About the Restaurant

Valley opened in July 2020 in the Leese-Fitch Adobe on the west side of the Sonoma Plaza. It was founded by two couples who met at Scribe Winery: chefs Emma Lipp and Stephanie Reagor run the kitchen, while Lauren Feldman and Tanner Walle run the front of house. Lipp and Reagor were James Beard Award semifinalists in 2026.

The food is seasonal California home cooking, and the wine list and bottle shop focus on organically, biodynamically and regeneratively farmed wines. The Michelin Guide lists it as a Bib Gourmand.
