Sunshine, wine, and fresh air! Sonoma Valley does outdoor dining right. Whether you're planning a relaxed picnic or looking for the perfect patio dinner, here are a few favorites, from Kenwood to the Sonoma Plaza.
The Perfect Picnic
Sonoma Valley was made for lingering lunches and spontaneous picnics. Start with the Sonoma Plaza, where you can relax under the trees, enjoy a bottle of wine (yes, it's allowed), and take in the charm of downtown. Pick up your picnic essentials from local favorites like Sonoma Market, The Butcherman, Basque Boulangerie, or Sonoma’s Best. You’ll find everything from artisan sandwiches to seasonal salads and pastries.
If you're craving a scenic escape, head to Bartholomew Park for vineyard views and walking trails, or plan a peaceful afternoon under the oaks at Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen. Both offer beautiful backdrops for enjoying great food, and fresh air.
Alfresco Dining, Wine Country Style
In Sonoma Valley, outdoor dining is part of everyday life. In Kenwood, enjoy California cuisine and wine pairings at Salt & Stone, or gather with friends for casual comfort food and local brews at Palooza Brewery.
Charming Glen Ellen is home to inviting garden patios and seasonal menus at the Glen Ellen Star, and Les Pascals Patisserie, where everything feels thoughtfully prepared and perfectly placed.
In the heart of Sonoma, the Plaza is lined with outdoor tables just waiting for you. Savor brunch at Sunflower Caffé, relax with a cocktail and French-inspired fare at The Girl & the Fig, or enjoy an elegant dinner at Valley Bar + Bottle, Enclos, or LaSalette. All offering a uniquely local dining experience in beautiful open-air settings.
