About Sonoma's Best

A century-old corner market on East Napa Street reborn as a coffee bar, deli counter and bottle shop, run alongside its own guest cottages by the same group that owns The Sonoma Cheese Factory. It's a good east-side stop for breakfast sandwiches, a sandwich or salad to go, or a hard-to-find local bottle.

Park

Bartholomew Park

Sonoma· 0.7 mi

Bring your own foodNo reservationDogs OKShade

A privately owned estate park that's open to the public, run by the nonprofit Bartholomew Foundation, and one of the prettiest free picnic spots near Sonoma, with lawns, redwoods and vineyard views minutes from the Plaza. The on-site winery that funds the park sells bottles and tumblers for picnickers, though the rules don't say whether you can bring your own wine.

A historic winery set inside Bartholomew Park, a 375-acre private preserve on Sonoma's east side with free parking, oak-shaded picnic tables and about three miles of hiking trails. It is one of the few Sonoma Valley spots where you can picnic without buying anything, and wine to go is sold for the park.

Sonoma Plaza (Plaza Park)

Bring your own foodNo reservationWine allowedShade

Sonoma's historic central square is the easiest picnic in the valley: grab food from the shops around it, claim a shady patch of lawn, and legally open a bottle between 11:30 a.m. and sunset. It is lively, free and walkable to dozens of tasting rooms, with playgrounds and a duck pond for kids, but dogs are not allowed.

A relaxed neighborhood park a short walk from the Plaza, with bocce and petanque courts, a playground and public restrooms next to the picnic tables. It's the downtown option for dog owners, since leashed dogs are welcome here but banned from the Plaza, and the same 11:30 a.m.-to-sunset drinking window applies.
