There has never been a more exciting time to experience Sonoma County’s extraordinary dining scene.

A World-Class Culinary Destination

Leading the way is one of our personal favorites, SingleThread Farm – Restaurant – Inn in Healdsburg. Already one of the world’s few Three MICHELIN Star restaurants, SingleThread recently added another remarkable honor when Condé Nast Traveler named it a Triple Crown winner—an elite distinction recognizing hotels that have earned the publication’s Hot List, Gold List, and Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s just the latest reminder that Sonoma County has become one of the world’s great culinary destinations.

The 2026 MICHELIN Guide brought even more exciting news. Enclos in Sonoma was elevated to the coveted Three MICHELIN Star level, while Troubadour in Healdsburg earned its very first MICHELIN Star. Returning favorites include SingleThread Farm – Restaurant –Inn (Three Stars) and Cyrus (One Star). Several additional Sonoma County restaurants were also recognized by the San Francisco Chronicle among California’s finest dining destinations. For food lovers, there are few places anywhere that offer this level of culinary excellence within such a compact and beautiful region.
