This is where to dine in the Sonoma Valley
Casual Tasting or
Five-Course Estate Lunch?
Two ways to pair wine and food at St. Francis Winery, one of Sonoma Valley's most acclaimed tasting rooms just off Highway 12, a short drive from Santa Rosa, Kenwood, Glen Ellen, and about an hour north of Napa and San Francisco. Whether you want a casual outdoor grazing experience or a five-course seated lunch with vineyard views, this is where Sonoma County wine country pairing starts.

Secrets of Sonoma
Culinary Wine Pairings of Self-Discovery
A Casual Wine Tasting with Food
A relaxed outdoor culinary wine pairing in Sonoma Valley, designed for guests looking to savor some of Sonoma’s renowned wine, food, and hospitality. No wine expertise required, just an appetite for epicurean discovery.
The right experience for...
Spectacular Sonoma landscapes and vistas
Lovers of sustainable plant-forward dining
Flexible group seating (parties of 2 - 12)
Dogs on leashes to join
Diners looking to graze at their own pace
Guests looking for approachable wine education
An interactive experience that goes beyond the wine
A Few Things to Consider
Secrets of Sonoma isn’t the right fit for guests who want a formal indoor lunch instead of an outdoor setting, a hearty meat-forward menu instead of plant-forward shared plates, private seating instead of a social group table, a dog-free space, a tightly structured pace instead of casual grazing, or sophisticated wine education instead of approachable wine introduction. This experience is not designed for guests seeking a traditional sequential wine tasting, as the format is intentionally centered on understanding your palate and inspiring interaction between guests.
Is this the experience for you?
Wine & Food Pairing
Five-Course Estate Lunch
An elevated, full service, fine-dining experience
Sonoma Valley’s premier wine-and-food pairing lunch is hosted in the Estate Dining Room, with guests seated at a communal pairing table. A sequence of individual courses, thoughtfully curated by Executive Chef Peter Janiak, is presented to complement five winery-exclusive pours.
The right experience for...
Guests who want the meal to be the destination
Guests who want a formal, elevated presentation
Diners who prefer protein-anchored dishes of meat and seafood
Anniversaries, a birthday, or a first 'real' trip to wine country
Visitors looking for an intimate connection to our wines
Guests looking for a cozy space no matter the season
A Few Things to Consider
The Wine & Food Pairing might not be the right fit for guests who want a casual outdoor setting rather than an indoor seated dining room, a plant-forward shared menu rather than a formal five-course plated meal, or a laid-back, self-paced grazing style rather than a structured two-hour format. It’s also not an option for guests hoping to bring a dog or anyone looking for a lower price point, even though the value for the investment is exceptional.
