SoNapa is really about a Lifestyle—Besides the obvious namesake attributes of Sonoma and Napa, our brand signifies passion, enriched experiences, and simplicity.

When the original partners gathered to discuss the concept of a wine venture, the one common bond was passion.  We’re passionate about friendships, and wine has certainly enriched many of our interactions with friends and family.  And while a good wine may be very complex, many of the basics of nature that combine to actually make good wine—are in fact very simple.  Sunlight, moisture, good earth, caring and devotion all combine to create great wine, often times as complex as the relationships in our lives.

Well—we knew we loved wine, we knew it could bring us closer to friends and family, and to honor the simplicity we knew we wanted, we decided not to “be all things to all people”.  We would focus on California wines from Sonoma and Napa—we can get wine from anywhere, but we felt it would take a lifetime to

explore the intricacies of these two regions, so why not be ‘great’ at these two regions as opposed to being a ‘warehouse’ for the world…?  Our menu items are also simple—fresh ingredients in simple combinations that absolutely complement the wines.  Apples, brie, flatbreads, fresh basil and mint.  This is what you’ll find at our humble locations.

Great wine is also about balance… and we chose to balance profit with friendship.  We figured out how to do that with memberships.  We bring transparent pricing to our members and give them the wine—at cost.  If we get a case for free, our members get a case for free.  Simple.

The two original business partners Adam Barringer and Michael Kosmas poured many bottles of wine to create the business plan and with the help of a few others, we’re very pleased to be able to invite you on the journey with us.  To modify a great phrase to suit our purposes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first sip…”  We hope we’ve created a venue that you’ll enjoy, and we look forward to your visit.
