Sonoma County Restaurant Week

A late-winter, countywide showcase now in its 17th year: from Petaluma to Cloverdale, more than a hundred restaurants put on three-course prix-fixe menus in the $30–60 range, making it the easiest week of the year to finally book the place you've been meaning to try. The 2026 edition leans hard into a 'Sonoma County Grown' theme spotlighting kitchens that source inside county lines — among them Stockhome, John Ash & Co. and Iron & Vine. No tickets, no passes; just reserve and go.

The appeal isn't just the value, it's the permission. For one late-February stretch the whole county's dining rooms move in sync, and a fixed menu takes the guesswork out of the splurge — no scanning for the market price, no second-guessing the bill. It's cover for the ambitious dinner and the low-key neighborhood one alike, whether you're finally trying a Santa Rosa tasting menu or driving out to a Geyserville roadhouse you'd never have a reason to book otherwise. Kitchens tend to lead with what they're proud of, so the three courses read like a curated argument for the place. Come hungry, and consider going twice.
