This square is home to wineries, shops and restaurants. We attended the farmers Market on Tuesday night and enjoyed the local music and enjoyed the flavors of the food at stalls. They allow you to bring in a bottle of wine for your consumption. I would also recommend visits to the Charle Creek tasting room and the Eric James. More

I was born and raised in Sonoma...but I have been in Texas for over 18 years now. The plaza is a place for relaxing with a nice picnic...watch your kids play in the park...feed the ducks..etc. There is something unique about this town square that is unlike any other. The shops, the history, the food, the people..not sure...I go back... More

The plaza is a great place to stroll, shop, and dine, would have loved to have more time to spend there! There are so many places to see in Sonoma and Napa, this area is time well spent on your wine country vacation. More
