Location: Paradise Ridge Winery

"The centerpiece of the setting is a spacious, newly-remodeled two-story building whose white stucco walls, loggia, mahogany framing and veranda echo early California architecture..."



"Guests drive up to the winery through pastures, vineyards, and a unique four-acre 'Sculpture Grove' of artwork set among the oaks.

Location: Depot Hotel Sonoma

"The garden is serene and secluded, landscaped with flowers, hedges and a large reflecting pool. A comfortable dining area decorated with antique Italian china is enlarged by a glass-enclosed garden room. Here you can have the benefits of indoor dining while feeling that you’re outdoors."



"Originally a private home, the Depot Hotel has played an active role in Sonoma’s past as a restaurant and hotel. It is currently located in a historic plumstone building near the Plaza in downtown Sonoma."
