Sonoma International Film Festival March

Each spring, Sonoma turns into a walkable circuit of screenings, tastings, conversations, and after-hours events. Expect a curated mix of films paired with the region’s signature pleasures: great food, great wine, and a town that knows how to host. It’s the kind of week where afternoons belong to the theater, and evenings lean into celebration.
