Sonoma Plaza

Known For

Bocce courts and farmers markets inside a genuine historic square

Sonoma Plaza anchors the entire town with its vintage interior of history — mission-era buildings framing a working square that still hosts farmers and bocce players. Settle into a shaded bench and the moody atmosphere does the rest.

🕐Best time to visit: Tuesday evenings during summer market season

453 1st St E, Sonoma, CA 95476, USA

Our Take

Sonoma Plaza is one of the great town squares in California — eight acres of heritage oaks, a working duck pond, and some of the best wine country people-watching you'll find anywhere. It's a solid, rewarding anchor for any Sonoma day, the kind of place you keep circling back to.
