Thanksgiving Dinners and Treats in Sonoma and Napa Counties

Life is stressful enough as it is. This year, let Sonoma County’s restaurants, caterers and bakeries handle the Thanksgiving cooking. 

We rounded up a lengthy list of places in both Sonoma and Napa counties to dine out on Thanksgiving Day, as well as places that are offering takeout meals and treats to enjoy in the comfort of home. 

Reserve early, as space is limited and tends to fill up fast. All sit-down dinners are on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, unless noted otherwise.

Mental health organization Mission Connection named Sebastopol as one of the top ‘zen’ cities in America in a recent blog post.

Mission Connection Healthcare is an online program dedicated to providing personalized mental health treatment and resources for people seeking support services.

The post listed 150 of the “most zen” cities in America, based on Google reviews from October, 2024. Each place scored between 4.12–4.88 on a 1–5 scale.

Sebastopol ranked No. 13 on the list with a score of 4.82 in Google reviews.

The bohemian city, a longtime agricultural hub in Sonoma County, is largely known for embracing art, culture and sustainable living. Spas, health stores, plant-based restaurants, art galleries and more abound in the county’s Gravenstein capital.

How to find zen in Sebastopol

For a zen-filled day in Sebastopol, start with a leisurely walk through Ragle Ranch Regional Park. The park features a peace garden, backcountry trails and picnic sites. The Blackberry Trail loops around the Atascadero marsh and across the creek, a perfect site for bird watching. In August, the park hosts the city’s renowned Gravenstein Apple Fair.

After a nice nature hike, break for lunch at one of the animal-friendly, plant-based restaurants Sebastopol has to offer. Favorites include Cozy Plum, La Bodega Kitchen, Muir’s Tea Room and Soft Medicine Sanctuary. At Soft Medicine, guests can dine on Ayurvedic grain bowls and sip soothing herbal teas, like the meditative Zendo or the relaxing and minty Casablanca. Soft Medicine also has a yoga studio as well as a cozy lounge to relax in.

Sedona, Ariz. received a 4.88 score and ranked No. 1 on the Mission Connection list. Many consider the city’s red rock landscapes to “hold powerful spiritual energy,” according to the blog post. An abundance of yoga studios, spas and holistic healing centers also lend to the city’s zen-like vibe.

A Globally Focused Roadhouse Has Replaced Jenner’s Former Russian House #1

The former Russian House # 1 in Jenner has reopened as a casual restaurant with global cuisine. Jill Rayna Lippitt is behind the new food venture, which features a frequently changing menu that has recently included barbecue pork belly banh mi, rice noodle bowl, chicken and tofu satay, boba milk tea, Thai tea and sesame vanilla cream soda.

Russian House #1 closed in December 2021 after co-owners Tatiana Ginzburg, Tatiana Urusova and Polina Krasikova lost their lease on the experimental, pay-what-you-want restaurant and spiritual center outside Jenner. Nested on a hill overlooking an estuary of the Russian River, it boasted epic views and Russian comfort food with a side of mysticism.

Jilly’s Real Food Roadhouse is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, but call ahead to confirm before you go. 9960 CA-1, Jenner, 707-756-0119.

On the horizon

An update on the former Oyster bistro at the Barlow: Acre Pizza owner Steve DeCosse will take over the 850-square-foot oyster and champagne bar formerly owned by Sushi Kosho’s Jake Rand. DeCosse, who founded Acre Coffee (now Avid Coffee), plans to open an affordable pasta restaurant at 6770 McKinley St. in Sebastopol.

“It’s always been a passion of mine to create a family-friendly pasta restaurant,” said DeCosse. “Over the last few years, I have been traveling and studying pasta in Italy, Portugal and Spain. I have now decided to create a pasta ‘bar’ restaurant focused on simple but elevated options.”

Pasta will be made fresh daily, and DeCosse hopes to crack the code on artisan-quality pasta at fast-casual prices — ideally under $15 per entrée.

“My intention here is to offer our community a very affordable dining experience with Old World hospitality,” he said. Watch for a spring 2025 opening.

A Once-Secret Compound in Tomales Bay Is Now Open for Dinner as Mable’s

As the onetime coastal headquarters of Guglielmo Marconi’s long-distance radio receiving station, and later home to Synanon’s infamous religious community, the 62-acre Marconi State Historic Park has never been known for its relationship to cuisine. But a year after a multimillion-dollar renovation of the historic conference center, a well-known local chef has opened Mable’s restaurant in the Lodge at Marconi with a luxurious Mediterranean-inspired dinner menu.

Locals may remember chef Les Goodman of Goodman’s Jewish Deli, a farmers market pop-up with fresh bagels, chocolate babka and a memorable shakshuka that put the Santa Rosa Junior College culinary chef instructor on the map. In fact, I’m still looking for a version of the smoky tomato and pepper poached egg breakfast dish as addictive as Goodman’s.

At Mable’s, Goodman has upped his game with a shareable menu that includes smoked and tinned fish with fried Saltines; sourdough focaccia with house-cultured butter; local cheese and charcuterie boards; a Ukranian seven-layer dip with smoked trout; grilled kofta meatballs; whole roasted cauliflower with herb and chili sauce; catch-of-the-day fish entrées; roasted half chicken with salsa verde and grilled Stemple Ranch steak.

The restaurant is open to the public, and it’s a good spot for a cocktail and snacks after a hike around the park or a visit to the coast. Mable’s has a full bar and extensive wine and beer selections. Dinner is available from 4 to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

Healdsburg Winery Unveils French-Style Renovation That Elevates Tastings

Chef's Table at Jordan Winery

Healdsburg’s Jordan Winery has been making Cabernets and Chardonnays in the French Bordeaux tradition since the mid-1970s, when Tom and Sally Jordan founded the winery. Now owned by their son, John Jordan, the winery recently unveiled its latest expression of Francophilia: the renovated tasting room, al fresco dining area and gardens — all refreshed in the property’s classic French style.

The 1,200-acre estate is notable for its well-balanced wines and sustainable use of the land (three-quarters of the grounds are left wild). Also of note is the property’s Old World-style chateau that houses winemaking facilities, guests suites, a tasting room and kitchen.

San Francisco-based Maria Khouri Interiors brightened the existing dark palate of the chateau’s tasting room. Tranquil tones meet the opulence of Louis XVI-style chairs, a Maison Baguès chandelier and 13th century-style encaustic tile on the hearth. Dark wooden ceiling beams contrast with white oak Carlisle floors. Richly textured curtains and Colefax and Fowler fabric upholstery on the chairs soften the look further.

Adjacent to the tasting room is the Chef’s Table room, where guests can sit at a French Provincial solid walnut dining table while enjoying the property’s culinary creations. Vintage elements adorn the room, like a Louis Philippe-style walnut cabinet and a 19th century Louis XVI-style canvas. And since the art of wine and food pairings are a focus at Jordan Winery, the redesign opened the wall to offer a view into the kitchen.

Just outside the tasting room doors is a covered pavilion providing an elevated al fresco experience with views of the impeccably designed and manicured gardens.

The work of Marin landscape designer Christian Douglas, the garden enjoys wide swaths of hedges and dots of boxwood spheres in Versailles planters. Crushed gravel paths frame symmetrical patches of green that center around a stone fountain. The disciplined and artful layout epitomizes classic French gardens.

Just a few blocks from the Healdsburg Plaza, a recently renovated, 1923-era Healdsburg home will host an open house and pop-up art gallery on Nov. 16, featuring local artists and wine.

The off-market dwelling, currently listed for $5,995,000, is offering private tours exclusive to pre-qualified buyers. However, the upcoming event will give the public a chance to see the historic home while sipping wine and perusing artwork from Fulton Crossing Gallery artists.

The event is the vision of Sonoma-based interior designer Andrea Palacios, owner of Hue Solstice. Palacios — whose boutique luxury interior design business serves both local and international clients — is currently launching a home staging business with this interactive shopping twist.

“There’s an incredible pool of talent here in Sonoma County,” Palacios said. “I thought, ‘Why not create a stage for our local artists, furniture makers, wine producers and greenery experts — right inside a beautifully restored home?”

The historic five-bedroom, four-bathroom home was formerly part of the Matheson Ranch Estate and owned by famed city builder Colonel Roderick Matheson’s family. Built in 1923 and first renovated in 1964, realtors Tatiana and Ben McWilliams gave the home a fresh restoration this year.

Petaluma-based winery Sophie James will be pouring at the upcoming event. A local French jazz band will provide a jazzy ambience for gallery-goers.

The staging of the gallery includes curated artworks by Fulton Crossing artists Lida Rebik, Lucy Liew, Donna McGinnis, Gale McKee and Britta Kathmeyer. Jorge Martinez, of Wine Country Decor, created select furniture pieces. House of Botanicals worked on the plant design in the home. Glass accessories are from Kay Young Glass and pottery is by Laura Ames.

Art pieces, furnishings and the home itself can be purchased at the Nov. 16 event. Twenty percent of all art sales will be donated to the Healdsburg Food Pantry.

The Open House will be held from 1-4 p.m. on Nov. 16. Limited spots are available. Register online. To learn more about the property coming soon to market, contact realtor Tatiana McWilliams at 707-303-6230, tatiana@liveinwinecountry.com, liveinhealdsburg.com.

Arnot-Roberts Winery in Healdsburg Offers Thrills Without Frills

At Arnot-Roberts winery in Healdsburg. (Courtesy of Arnot-Roberts)

One of the great things about Sonoma Wine Country is that there’s an experience for every intention. Sometimes, I’m in the mood to feel rich and pampered at a beautiful venue, drinking in the views as much as the wine. On other days, I want humbler surroundings at a place where it’s all about what’s inside the bottle. With its industrial setting and array of fascinating wines from across California, Arnot-Roberts is just the place to go low-key.

The story

Childhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts grew up together in the Napa Valley with close ties to the wine industry. Meyers’ dad, a local attorney, was good friends with legendary Clos du Val winery cofounder Bernard Portet. Roberts is the grandson of Margrit Biever Mondavi — it’s her botanical artwork that graces Arnot-Roberts wine labels — and his father cofounded a California-based cooperage. Like his dad, Roberts is a master cooper, and he began his wine industry career making barrels. The friends made their first wine together in 2001, and they cofounded Arnot-Roberts in Healdsburg a decade later.

The vibe

If you’re craving an Instagram-ready atmosphere with gorgeous vineyard views, you won’t find that at Arnot-Roberts. The winery is hidden along an industrial stretch of Healdsburg Avenue, just across the road from Memorial Beach Market and next to The Healdsburg School. Drive around back until you spot the Arnot-Roberts sign. Head toward the crush pad and you’ll see a rustic tasting bar set up on a small, shaded deck next to a lone fermentation tank. Glamorous? Nope. But the winery’s appeal lies in its authenticity. This is where sommeliers and other winemakers come to taste.

On the palate

Growing up in Napa Valley with exposure to “old Napa” wine cellars, Meyers and Roberts came to appreciate the reserved style of wines from the region’s earlier days — before points-chasing wineries adopted a “bigger is better” approach characterized by ultra-ripe flavors and high levels of alcohol.

Hailing from cool, maritime-influenced sites all over the state — including Roberts’ own Que Syrah vineyard in the Sonoma Coast appellation — Arnot-Roberts wines are about restrained elegance. Because Meyers and Roberts love to showcase uncommon varieties and interesting vineyards, they typically make a couple dozen small-lot wines each year, taking a low-intervention approach.

For $45, visitors can taste a different selection each week consisting of five to six wines. I immediately fell for the 2023 Trousseau ($35), a lighter-bodied red wine with perfumed aromas of red fruits and a silky texture. The 2023 Falanghina from Las Cimas vineyard in Russian River Valley ($32) is another charmer. With peachy aromas, this mouthwatering, Italian-style white is fresh and clean, with plenty of acidity. On the more traditional side, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Clajeux Vineyard in Chalk Hill ($125) is pure elegance. The wine has notes of black cherry and spice, and enough acidity to carry it into the next decade. Bonus: All of the Arnot-Roberts wines are in the lower-alcohol range of 11%-13% ABV.

Beyond the bottles

Downtown Healdsburg offers a plethora of upscale dining destinations, but sometimes all you want are some great, cheap tacos and a palate-cleansing Modelo. That’s when you head for Taqueria Guadalajara. Set in a strip mall on Healdsburg Avenue, this spot is a go-to for locals and vineyard workers — and a staff favorite at Arnot-Roberts. Definitely try the tomatillo salsa.

Sonoma and Marin Products Make Oprah’s 2024 List of ‘Favorite Things’

Oprah Winfrey recently released her hotly-anticipated annual list of “Favorite Things.” Among them is a body butter from Petaluma’s McEvoy Ranch and a cheese from a Point Reyes company.

With over 100 items on her list, Oprah highlights several small businesses with items that make great gifts and stocking stuffers for the holiday season.

McEvoy Ranch Whipped Body Butter, $39

The family-owned McEvoy Ranch, located in rural south Petaluma, produces award-winning olive oils — and now its beauty products are in the national spotlight. Oprah called McEvoy Ranch’s Whipped Body Butter “a rich and luxurious moisturizer.”

The body butter is made with the ranch’s organic extra virgin olive oil — as well as rosehip fruit oil, hyaluronic acid and shea and cocoa butters — for a skin-nourishing, hydrating cream. Scents include citrus, lavender, unscented and an herbaceous verde. The whipped body butter is currently on sale for $39 on McEvoy Ranch’s website.

Point Reyes Cheese & Thank You Gift Set, $95

Among Oprah’s favorite food gifts is a cheese gift basket from Marin-based Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. The Cheese & Thank You gift set is filled with a selection of handcrafted cheeses to pair with crackers and a spread.

“Thanks to four artisanal cheeses — TomaRashi, Gouda, Bay Blue and a just-so-good Truffle Brie — sweet olive oil crackers and a sour cherry spread,” Oprah stated, “the lucky recipients of this gift box (created just for us) will use the enclosed cheese knife to dive right in.”

This is the second year in a row Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. landed on Oprah’s coveted favorites list. Last year, Oprah featured the company’s Cheese Celebration Collection.

Past Oprah-approved local products

This isn’t the first time Sonoma County products fell into Oprah’s good graces. In 2016, she selected Guerneville’s Big Bottom Market biscuits among her favorites. The market changed its name to Piknik Town Market last year, following the departure of co-owner Michael Volpatt. New owner Margaret van der Veen confirmed the market still offers the famous biscuits.

In 2021, Santa Rosa-based Sonoma Lavender Co. made it on Oprah’s list for its lineup of scented stuffed animals. The heatable plushies contain a pouch of fragrant, soothing local lavender or eucalyptus.

In Napa Valley, Model Bakery’s English muffins made it on Oprah’s favorites list four times, in 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021. The Napa County bakery opened a location in the East Bay in 2022.

Where to Find The Best Taco Tuesday Deals in Sonoma County

Sure, we can eat tacos every day of the year (and nobody could stop us from trying). But it is reassuring to have a dedicated day each week to stake a claim to the flavorful tortilla pockets. 

It seems Taco Tuesday has always been in the zeitgeist, though its origins, and copyright, has been in contention for decades. According to a 2018 Thrillist article, Mexican restaurant chain Taco John’s has held the “Taco Tuesday” registered trademark since 1989. So protective of the trademark as they are, the restaurant has sent cease-and-desist letters to other eateries who use the phrase. 

While Taco John’s claims to have been the first to use the phrase “Taco Tuesday,” in 1979, Thrillist stated it had been in use for several years prior. Baker’s Drive-Thru in Southern California has a “Taco Tuesday” campaign that dates to 1976. And Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar holds the trademark for “Taco Tuesday” in New Jersey, which it filed in 1979.

Finally, in 2023, Taco John’s formally abandoned its claim to the phrase after Taco Bell went on a high-profile quest to free the commonly used saying of trademark restrictions. That’s right; you can thank Taco Bell for liberating “Taco Tuesday” for all (well, in 49 states — Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar still holds the trademark in New Jersey).

Locally, some residents started their own Taco Tuesday campaign — with a healthy twist. Chad Hunt and Juan Chavez, founders of the North Bay Kruzers bike club, initiated the Santa Rosa Taco Tuesday Ride in 2021, which sees dozens of people biking through the Santa Rosa Junior College neighborhood en route to local food trucks for post-ride tacos (on Tuesdays, of course).

On Election Day, locals rode through town in a lighted bike parade, from the SRJC parking lot to Mitote Food Park (see videos of the spirited community ride, as well as updates on future rides, on the group’s Facebook page). Find more information on schedules, start times and course routes for the weekly Taco Tuesday rides at downtownsantarosa.org.

So, now that Taco Tuesday is for everyone, we compiled some local restaurants that offer the best taco deals and specials on Tuesdays.

For more delicious tacos any day of the week, we rounded up the best in the county. And our dining editor has shared her overall favorites.
