DINE LIKE THE LOCALS
These are the tables Sonoma keeps for itself — chosen not by who pays, but by an advisory board of the chefs, winemakers, and hospitality people who live and cook here. The votes are coming in now; the picks will go live as they land.
The three sample restaurants below are showcased first on the Editorial Card, then via a link, on their full-page features — a Michelin dining room, a poolside club, a historic Plaza institution — the same full editorial, with the people and the story behind it, that every business we feature can also earn. No pay-to-play, no tourist traps; just where wine country actually dines.
A vibrant poolside destination at the local, historic Flamingo Resort, Lazeaway Club blends Cal-Pacific flavors, craft cocktails, and lively mid-century energy into a dining experience that feels like an escape.
A Sonoma Plaza staple, Sonoma Cheese Factory blends artisanal cheeses, house-cured meats, charcuterie boards, and curated wine pairings with coffee and pastries into a lively, all-day experience.
SingleThread offers a farm-driven tasting menu shaped by its own estate farm in Dry Creek Valley, where the seasonal bounty guides its refined expression of Sonoma and Japanese precision.
