Michelin Restaurants
Our area is incredibly rich in food and drink. For restaurants we simply point you to the Michelin Guide, an underutilized resource for locating exceptional restaurants of various styles and price points (it of course trends to the higher end, but it’s not just the most elite and expensive). Once there, move the map ever so slightly to populate with all the results of the area, otherwise they will be truncated.
Wineries
There is an entire industry dedicated to providing you the best information on the wineries of our area. We are partial to Sonoma Magazine. You can start here. Many people spend their trip exploring the smaller wineries, although larger names are also worth a visit. See our events page for events like the Garagiste Festival Northern Exposure and others.
Breweries
No doubt inspired by our wineries’ success, our local brew scene is thriving. Try one of the big three: Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma, Russian River Brewing Co in Santa Rosa, or Bear Republic Brewing Co in Healdsburg. Explore some of the smaller breweries found here.
