Why SoNapa Was Founded

SoNapa Grille was founded on a shared passion for wine and the belief that great wine has the power to bring people together. What began as conversations among friends about creating a wine-focused dining experience quickly evolved into something much more meaningful—a place where relationships are built, memories are created, and community is celebrated.

Inspired by two of the greatest growing regions in the world, Sonoma County and Napa Valley wineries, the founders envisioned a restaurant where guests could enjoy exceptional wines, chef-inspired cuisine, and genuine hospitality in a warm and inviting setting. Rather than simply serving food and wine, SoNapa was created to transport guests to Wine Country and provide an experience centered on connection, conversation, and discovery.

Today, SoNapa Grille has grown into a regional restaurant group, but its purpose remains unchanged: to delight our guests and create lasting memories. Every location reflects the spirit of Wine Country—a place where great wine, exceptional cuisine, and meaningful moments are meant to be shared.

Our Mission, Our Values, Our Promise

At SoNapa Grille, our mission is simple:

To delight our guests and create lasting memories.

Everything we do—from the wines we pour and the dishes we prepare to the way we welcome guests through our doors—is guided by this purpose. We believe great hospitality is about more than food and wine. It's about creating meaningful experiences that bring people together.

You'll often hear our slogan:

TASTE. TOAST. TOGETHER.

For our guests, it captures the essence of the SoNapa experience—sharing exceptional wines, chef-inspired cuisine, and memorable moments with family and friends.

For our team, however, TASTE means something even more important. It serves as the foundation of our culture and the values that guide our decisions every day.
