drink

Provençal classics on the Sonoma Plaza. Sit on the patio.

Wood-fired everything. Get the blistered farm vegetables.

Heirloom-corn tortillas, walk-up window. Lunch only.

Tiny, beloved, ten tables. Book ahead.

Slow Afternoons

The largest plaza in California — wander, browse the shops, find an ice cream.

Garden installations, tasting rooms, and a very good general store.

Walk-in massages and a small pool. Perfect for the morning after.
