Sonoma's Got the Best Spring Film + Food Fest

Enjoy the Sonoma International Film Festival

03.06.2024

Exquisite food and famous chefs (Susan Feniger!), exceptional wine (Sonoma!), interesting films (Ethan Hawke's "Wildcat"); and super fun parties (Gay-LA Disco!): Spring into Sonoma March 20 to 24 for the Sonoma International Film Festival (SIFF).

This year’s festival really pours on the charm—and the bubbles—with culinary events including a multi-course dinner with renowned chef Susan Feniger; a dance party by Gay-LA Disco, and—of course— movies: over 100 features, shorts, and documentaries.

Toast the U.S. premiere of Widow Clicquot (Opening Night); see Ethan Hawke’s Wildcat, starring his daughter, Stranger Things star Maya Hawke; and choose from a multitude of features, shorts, and documentaries.

All the film venues are within walking distance of Sonoma’s historic plaza. Get your glass of wine, grab some popcorn, then kick back and watch great film. In between all the fun, take in some Best Supporting Scenery: Sonoma!

All the Wright Stuff
Avoiding drama? That’s a good thing. Unless you’re talking about campsites. In that case, the more dramatic the better! And Wright’s Beach on the Sonoma Coast is quite the drama queen—27 campsites sitting smack dab in the middle of the wild and raging Sonoma Coast State Beach.

Secret Redwoods + Camping by the River
Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is a little-known gem where skyscraping reds (the tallest living trees in the world!) fly under the radar. Grizzly’s ironically small size and location off the beaten path provide near total seclusion, not to mention relaxing camping!
