St. Francis Winery & Vineyards

We had a great experience and highly recommend St. Francis Winery's food and wine pairing. Seating is extremely limited due to social distancing policies so book well in advance. The event takes about 1-1/2 hours but it goes fast because each course comes out pretty quickly.

These days not too many wineries have full kitchen service but St. Francis does and the courses we had were delicious with outstanding presentation.

This is a fantastic wining & dining experience! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the wines were very good. Our servers/hostesses were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything they presented. And the setting outside was gorgeous and felt really safe. It was a fantastic way to try some new things, enjoy the pairings, and just sit and relax at a beautiful winery for a while. This is my 2nd time doing one of these and i will definitely do it again.

Food delicious, wine amazing! Only draw back was that after we stopped at a local store and found the wine for cheaper. May not be the exact same but was little bummed to see.

Scrumptious food, incredible wines and beautiful setting….what more can you ask for? Attention to detail and service is impressive. This is “a must do” for all who enjoy great food and wine.

A little bigger portions on the food specially the main course. Otherwise, everything else is superb!

Valentine’s Day
Food and wine is always delicious!
Never disappointed!

Even though we were outside due to COVID and the weather wasn’t perfect, we still had a wonderful experience. We have been doing this several times a year for years, and we always are very happy.

This is great for special occasions, or just for fun.

Food was excellent, pairing with wine excellent, and the view was excellent.

I absolutely recommend the lunch at the winery. Very friendly staff, wine and food was excellent!

Exceptional pairing in gorgeous covered, open air setting with room for sunshine or shade and heat lamps among ceiling beams. Socially distanced tables for each couple. Locally sourced foods from soup to salad, protein and desserts created to enhance the well known St Francis wines. Several whites, reds and even a port. We always learn something from the knowledgable staff and enjoyed the fun and laughter with strangers now friends. We will return.

Best wine pairing experience in Sonoma that I have tried.

This wine and food pairing is one of the best in Sonoma County. Spectacular wines, and the food pairings created by the chef were perfection. The servers and staff are friendly, courteous and fun, making the entire experience completely enjoyable.

Brilliant pairing of great wines with top-tier cuisine.

Truly a memorable event and not too expensive to be a once in a lifetime event. St. Francis Winery makes it feel like it though. They do a great job!!!

St. Francis wine pairing is wonderful and not to be missed. The wines are all excellent and all the paired dishes were outstanding. We especially loved the lobster bisque and stuffed pork tenderloin. We're locals - if this were a restaurant, we'd be there weekly!

This is an amazing food and wine experience. Appreciate that the executive chef changes the menu throughout the year so there is always something new and exciting to look forward to.

Fantastic wine and food! The service was outstanding!

We love the St Francis food and wine pairing. Best non-restaurant dining experience in the Valley. 😊They really know their wines and you get a healthy pour with each course. They share special vintages not always available to the public. If you join their wine club, one or two of the categories allows you two free wine and food pairings a year, a nice a bonus.

Anniversary

It was delightful! Food and wine pairings were delicious and so nice to have staff and chef be available to talk through courses.

Love our times here! The staff, service, did, and wine are amazing! Hate to let the secret out but this experience is special!

From the introduction of the event by Andrea and Rene, our hosts who guides us through the pairing, through dessert and Port wine the experience was superb! The setting was Covid-19 appropriate with primarily tables for 2 and at least 10 feet apart.

We have experience several St. Francis chefs there is none better than Executive Chef Peter Janiak. The offering were innovative, well presented and delicious; not to mentions perfectly pair with St. Francis Wines.

This was truly and experience!

Chef Peter Janiak prepares startling impressive dishes that not only look pretty, but taste exquisitely gourmet. Rene and Andrea do an incredible job of explaining how the wine was selected to match the food and they give fun tidbits of history as well. This is a safe place to dine outdoors situated next to vines with Mayacama Mountain view. This truly is an astounding value which is why so many people from all over the country come here to dine. In addition, the wine is an excellent value and tastes superb which is why we ship it to family and friends for special occasions. We are never disappointed in this experience - it is over the top incredible. Foodies - this is a must do event:)

Outstanding! Delicious and fun. Definitely recommend.

The 5 course food and wine pairing was amazing! The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. We liked how they picked the wine and then decided what dish to pair with it. They provided a lot of food - not just a bite like a lot of food pairings would do. The wine was very good and we took 3 bottles home with us. The pairing took place on the patio, providing a beautiful view of the winery and mountains. The hostesses were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had an excellent time! It was the highlight of our week-long vacation in Sonoma and Napa. We cannot recommend it enough and will definitely go back.

This was an incredible experience. Lived up to the hype!

Great wine. Great food. Great time.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine pairing!! Excellent food, wine, and the presentation and service with fun and comfortable. A perfect Sunday afternoon!!

The food and wine pairings where amazing! Recommend for the hard to buy in your Christmas list!

Food was wonderful. Social distancing made it hard because I had to sit alone but the portions were perfect because I wasn't stuffed! I forgot my menu card so I couldn't tell everyone my wonderful dishes and wine pairings!, and I cant wait to book in 2021!

Love love the wine and food pairing at St.Francis Winery, they never disappoint.
We loved the short ribs.

The wine and food pairings were amazing!!! They had options for pescaterians. Staff very knowledgeable, great sense of humor. Chef was excellent!!

We have attended the food and wine pairings for many years. As always it was excellent!

The wine and food pairing is always delicious. The staff are very friendly and professional. We highly recommend this tasting experience and look forward to it every year as a benefit of the wine club. ☺️👍

This was a celebration dinner for friends and with friends. In today's environment that took some doing...had to get help to make reservations for four people and then meet our friends up there. It was a gorgeous day in Northern California, just before our current cold snap. Renee was the hostess and she clearly knows her business. The first sip of the lobster bisque and you know that Peter(?) the chef knows his business. We progressed through the food and wines culminating in the dark chocolate panna cotta with the St. Francis port, some of the last known by that name made in the US> The day continued fine for sitting on the lawn in the shade feeling the warmth and the slight breezes. A definite moment of contentment and gratitude.

This was my favorite menu out of the past 6 years that I have gone. It was a lot of fun. Great service.

Excellent! Very impressed with the food, wine and staff.

Enjoyed our lunch and time @St. Francis Winery! Wonderful staff!

Beautiful wine paired with an incredible meal and view.

Always a delightful visit. The wine-pairing lunch is an annual tradition and the new outdoor seating area was beautiful. Staff is very friendly, check out and purchase process has been vastly improved. We will be back!
