Description:
SONOMA VALLEY. In a stately Victorian setting, this Sonoma charmer has managed to create a culinary experience worthy of the honorable General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, the California statesman who built this home for his daughter, Natalie, back in 1864. Today, the decor pays homage to the Wine Country's past, with much of its wall space filled with photos or paintings of historical or viticultural significance. The kitchen staff punctuates the experience with its bold Californian fare, using fresh local ingredients to create dishes like grilled double-cut pork chop with apple-mango chutney, and fettuccine with vegetable ratatouille and fresh tomato coulis. |

Description:
SONOMA. A National Historic Landmark, Sonoma's downtown plaza has long been the town's nerve center and the setting for a variety of social events. And, as home to several of the buildings that comprise Sonoma State Historic Park, you can be sure there's plenty to see and do. In addition to charming shops and restaurants, you'll find the historic Sonoma Barracks, Toscano Hotel, and Mission San Francisco Solano de Sonoma. The plaza is historically significant for another reason – in 1846, settlers raised the flag of the Republic of California for the first time here. A monument in the northeast corner of the plaza commemorates the occasion. Admission is $2 and includes all Sonoma State Historic Park sites. |

Description:
SONOMA. Pleasant, sunny, and relaxed, this local favorite makes its home in the historic Sonoma Hotel. Lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch feature an appealing selection of traditional French dishes with a few Californian touches in the mix. The namesake ingredient appears in a housemade fig cake that accompanies the cheese plate, as well as in the fresh fig and arugula salad, accented with pecans and pancetta. A savory croque monsieur, grilled polenta, and salmon nicoise are other choices, but save room for dessert – delights like pumpkin cheesecake and fig crisp await. |

SONOMA. Portuguese delights await at chef-owner Manuel Azevedo's charming casa, located just north of downtown Sonoma.

Featured main dishes include Camarao a Mozambique (piri-piri-seasoned prawns served in tomato-peanut sauce) and Feijoada Completa (stewed beef, pork, sausage, and black beans with rice and collards). |

SONOMA. Pleasant and unpretentious, this tiny Sonoma cafe has an artsy feel, and its intimate, white linen-draped tables are surrounded by contemporary art. A split-level dining area, subtle lighting, smooth hardwood floors, and a beamed ceiling provide added charm. The signature cuisine is Californian with Mediterranean flair as exhibited in dishes like seared black pepper-lavender filet mignon with gorgonzola-potato gratin or red wine-braised pork shank with white beans. Satisfying wine list, too. |

Description:
GLEN ELLEN. Named in honor of the California-born writer and adventurer, Jack London SHP sits about 20 minutes north of downtown Sonoma. In 1905, London moved into a stone cottage in the current park and, subsequently, wrote scores of books, short stories, and articles. At the home, which still stands today, visitors can learn about the man who wrote such American classics as "White Fang" and "Call of the Wild." A pathway leads from the cottage to a lake, an old bathhouse, and to tree-covered hills that offer spectacular views of the Valley of the Moon. |
