Sonoma for Film, Food, Wine, and Fun

Sonoma International Film Festival

03.19.2025

Exquisite food experiences, extraordinary wine and cocktail/mocktails, exceptional films, and super fun parties: Spring into Sonoma March 19 - 23 for the Sonoma International Film Festival (SIFF).

This year’s festival lineup is incredible—from travel documentaries to feature films with stars like Joan Chen, Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, and Gabriel Garcia Bernal. And it all happens in one of the world's most beautiful places: Sonoma.

Journey with Meg Ray, founder of the Bay Area’s famed patisserie, Miette, to Sweden’s remote and magical island of Rödlöga, where you'll be immersed in this Sweet Störy about love, letting go, and sourdough!

See a newly imagined version of Ang Lee’s 1993 classic, The Wedding Banquet, with Joan Chen, Lily Gladstone, and Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang.

Don’t miss the Studio 54 Disco Party at Hopmonk (yes, you should dress “disco”) and check out other events and parties and food experiences around town.

Drop in at pop-ins: Sonoma’s local restaurants will have small bites to pair with Sonoma wines.

Spring into one of the West's best celebrations of culture, cuisine, community, and cinema.
