76 Restaurants from across the country and Mexico receive inaugural ‘Magnum Award’
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (September 2, 2025) – Seventy-six restaurants spanning from Graton, California, to Greenwich, Connecticut, are being honored with the 2025 Sonoma County Magnum Award for their exceptional support and promotion of Sonoma County wines. Earlier this year, Sonoma County Winegrowers launched this new initiative to recognize restaurants that demonstrate outstanding support for Sonoma County wines and showcasing Sonoma County as a world-class wine region. Each restaurant will receive a uniquely etched magnum bottle, symbolizing their role as an ambassador for Sonoma County’s farmers, winemakers, and wines.
During the year, Sonoma County wineries submitted nominations of restaurants they felt were deserving of recognition. Input was also provided by partners, trade, and sommeliers from throughout the country. Restaurants were selected based on key criteria, including their commitment to showcasing a diverse range of producers, vintages, and AVAs; fostering strong partnerships with wineries; hosting or promoting winemaker dinners and special events; and thoughtfully highlighting Sonoma County wines through curated lists and pairings that celebrate the region’s rich agricultural legacy.
“When it comes to promoting and celebrating wines from Sonoma County, these restaurants are the best of the best,” said Karissa Kruse, president and chief executive officer of the Sonoma County Winegrowers. She added, “We created this award to recognize and thank restaurants for their efforts to showcase our wine. Our hope is that people will see the Magnum recognition and continue to support both the restaurant and Sonoma County wines.”
