12 Best Wine Bars in Sonoma

“Congratulations to this boutique winery! Their reds are smooth, pleasant and maturing. The story of passion and legacy will keep their production going for many years! Looking forward to returning.!“

“Delicious food, great for taking photos and relaxing, relaxed atmosphere“

“Excellent Pinot Noirs, Neil is terrific.“

“If Enoteca were a bottle of wine, it would be a perfectly aged red—full-bodied, rich, and likely to make you want to tell all your friends about it after the first sip. The atmosphere is equal parts cozy and classy, like the kind of place where you can feel sophisticated and still laugh until your cheeks hurt.

And then… there’s Lilly.
Lilly isn’t just an employee—she’s the heart, soul, and uncorked magic of Enoteca Sonoma. She could probably sell wine to a vineyard owner, and she somehow knows exactly what you need before you even realize it yourself. Need a pairing suggestion? She’s got it. Need a story about the wine that makes it taste even better? Done. Need someone to casually convince you to order another glass? She’s your girl.

Basically, Enoteca without Lilly would be like a wine glass without wine—functional, but missing the good stuff.

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a toast to Lilly for making every visit feel like the perfect pour. 🍷“

“I liked foods here that I don’t like normally at all. The servers are friendly and accommodating to everything we asked for.“

“Brought some friends from the east coast to experience Rancho Maria Wines and had such an amazing time in the Wine Garden! Started with a tasting of the delicious reds thanks to recs from Val, who was equally as outstanding and friendly! Ended up getting glasses of the Full Montie, Stella, and the Petite Syrah…while leaving with a bottle as well! Such a fun time and superior friendly service! Shout out to Val for creating a pressure free but highly informative experience that made our day…give that woman a raise!!! Can’t wait to come back again REAL soon. ? Rancho Maria Wines feature smooth drinking, character filled, and tasty wine options with a focus on Syrah and Zin fruit…but also have an incredibly balanced and bright Chardonnay option for white wine lovers!“

“Wonderful food, great ambiance, and attentive service! If you can get a reservation here I highly recommend it. We had the Bacalhau no Forno, Caldeirada Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew, Feijoada, and Alcatra Portuguese Pot Roast. Every dish was amazing, and the dinner was our favorite for our time in Sonoma. They offer red and white wine flights, as well as port flights for after dinner. The desserts are tasty too.“

“Wonderful experience from start to finish. The wine was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service truly stood out. A special shoutout to Boob - friendly, knowledgeable, and made the visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Kiv is a total find. The front looks a little rough when you pull up…then you step through and it opens into this unexpected backyard oasis. Big shade umbrellas, fire pits, quiet corners — the kind of spot you settle into for hours.

The wines are fantastic and very reasonably priced. Father’s Watch (pictured) might be one of the best blends anywhere — balanced, silky, and way better than its price point suggests. They’re also working with some rare and hard-to-find varietals, which makes each flight feel different than the usual Sonoma lineup.

The chicken and ricotta bites? Absolute knockout. One of those dishes you order “just to try” and immediately wish you’d doubled.

Service is relaxed but sharp, the atmosphere is great, and there’s a wonderful restaurant next door. Location is solid, but you could easily drive past the humble storefront — don’t.

A+ winery. Total gem.“

“Wonderful wine selection & amazing service.“

“Um lugar incrível, Comida perfeita, Garçons atenciosos, Tudo perfeito.“

“Food quality and service was top notch as was in our past visits. Though I requested a separate table, we were still seated at bench style seating. A separate table prevents being too close to other diners where their conversations can be intrusive and gives a measure of privacy. Given my reservation was done well in advance, it didn't seem unreasonable it couldn't be honored. Otherwise, all was good!“
