WINE BAR / LOUNGE (21 & Up ONLY)
Whether you are local to Sonoma, or visiting from afar, we invite you to stop by The Panel, to taste our diverse wines by the glass. We offer unique reds, whites, rosés, sparklings, and Champagnes daily.

It is a space where we encourage wine lovers of all expertise to come together to experience new & unique wines from around the world. We will try to accomodate whatever small-bite flavor notes you seek, beautifully paired with our wines - by the glass or by the bottle!

We also offer distinctive craft brews on tap and San Francisco's Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters espresso, as well as unique and unexpected "small bites" (and "sweet bites") to accompany your libation of choice.
