Founded by Mia Steiger in 2015, Sonoma Food Tour offers a unique way to experience Sonoma's rich culinary landscape. The tour takes guests on a delightful journey through Sonoma's vibrant downtown, where they enjoy tastings from various local artisans while learning about the region's heritage. This insider experience is perfect for those looking to explore the hidden culinary gems of Sonoma.
This three-hour walking tour has become a local favorite, with guides like Abby, Caroline, Mia, and Amy consistently earning praise for their warm personalities and deep knowledge of Sonoma's history. The experience hits a sweet spot between educational and delicious, taking small groups to carefully curated stops including a Mexican restaurant, chocolate shop, wineries, cheese makers, and an ice creamery. Reviewers appreciate how seamlessly everything flows, with each business clearly expecting the group and ready to serve generous portions that add up to a full meal plus treats. The thoughtful details make a difference here. Guides photograph your group and share the images afterward, provide hand-drawn maps for notes, and greet local business owners like old friends, extending that warmth to guests. The pace allows for leisurely enjoyment without feeling rushed, and the moderate walking covers hidden alleys and spots around Sonoma Plaza that visitors might miss exploring solo. Even locals who've taken the tour multiple times say they learn something new each time, making it work equally well for first-timers and those already familiar with the area.
We had such a great time on this tour. Deborah was a terrific guide. She shared tons of information about Sonoma in a fun and engaging manner. Everything we tasted, from the chocolate to the Mexican dish, was absolutely delicious. Wine, champagne and the “Mia”rita was top notch. I can’t recommend this enough.
