Our Story

Willi’s Wine Bar, a Sonoma County favorite since 2002, brings together locals and tourists alike to savor the laid-back elegance of Wine Country. Originally housed in a historic 1886 roadhouse, the beloved restaurant faced an unexpected chapter in 2017 when the Tubbs wildfire destroyed its original home. Yet, in true Wine Country spirit, Willi’s was reborn in 2019 at the Town & Country Center, where the iconic iron-forged sign continues to welcome guests.

The Starks, pioneers of the small-plates dining trend, invite you to enjoy an inventive menu inspired by global flavors. From the Moroccan-Style Barbecued Lamb Chops to the Ahi Tuna Tartare, each dish is thoughtfully paired with a robust selection of local wines and complemented by the addition of a full bar, offering expertly crafted cocktails. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a leisurely meal on the heated patio, our knowledgeable staff is eager to elevate your dining experience. Welcome back to Willi’s—a place where old favorites and new adventures await.

What the Locals Say

“Perhaps the most Wine Country restaurant of them all, this international small-plates wine bar is a required pilgrimage. One of seven Sonoma County restaurants owned by Chef Mark Stark and his wife, Terri, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the curried crab tacos are a favorite.”

Heather Irwin, Sonoma Magazine

Willi’s Wine Bar! The staff are always smiling and remember my order. I love the duck confit and creamy polenta. Be sure to treat yourself to the delicious butterscotch crème brûlée.

Maud Jean-Baptiste Chef-owner Maison Porcella, Windsor

Our visit to Willi’s was phenomenal! The beet salad, scallop dumplings, and lamb chops were perfectly cooked, with amazing sauces. Our waitress Lily and our bus person Max were exceptional, turning moments into memories. Highly recommend Willi’s, especially the outdoor seating!

Kurt G, from Yelp

"Willi’s has remained one of my favorite casual stops in Sonoma County."

Michael Bauer, former restaurant critic for the San Francisco Chronicle

Unable to get reservations, we grabbed a spot at Willi’s bar, which turned out to be perfect. The bartenders guided us through local wine flights, and the delicious small plates—lamb, carrots, scallops, pork belly, and more—kept us ordering all night.

TheMontana Maven, TripAdvisor

Ohhhh my I loved this so much. I do happen to love small plates, but all the flavors were fresh and new takes (for me!) and I find that rare and exciting! And what a perfect way to feel out for a meal. Wine flights a perfect offering and nice variety. I only wish I had ordered another goat cheese fritter. Delicioso.
