Your guide to spending the day in the Sonoma Plaza

(and beyond) with vegan options all along the way!

Check out our all-new Google Map: Sonoma County Vegan Wine Trail here. We have put all our favorite wineries, restaurants, and must-dos in Sonoma County in one place making your planning one step easier.

Yes, vegan options do exist in Sonoma Valley. Some may be a bit harder to find, but we have you covered. Living in Sonoma Valley for over 15 years, and for the past five years as a vegan has helped make this personal. We have compiled our favorites into a list for you here so you don't have to worry about a thing- just head out and enjoy that perfect glass of vegan-friendly wine. Of course, we highly recommend taking our Farm Sanctuary and Vegan Wine Tour to round out your perfect weekend.
