We had a wonderful tasting experience with Martha. We came as part of Sonoma Sips (special deal to…read moren tasting), but she cheerfully accommodated my husband's preferences for only whites. These wines are gorgeous! You can taste from 3 labels, and all are so good. The Pinot noir and Cabernet in my tasting were both standouts. I would have bought bottles of both, but opted for the Pinot this time due to cost. The wines are worth it, but I didn't have that discretionary spending this time.

Opening up around 10 am, they recommend reservations but walk-ins are welcome as they have a pretty large tasting room with multiple lounge seating arrangements. Jose was very accommodating when choosing the tastings, knowledgeable in the wines he poured, the estate/company, and prepared a beautiful plated charcuterie board that was delicious (see photo). Highly recommend checking out Pangloss when you come to the town of Sonoma- Cheers!

I'm more of a red wine type of gal, but their whites were delicious. Our server was very attentive to our needs. My niece spilled her mocktail and they replaced it. That was very generous of them. We enjoyed our stay. My family ended up buying about 8 bottles with them.

Salumeria Ovello has become one of those places I look forward to having all week long. The smell…read moreof fresh warm focaccia coming out of the oven, simple ingredients that actually taste fresh, and sandwiches that somehow feel both light and deeply satisfying at the same time. Simple ingredients done really well; fresh meats, crisp vegetables, soft bread straight from the oven. It's the kind of lunch that reminds you how good simple food can be when the ingredients are quality. The owner and staff always seem genuinely happy to be there, and it gives the whole place such a warm and welcoming feeling. They also have little Italian drinks, snacks, and specialty goodies that make it fun to grab something extra alongside your lunch. It's a smaller little shop, so I recommend taking your sandwich to go and eating over at the Sonoma Plaza. Such a special little spot in Sonoma.

I was doing a day of exploration in Sonoma --- mainly the missions --- and arrived somewhere…read morein-and-around Vallejo House. As I was heading back to the square (where there is an abundance of restaurants), I didn't want the busyness of the scene; thankfully, I got on Instagram, typed "good eats in Sonoma", and BAM! Salumeria Ovello popped up on my feed, and thank goodness it did! An easy 4-minute walk from Vallejo House, Salumeria Ovello is owned by Andrea, who is a Michelin-star chef from the area of Piedmont, Italy. Having been to Italy twice this past year alone, I remember quite well the quality and taste of the classed Italian Sandwiches. The worker who served at the counter was very helpful, and within the restaurant --- there are just a few seats. I'd say, 3 tables with two seats at each table. For my food, I decided to order the Massimo --- which is on "sliced Focaccia, and has sun dried tomatoes, stracciatella di burrata, prosciutto cotto, basil pesto and crumbled taralli (crackers)". Each sandwich is made fresh-to-order, and you can taste the quality. Each ingredient worked together in harmony, and to satisfy the americani in me, I definitely enjoyed the taralli in the sandwich --- reminded me of putting chips in my sandwiches in school. While I waited, Andrea also brought out some slices of salami for me to try --- free of charge, which was very kind of him to do. All in all, if you want to get away from the busyness of the Mission Square, take a 4-minute walk to Salumeria Ovello, and you'll find a little piece of Italy in Sonoma! Ciao tutti!

Winery is more of a casual and less uppity-feel compared to surrounding wineries in the area. Came here for a tasting with a few friends. We ordered a charcuterie plate and some bites to share. Family oriented and pet-friendly winery with a small play area for the kids. Parking lot is kinda small, had to park across at some other event that was going on.
