About Cornerstone Sonoma

Cornerstone Sonoma is the most genuinely unique wine-adjacent destination in Sonoma County, and possibly in all of California wine country. The 7-acre property on Arnold Drive in the Carneros corridor functions simultaneously as an internationally celebrated landscape design festival, an artisan marketplace, a culinary destination, and a wine tasting venue, creating an experience that has no parallel in wine country anywhere in the United States.

The 25 walk-through garden rooms designed by internationally celebrated landscape architects, including contributors from the San Francisco Landscape Architecture biennial, are permanent installations that evolve with the seasons. Each garden room offers a different aesthetic, sensory, and conceptual experience: from minimalist meditation spaces to exuberant botanical displays to conceptual artistic environments that challenge assumptions about what a garden can be.

The wine program, featuring Cornerstone's own sourced wines alongside a wine bar pouring wines from across Sonoma County, provides the ideal companion to the garden experience: a glass of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay enhances the contemplative walk through the installations in a way that no other beverage can. The culinary marketplace and restaurant round out what has become one of Sonoma County's most genuinely distinctive and category-defying visitor destinations.
