Farmers’ Markets & Farm Stands of Napa and Sonoma

May 27, 2025 | Beyond the Tasting Room

Wooden crate labeled "Farmer's Market" filled with fresh produce, including tomatillos, chili peppers, basil, blackberries, and garlic, with blueberries scattered on a rustic wooden surface.

Before the wine, there was the land—and it’s still feeding more than just grapes. Napa and Sonoma are home to a thriving network of farmers’ markets and roadside stands, each one brimming with whatever’s freshest, ripest, and most delicious that week. From sweet summer berries and sun-warmed heirloom tomatoes to just-harvested honey and artisanal cheeses, these markets give you a taste of wine country most visitors overlook. It’s not curated or pretentious—just real food, grown by real people, in one of the most abundant regions on earth.

This list is not exhaustive, and most markets and stands are seasonal—so check ahead before visiting. Sonoma County is roughly twice the size of Napa Valley and more rural overall, which is why you’ll find a greater number of farmers’ markets and roadside stands scattered throughout its backroads and small towns.
