St. Francis Winery & Vineyards

Present this story to receive two-for-one wine tasting.

At St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, wine and food blend perfectly to reflect the beauty and charm of Sonoma Valley, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors.

The Winery’s ZAGAT-recommended multicourse wine and food pairing is unsurpassed in wine country, offering what a local food writer described as “small plates that rival the kitchen of Michelin-starred restaurants.” St. Francis Executive Chef David Bush, whose résumé includes Sonoma’s The Girl & The Fig restaurants, masterfully pairs his creative dishes with St. Francis’ award-winning wines. The menu changes seasonally but offers an array of gourmet delicacies.

“My philosophy about wine and food pairing is that there are no rules,” Chef Bush says. “I like to take risks. My ultimate goal is to surprise people and for them to leave with a different view of how wine and food work together.”

The newly renovated St. Francis dining room, with its tiled fireplace and spectacular vineyard views, is the ideal setting for Chef Bush’s break-the-rules pairings. Guests sit at a custom-designed round table, guided through each course by an expert host who highlights key components and shares some of the winery’s history. The experience is relaxed, friendly and educational, showcasing the best Sonoma County has to offer.

Seated pairings are held Friday-Sunday at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. There are two seatings on Mondays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The cost is $42 per person. Reservations
