Restaurants near Kenwood

“It was an absolutely lovely afternoon: food (bites) and wine pairing was spot on! Food complimented the wine, without overpowering it. Nice flavor subtleties.... creative, seasonal with a nod to agricultural stewardship (featured walnuts instead of almonds in a delicious white gazpacho.) Chef Oscar was approachable, friendly and very kind. Ditto with VJ, and well Jeffrey Mayo is a impeccable host. Wines were delicious, subtle and balanced, obviously created by well informed palettes. Went home with more than my share:-). Cannot wait to go back. Loved that the "reserve room;" was not stodgy, the garden area felt like we were sitting visiting with someone in their back yard.. Guess we were.”

“A very lovely surprise! Great selection of Sonoma wines, each with a flair all their own! A small volume winemaker and a simple tasting room. If you are looking for great wines, stop here!

Rod, our tasting guide, easily lead us through the selections available! His style made the experience even better!

I highly recommend Ty Caton wines for not only tasting but buying as well! We even joined the wine club!

A must stop in the Kenwood area!”

“Here two years later and still 10/10 would recommend. Did the mountain top tasting today and it was a gorgeous day. I did the mountain top tasting about a year ago and there was something new about the experience this time which I appreciated. New this time was the dark chocolate pairing with the Moon Mountain, which was delicious.

Thank you Sally for your warm hospitality. Loved all the wines and the charcuterie board at the top of the mountain. Brought my friend who has never been here and she loved it. We both walked out with one of my favorites, the Magnolia Lane Sauvignon Blanc which is not on the tasting menu but Sally was so kind to give us a splash.”

“Golden Bear was such a wonderful surprise! The freshness of the food was amazing, and the entire place has such a cozy, welcoming vibe. It was the perfect break in our drive to sit down and enjoy some absolute deliciousness. If you're on the road and need a great meal in a comforting atmosphere, don't skip this spot!”

“Zapata burrito with chicken and steak was great. Red and green sauce were good too. Only downside is they did not have margaritas but that is typically not expected from food trucks. No complaints.”

“We had a lovely time wine tasting at the Landmark Vineyards, such an amazing place. Danna went above and beyond for us. If you happen to go there, you MUST try the Popcorn with some wine.
My favourite combo ! Thanks Danna and The Team”

“Well done!!!! You saved the day! Every place we went was closed for lunch. Our mother turned 95, can you believe it.
You have a beautiful, miniature piazza that reminded her of our visit to Italy. A warm welcoming and very attentive staff. The food was perfect. I cannot recommend this establishment enough.”

“I think it is mandatory for a winery to have a lovely building and grounds. That said, the building here is very stylish and impressive. The wine is of course lovely and the customer service was excellent as well. Very much worth your time if you are wine tasting.”

“If you’re in the Santa Rosa area and looking for a great spot for a wine tasting, I highly recommend Ledson Winery in Kenwood. While the breathtaking mansion and meticulously manicured grounds set the stage, it’s the service that steals the show.

The Ledson team is amazing. They promptly greeted us and diligently assisted our group as we browsed and sipped our way through the shop. Armed with crackers and cheese purchased from the shop, we sat down in a private room with Brandon Garcia who patiently walked us through a variety of wines. Hearing the history behind the mansion and winery and learning about each of the wines we were sipping made for a very enjoyable and memorable experience.

Thank you Brandon and team for rolling out the red carpet for our group.

Sincerely,
The Coburns, and new Ledson Winery members 🍷”

“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”

“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!”

“The views were stunning, the vibe was cozy and elegant, and the food? Absolutely delicious—so fresh and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive too. Perfect place to unwind and treat yourself. Highly recommend! 🌟🍷”

“The experience is absolutely unforgettable! We have completed extensive traveling including, but not limited to Italy and Paris and this is far the best wine tasting to date. The experience was intimate, personable. From the champagne on arrival, to the photo opportunity located at the best view of the vineyard on the property, to food and wine pairing where the the tartlet was indescribable. Listening to Tyler, a native Al, provide the history of the vineyard and background of labeling. Just an awesome experience, Visit, you will not regret it!!!”

“We booked a tour and tasting on a lovely sunny day. We were joined by four other people. We enjoyed everyone's company, swapping Napa notes, while learning about the Cakebread family and wines. We were given a welcome taster of Rose while we waited for the session to start. An informative video was playing in the large room. Four wine tasting stops while we gained more information from our host Jeff. Seeing the tank and barrel room was interesting, as was getting to taste finger limes from the garden. A nice bottle of Cabernet was purchased for the suitcase home.”

“Of all the vineyards we visited in Napa Valley, Rombauer was our favorite! The hospitality shown by the staff from the minute we walked in was suburb. Deniro was an engaging and enthusiastic educator in promoting the Rombauer experience. We highly recommend!”

“What a fun birthday celebration for my husband at Hall Wines, we had the most amazing time with phenomenal experience and their wines are sooooo good! This made it to my Top 4 fav wines globally. The staff is great too.”

“I was visiting Sonoma for the NASCAR race and found myself with some free time, so I searched Google Maps and came across Loxton. I’m so glad I did because I can’t recommend this winery enough!

How often do you get a personal tour from the winemaker himself? Chris was incredibly down-to-earth, welcoming and passionate about what he does. He has a great way of breaking down the winemaking process into simple, easy-to-understand explanations that made me feel comfortable asking questions and truly enjoying the experience.

The wines were fantastic, and the entire visit felt personal and authentic. I’m already looking forward to my next trip back to Sonoma. Until then, I’ll be enjoying these fabulous wines from home!”

“Rick was very welcoming, great conversation and vibe. Small business connection, so relatable. Best of luck !”

“Violetto was a lovely experience. The staff all around have hospitality mastered. The chef chooses to tell stories with his offerings and uses local ingredients (from as close by as the property garden). There is a sense of playfulness in the menu and plenty of spaciousness to interact with each course (plates are coming carefully timed for savoring). The host, manager, bartender, and waiter were all attentive, knowledgeable, approachable, and chose to appear unhurried (which is an art in any restaurant!). Memorable meal! We will return when we are back in the area.”

“Friendly service and food was amazing.”

“Really enjoy our experience today. Dana was absolutely lovely 😊”
