There’s no denying that brunch is one of the best meals of the week. Not only does it give you the option of breakfast or lunch food, but there’s the added benefit of adult beverages at breakfast (which, when in Sonoma County can but does not have to be wine) served alongside a well-made (and usually much-needed) coffee drink.

The only thing that can make standard brunch fare even better is when it’s served at a Wine Country restaurant that offers fresh, local produce and meat from nearby farms, and that cares deeply about the farmers and purveyors in its community. Luckily, you’ll find all the above at every spot on this list—and you don’t need to be a Sonoma insider to enjoy them. From restaurants to wineries, here are the best farm-to-table brunches in Sonoma County.

Barndiva

Barndiva’s patio is the perfect spot for a special brunch in Sonoma County. The rustic, barn-inspired setting feels like a true escape from real life and the “modern country cuisine,” made with ingredients and produce from nearby Sonoma farms and gardens, is both pretty to look at and delicious to eat. Even at brunch, notoriously a more casual meal, it’s easy to see why this Healdsburg favorite earned a Michelin star—the farm fresh food shines in delicious dishes that are both colorful and delightful.

Insider Tip: Barndiva’s weekend brunch includes Fridays, and you can make reservations to avoid a wait.

the girl & the fig

Locally-grown California ingredients meet inventive French cooking at this Wine Country institution. Situated on the historic Sonoma Plaza, the girl & the fig has a charming outdoor patio—the ideal spot to enjoy a breakfast consisting of a perfectly concocted Bloody Mary (or locally-made Graffeo coffee) and any of the menu’s egg dishes (the Croque Madame made with a local cheddar cheese is consistently delicious and satisfying).

Insider Tip: You can get several of the brunch dishes, including the omelet du jour, quiche lorraine, and Croque Monsieur (add an egg) at lunch and dinner as well.

Benziger Family Winery

Yes, it’s brunch at a winery—but not just any winery. This is a farm-to-table experience at the family-owned Benziger Family Winery, where estate-grown ingredients and local purveyors come together for a true taste of Wine Country. Held Fridays through Sundays at 10:30am, this leisurely brunch includes a flight of Chardonnay paired with seasonal bites featuring goods from Bellwether Farms and Les Pascals Patisserie. It all ends on a high note with a sweet treat from Wine Country Chocolates, paired with Benziger’s flagship Bordeaux blend. Just note: Reservations are a must.

Insider Tip: If you’d rather BYOB (Bring Your Own Brunch), you can book one of the Terrace Picnic Tables (wine purchase is required, though). Since this outdoor area is dog-friendly, you can bring your pup, too.

El Dorado Kitchen

Located right on the historic Sonoma Plaza, El Dorado Kitchen remains a beloved go-to for both locals and visitors, offering a welcoming setting from sunrise to sunset. Weekend Brunch is the real standout—a celebration of Wine Country’s seasonal bounty served in one charming spot. Indulge in luxurious bites like caviar and burrata or opt for lighter fare such as a yogurt parfait or vibrant beet salad. Heartier cravings are equally rewarded with plates like Brioche French Toast, bacon-topped pizza, and a decadent Lobster Sandwich.

Americana

If there’s anywhere you’re going to be able to find classic diner breakfast food, but made with local and fresh, seasonal ingredients, it’s in Sonoma County, and that’s exactly the fare you’ll enjoy at Santa Rosa’s Americana, where brunch is served seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m and the ingredients are local, organic, and sourced from a dozen local farmers and food purveyors. The kitchen puts out a robust menu that truly has something for whatever mood you’re in, including several omelets made with local cheese, benedicts, burgers, and sandwiches, as well as a slew of brunch cocktails.

Insider Tip: The fried chicken with country gravy, two eggs, seasonal greens, toast, and hash browns or home fries will cure whatever ails you (and maybe send you straight home for a nap).

Blue Ridge Kitchen

When a hankering for fried chicken with biscuits and gravy hits at brunch time, head directly to this farmhouse-style wood grill and cocktail bar, Blue Ridge Kitchen, a farmhouse-style wood grill and cocktail bar where you can feast on exactly that (plus crispy bacon and sunny side up eggs which are what make this at breakfast and lunch, aka brunch situation). The food is Southern-inspired but with an emphasis on local ingredients, including farm bounty grown in the restaurant’s garden. And you likely won’t have a long wait, as there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating in the giant industrial warehouse space inside the Barlow, an outdoor market featuring goods from California artisans—perfect for exploring after an indulgent meal.

Insider Tip: Make plans to go immediately (summer is when the fried green tomatoes are on the menu).

Jeffrey’s Hillside Cafe

Breakfast and lunch are served everyday at Jeffrey’s Hillside Cafe, a cozy spot tucked inside an inn in Santa Rosa. Here, longtime Sonoma chef Jeffrey Madura finds inspiration from the many farms and local purveyors in and around Sonoma County for his no frills Santa Rosa restaurant, where the menu highlights breakfast favorites like omelets, scrambles, and pancakes, as well as some more lunch-appropriate options like burgers and salads. Wash it all down with a locally-made coffee and you’ll be ready to start your day.

Insider Tip: If you’re fond of a hash dish at brunch, you’ll love the many options at Jeffrey’s, including corned duck, corned beef, seasonal vegetable, and bacon and brussel sprout hashes.

Boon Fly Café

Okay, so technically Boon Fly Café is in Napa, but it’s just miles from the Sonoma County border, and it’s a favorite breakfast spot of both tourists and the local community, so it would be a shame to leave it off of this list. You can’t miss the impressive red barn that appears rustic on the outside but houses a sleek, industrial kitchen and restaurant inside. The daily brunch menu menu features “modern rustic cuisine based on the agricultural heritage of the region” and has food that will appeal to every craving, including a breakfast flatbread that is a perfect “appetizer” for the table. Boon Fly doesn’t take reservations for brunch so you can expect a wait, especially on the weekends, but there is plenty of seating while you do, including a couple of highly-coveted porch swings.

Insider Tip: No matter what, you must get the donuts. And since that’s not really a secret, here’s another piece of advice: Don’t skip the spicy Bloody Mary (it comes with a slice of crispy bacon and is oh-so-satisfying).
