The Top 2 Wine Bars Near Robert Mondavi Winery
-
Rank 1. Valley
Wine bar
A Bib Gourmand wine bar on the Sonoma Plaza that somehow manages to be genuinely laid-back about the whole wine thing, which in wine country is practically a superpower. The list leans organic and biodynamic, adventurous without being intimidating, and the small rotating food menu holds its own. Locals in flannel and couples doing a long weekend fill the room. Everything's meant to be shared, and the vibe is very much stay a while.

Rank 2. Snail Bar
Natural Wine Bar
Snail Bar looks like a natural wine bar for people who own at least one tote bag, and it is, but the cooking punches way above that premise. The chef has serious fine-dining credentials and it shows in every small plate that comes out of the kitchen. The menu shifts constantly, the snails are always on, and the room stays packed with regulars who know exactly what they're doing. Bib Gourmand, if that seals it for you.
