“ Feels Like Visiting a Good Friend’s Home- Sonoma Wine Shop La Bodega Sonoma Wine Shop La Bodega is one of those rare places where you walk in once and feel like you’ve been coming for years. The hospitality here is seriously next-level, super warm, friendly, and personal. It’s not just “good service,” it’s like they genuinely care about making sure you have the best time possible. One of the coolest things is how individualized the whole dining experience is. They really take the time to get to know what you like, and suggest wines individualized to your palate. It never feels rushed or cookie-cutter. Just relaxed, thoughtful, and totally enjoyable. And let’s talk about the food. Everything is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The minestrone and lentil soups are both rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. Their shepherd’s pie? Total comfort food perfection. And don’t even get me started on the desserts—the clafoutis is light and lovely and the kind you dream about later. If you’re in Sonoma and want a place that’s cozy, welcoming, and genuinely delicious, La Bodega should be at the top of your list. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. ”

“ Sincerely enjoyed our first experience here. The hospitality & atmosphere were great. We tried a little of everything including the mushroom pasta & shepherds pie which I’m still thinking about weeks later. The wine tasting was fun also. The only unique thing was the note about pre-ordering your meal, which I understand, but surprised us a little. Looking forward to next time! ”

“ La Bodega is such a lovely spot—vegetarian and full of flavor. There are so many great options, and everything I tried was delicious. Be sure to try the lasagna and arancini—they’re both fantastic! The staff is incredibly nice, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe. It’s clear they really like chickens—no chicken on the menu, and proud of it! The wines are great too. Super cute place, highly recommend! ”

“ We celebrated a birthday last night at La Bodega Kitchen. One of the best dining experiences. The welcome appetizers in the outdoor area were a perfect start. The warm pitas, the hummus, the eggplant dips so delicious. Prosecco was served. Such great Prosecco that I am calling today and reserving a few bottles. I was touched by the attention to details. The old fashioned China and silverware reminded me of wonderful dinners in Provence. The family style dinner included salad, mushroom pasta and a vegetarian dish. All outstanding in flavor and quality of ingredients. The Morrel mushrooms made the pasta so very exquisite. The owners were so warm. It felt that they were welcoming us to their own house. Different wines were offered with explanations of their origin and reason for pairing. The kids had a special table with pizza and Mac and cheese.... and room to run outside in the garden. As we were getting ready to leave, kids got balloons and treats. It was a memorable evening. We plan to go back to the restaurant to keep enjoying the great food and service. Thank you! ”

“ My family had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel so welcome. The food was vegan, and it was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this place to anyone, vegan or not. And thanks for the wine recommendation. My kids love the balloon ”

“ Best vegetarian food I have ever tasted. Full of flavor, well balanced, all fresh local ingredients. Each table also receives an optional wine flight tasting of several wines served by an incredibly knowledgeable member of the staff. Super friendly environment. Can't wait to go back ”

“ Oh wow, THIS is how a restaurant experience should be! Everybody was so friendly, so easy and fun. The owners, our waiter (but he was much more that that!), and the woman who brought out the food and cleared the table were all so welcoming and human and easy to talk to it was a very refreshing. And ordering ahead is great, you sit down, don't have to worry about a menu and get some wine and the food comes right out. Absolutely delicious everything, appetizers, dinner and wine. Highly recommended! ”

“ Such a lovely curated gastronomic experience! The plant based menu is rich in flavor and diverse in content - the mushroom ravioli is a must try! The service was above and beyond; I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! Expect to have a complimentary guided wine tasting accompany your meal; a fun experience even if you aren't a regular wine aficionado. The small venue adds to the cozy intimate experience - so make reservations in advance to ensure a spot. We will definitely visit again! ”
