Valley Bar and Bottle

Valley Bar and Bottle stands as Sonoma’s sophisticated answer to the neighborhood wine bar, where the passion for local vintages meets refined New American cuisine in an intimate setting that feels both upscale and approachable. This gem has quickly become a cornerstone of Sonoma’s culinary scene, drawing wine enthusiasts and food lovers who appreciate the thoughtful curation of both bottle and plate.

The menu showcases California’s seasonal bounty with dishes that complement their impressive wine selection perfectly.
