Cinematic Sonoma

Longer days. Golden light. Wildflowers in bloom. It’s the perfect moment to plan your spring escape to Sonoma for the Sonoma International Film Festival, March 25–29.

For five unforgettable days, SIFF transforms Sonoma’s historic, charming, and fully walkable town into a vibrant celebration of cinema and culture from across the globe. Catch world premieres and buzzworthy indies by day. Discover acclaimed features, revelatory documentaries, and must-see shorts — a lineup designed to move you, surprise you, and linger long after the credits roll.

Between screenings, wander Sonoma’s iconic plaza, where tasting rooms, chef-driven restaurants, boutique shops, and hidden speakeasies await. No fuss. No sprawl. Just films, friends, fresh air, and that unmistakable Sonoma glow.

Meet filmmakers. Stay for Q&As with emerging talent and established stars. Celebrate at nightly parties that stretch into warm spring evenings.

This adventure is part film festival, part wine country getaway, and entirely Sonoma cinematic scenery!

Go all in with a full-festival pass — from the kickoff soirée to the closing toast — or curate your own perfect weekend of films, food, wine, and festivities. Plan Your Festival Weekend in Sonoma
