| Enclos Sonoma |
From Michelin-starred restaurants and acclaimed wineries to award-winning museums and one of America’s top hotel bars, the latest recognition highlights the extraordinary depth and diversity of Sonoma County tourism.
Michelin Recognition Raises the Culinary Bar
One of the biggest stories is Enclos Sonoma, which has risen from two Michelin stars to three in the 2026 Bay Area Michelin Guide awards. The achievement places Enclos Sonoma in the guide’s highest tier and makes it the only restaurant to receive three stars in the 2026 Bay Area awards.
The restaurant first entered the Michelin Guide with two stars in 2025, just six months after opening, making its rapid rise particularly remarkable.
Sonoma County also welcomed new Michelin recognition for Troubadour, which earned its first Michelin star. Meanwhile, SingleThread retained its prestigious three-star rating as well as its Michelin Green Star for environmental sustainability and stewardship. Cyrus maintained its one-star rating.
For travellers planning a Sonoma County food and wine getaway, these honours add even more reasons to explore the region’s celebrated culinary scene.
Bib Gourmand Dining Adds More Choice
Sonoma County’s culinary appeal extends beyond Michelin-starred dining. The Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand selections recognise restaurants offering high-quality cuisine at more accessible prices.
The latest selections include El Molino Central, Valley Bar + Bottle, Glen Ellen Star, Khom Loi, Ramen Gaijin and Stockhome.
Together, these restaurants demonstrate that exceptional dining in Sonoma County comes in many forms, from innovative contemporary cuisine to comforting and flavourful local favourites.
Museums and Culture Earn National Attention
