Sip the Season: Sonoma Spritz

With the celebration of 200 years of Sonoma Wine concentrating on the "Year of the Vintner' for the 2025 harvest, the bars and restaurants of Sonoma Valley turn to the Sonoma Spritz cocktail to show off what can be done with a bit of rose, some fig syrup and some bubbly soda water. This twist on the Spritz uses local Sonoma Valley ingredients, and local mixologists will provide their creative interpretations throughout the summer.

This light, vibrant cocktail captures the essence of wine country in a single glass—showcasing local rosé, the rich sweetness of fig, and a citrusy sparkle that feels just right for summer sipping.
