Restaurants near Glen Ellen

“The food was absolutely amazing. Service was great too”

“Loxton is one of our favorite wineries and we love visiting when we’re in the area. They’ve been able to maintain a special relaxed and peaceful environment the focuses on good wine, sustainable practices, and great company. Chris Loxton is always approachable and has many wonderful stories and perspective on the land to share. Nancy was also fantastic this past visit and clearly shares the excitement for the vineyard and wine. We can’t wait to be back!”

“Laurel Glen is something truly special.

We visited as part of a small, education-focused tasting group, and the experience exceeded even our very high expectations. The wines are precise, thoughtful, and deeply expressive of place — exactly what you hope for from Sonoma Mountain.

We were welcomed with incredible warmth and hospitality by Bettina, whose presence and perspective made the visit unforgettable. She has a rare ability to communicate both the philosophy and the feeling behind the wines, which added so much depth to the experience.

The tasting itself was beautifully curated — from elegant bubbles, to a vibrant Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, and ultimately to the Cabernet Sauvignons, which were the clear stars. These are not just powerful wines — they are structured, balanced, and distinctly mountain-driven, with a sense of restraint and identity that you simply don’t find everywhere. You can truly taste the elevation, the site, and the intention behind every decision.

This is a place for people who care about wine — not just drinking it, but understanding it.

Highly, highly recommended.”

“Excellent resturant would recommend highly and will be back again.”

“A gorgeous, pastoral setting- freshly made pizza and a glass of Little Vineyard’s Band Blend red- what more could you ask for? Such a fun day! Such a friendly, unpretentious winery ! All ages represented - I looove that! The owners mixed and mingled with everyone- a super fun day for ALL!”

“One of the best boulangeries outside of France!”

“Saying that Flour and Bloom “made” our cake is about as understated as saying Michelangelo “made” the David. Working with Ora Beth was everything. About a month before the wedding, she hosted us in their tasting room, where we enjoyed one delectable bite after another. Ora Beth conducted the tasting much like the hosts at all the surrounding wineries, telling us about the contents and flavors of each sample. As delicious as the tasting was, it could not have prepared us for how magnificent the wedding cake would be. Flour and Bloom delivered the cake to the venue and set it up for a nominal charge given the stress associated with that endeavor. Only the bride shined brighter than the cake in the eyes of our guests, and each piece led to exclamations of “oohs” and “ahhs” from everyone. If you are thinking about who to hire for your wedding, stop! Hire Flour and Bloom and move to the next thing on your list.”

“Wine was absolutely good rich on flavor.everyone was very nice and I love their patio”

“Passaggio provided an absolutely perfect first-time wine tasting experience! As novices in the wine world, we appreciated the incredibly friendly staff, who also offered generous samples and made us feel totally comfortable.
​The ambiance is wonderful, we sat inside on a Saturday and enjoyed a fantastic live music couple with great songs and beautiful voices.
​It was a really relaxed and memorable afternoon. We'll definitely be back!”

“great food. great friendly service and lovely patio seating🥰 would highly recommend”

“Tanya was kind and knowledgeable. She had to break the news that the port is no longer in production, which was heartbreaking. Yearly, that was our takeaway purchase. Imagery was the first winery that my husband and I both enjoyed and agreed on our selections. Shot out to Tanya and thank you for easing out sadness with Code Blue and all our treats! ?”

“Our group enjoyed the biodynamic tractor ride. Darryl was our driver/ host and he was so knowledgeable, he made it very entertaining. We throughly enjoyed every wine in the tasting. Out of our trip including 6 wineries we all picked Benziger the best for presentation, experience, and tasting. We will definitely be back!”

“Inside or on the back deck next to a babbling brook where Jack London must have fished! Also plenty of Jack London & Charmaine photos.
Good isn’t fancy but fine.Worth a try! Jack was anSonoma icon.
Good to Reader’s Books on East Spain St, they have PLENTY of Jack!”

“Love their food. It always smells so good when we walk in. The patio is very nice and the staff is amazing. You’ll love it!”

“What a beautiful setting BR Cohn Winery is placed in. It's so peaceful, beautiful hills around, and lots of trees. This art exhibit event was wonderful with lots of appetizers and excellent wine choices. My friend and I had the Cab and it was perfect! The wine was full bodied and paired well with the food. The only con is we would have loved some music outside in the background to enjoy. I should say their was some music playing in one of the rooms with art and we did enjoy that.Thank you such a wonderful experience. 😊”

“Excellent overall experience with food and locals. The Boar rugo and chicken were excellent. The deserts superb!! Overall a good
value. The noise level was moderate so one could easily talk.”

“Probably the best michelin starred restauarnt ive ever been to and ive done quite a bit around the globe.
First of all, the reserve wine pairing is 1000% worth it. Please just get it. My mind was blown to smithereens and the level of genius they reached here.
The food was the best tasting AND most unique i have ever had. If i wasn't dining with someone else i would've cried, and i think i did tear up at some point.
I wish i had the words to describe exactly how perfect this restaurant experience was in every single way, i cannot do it justice right now, but hopefully you could just take my word for it and see (and taste) for yourself.
Thank you Enclos for utter perfection through and through. Absolutely no notes except for sheer praise.

I took photos of everything but trying to limit myself so that you can have your own experience 🤣 everything was so so beautiful”

“Great food and our server was wonderful”

“Exquisitos bocadillos.y atención de primera.”

“The falafel wrap was absolutely delicious.🤤”

“Excellent food, atmosphere and great place to eat before wine tasting! ❤️”

“La Salette is definitely one of my favorite places in Sonoma. Just few steps off the plaza, with a nice outdoor setting, the food is quite unique there and with great quality ingredients. The wine list is pretty good too and features many local wineries, the staff is very friendly, try it, can't go wrong.”

“The yurt experience is really special”

“This is our favorite restaurant to celebrate special occasions in Petaluma. The food is full of flavors and the meats are cooked perfectly. All the specials are unforgettable and leaving you wanting more. You can tell the chefs put their heart and soul into making every dish.”

“great food here. tops in service and taste. will go soon. just wish they were open every day.”

“Aug. 19, 2025 - We had one of the best experiences at Villa Corona. We recommend this place very strongly. Food was fantastic and we had excellent service in a very fun atmosphere. Special thank you to owners of Villa Corona!”

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!”

“I miss you guys and the wonderful meals and wines. You will forever be my favorite place.”

“The experience at Mayo is one of the best in Wine Country. Incredible ambience, value and hospitality. The chef curates seasonally menus matched with the wines of Mayo. Each course is explained in great detail and why it works so well with the paired wines. We have been coming for a few years now and always look forward to our return. Well done.”

“An absolute gem of a winery—graceful, inviting, and memorable in all the right ways.

Our group—six adults and one very content 10-month-old (we called ahead to be sure he was welcome)—settled in effortlessly and were rewarded with an experience that felt both relaxed and refined. We chose the veranda, where the view opened onto a lush garden alive with movement. Between sips, we caught glimpses of hummingbirds darting like jewels, butterflies drifting lazily, and even the occasional chipmunk making a curious appearance.

Our hostess guided us through the $50 tasting with warmth and expertise, bringing each of the five wines to life with just the right balance of knowledge and ease. Every pour impressed—distinct, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable. And the thoughtful touch of applying the tasting fee toward bottle purchases? That sealed the deal. Each couple left with at least two bottles in hand—a testament to both the quality of the wine and the smart, guest-friendly approach.

Inside, a wall of glass reveals rows upon rows of barrels stretching into the distance, a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship behind every glass. You can wander through this space via the gift shop, adding another layer to the experience.

A place that manages to feel both elevated and welcoming—I’d return without hesitation.”
