Picazo Café
Sonoma
Breakfast runs throughout this daytime café’s service, alongside burgers and bowls. Mexican dishes and American café staples make it an adaptable Sonoma meal stop.
All-day breakfast means during the café’s daytime opening hours, not a late dinner service. Check the current menu and closing time.
A rotating craft-beer taproom and garden at the Oxbow Annex, with Detroit-style pizza from its reopened kitchen. A convenient alternative to a winery reservation while exploring downtown Napa.
Use the McKinstry Street Annex address. Check the current food menu and tap list; this is a brewery-operated taproom rather than a Napa production brewery.
A downtown Sonoma County brewpub combining house beers and pizza. Choose this original Santa Rosa stop when you want a meal and a walk around the city center.
Nearby trip from Napa or Sonoma town. Kitchen service ends before the bar; special releases can bring queues.
A Sonoma County taproom with a kitchen serving seasonal pub food. The original Santa Rosa location retains the barrel-aged and experimental side of the brewery.
Nearby trip from Napa or Sonoma town. Select the Santa Rosa taproom when booking; the group also operates a Healdsburg beer garden.

Leah Scurto’s Windsor pizzeria pairs carefully developed pizza dough with a rotating local beer and wine list. Make it a meal stop on a northern Sonoma County outing.
