This is a not to be missed fine dinning experience!
What you will see on the elaborate $225 tasting menu, paid in advance with the addition of tax and 20 percent service charge, is a Japan-meets-Sonoma progression of 11 courses, starting with a magnificent presentation of wood covered in moss and delicate flowers that serves as a base for nine or 10 bite-size appetizers set on the table just before guests are seated. The roof top lounge is wonderful. Make your reservation early as this is a very popular destination.

A superb fine dinning restaurant which is a romantic destination for the locals that has flare with old world decor, vineyard views & terrace seating.
Nestled next to Vintners Inn, John Ash & Co. was the first Sonoma County restaurant to introduce the concept of cooking with seasonal, local foods and produce while pairing exceptional recipes with wines from the region.
Today, John Ash & Co., in our opinion, remains an icon for gourmet, wine country dining with Executive Chef Thomas Schmidt continuing the standards of cooking excellence enjoyed by locals and guests alike.
