Food and Wine

Our favorite Local debate: Which is better? We can never decide they're both so "over the top award winning". So why don't you tell us what you think after your visit to our wine country?

Options for eating and drinking fill the horn of plenty Santa Rosan's know as "California Cornucopia."

Wine Country Cuisine is a delightful term for the talented pairing of Sonoma County's abundant fresh foods with the world's finest wines. The many chefs that create the Wine Country's unique flavors are drawn to the area because of its rich history in agriculture, and the diversity of foods readily available from local growers, each with their own signature for freshness and flavor.

Restaurants in the Wine Country take advantage of the region's growing number of award-winning winemakers and the wealth of varietals they offer. Wine pairings are plentiful and many of the area's visitors enjoy "Winemaker Dinners" that can be found at some of the region's finest dining places.
Our popular dining spots cater to more than just the wine lover. Santa Rosa offers a good selection of award-winning breweries, offering authentic brews from pale ales, to porters, and more. Diners enjoy the local catch made to order in an authentic batch of fish & chips, or an exceptional burger or sandwich. The options are just as abundant and delicious for vegetarians who come to enjoy the taste of Santa Rosa and the surrounding Wine Country.
