The air here is breezy and elegant in an easy, effortless way. Denizens of this posh spot follow suit — people here know how to live but also how to gaze at that Sonoma moon and feel a deep sense of gratitude.

You will often find residents of Sonoma Valley soaking up the cultural scene, tasting the season’s most exciting varietals, or sharing a meal by candlelight at one of the area’s top bistros.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping 

 
Sonoma Valley and haute cuisine are inextricably linked. With a coveted climate and agricultural excellence at their fingertips, chefs have carte blanche to create the stuff of epicurean dreams. The Girl and the Fig is one such example. This darling bistro deftly handles the nuanced flavors of French country cuisine with aplomb, and locals have been singing its praises for 25 years. 

Dining at El Dorado Kitchen is a favorite local pastime. The stone courtyard takes alfresco dining to new heights, while the fireplace-adorned lounge is a cozy spot for cocktails. Built in the 1870s, The Swiss Hotel provides guests with a glimpse of historic Sonoma Valley. Terraces and wood-beamed ceilings evoke old-world charm, and the menu perfectly fuses Italian and New American cuisine. Groceries have been a high-end experience at Sonoma Market, a town institution, for over 50 years. Here you will find artisan cheese, local wine, and farm-to-market ingredients supplied by the bounty of Sonoma Valley’s local farms.    
 

Things to Do

 
Of all the things to do in Sonoma Valley, the most obvious choice is also a dynamite one. Wine tasting is a must here, and Corner 103 is a lovely place to start. In fact, this sophisticated spot was named the top wine-tasting room in the country and proved its reputation with every sip.  

The stately entrance to the Sonoma Plaza is as iconic as the town itself and marks the site of the community’s most beloved events. Here you can find both an old-fashioned Fourth of July picnic and the glittering Sonoma International Film Festival, not to mention architectural beauty. Sonoma Mission Inn is just the place for an indulgent spa treatment, a weekend getaway, or a round at the prestigious Sonoma Golf Club.
