About

Located just steps from the US Capitol Building, Sonoma restaurant and Wine Bar has become the premier location on Capitol Hill to hold events.

The Private Dining Room, located on the 2nd floor, is ideal for a cocktail reception for up to 60 guests or a seated dinner for up to 40. This space is elegantly decorated in neural shades, accented by the huge dramatic skylights.

The adjacent Avenue Lounge is a large, modern space overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue. This space can accommodate up to 125 guests for a cocktail reception and is ideal for networking events.

For larger events for up to 300 guests, the entire restaurant can be converted into a dazzling event space.

Sonoma’s event food selections have been designed to mirror the same high quality and ethos of the restaurant. With choices from house made charcuterie boards, to artisanal cheese boards, from mini crab cakes to house made truffles, our canapé selection has something to delight all tastes.

Sonoma’s award winning wine program, with 40 wines by the glass, coupled with the delicious, seasonal dishes and friendly, knowledgeable staff create a perfect venue for a small intimate gathering or a huge holiday party! And with surprisingly low prices for a Capitol Hill location, Sonoma should most definitely be on your list!

We had our wedding in the upstairs event space at Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar. It was the perfect space for our wedding. Roneeka was amazing to work with and she was super flexible and quickly returned updated contracts when we needed to make changes to our catering order. She met with us several times to go through the menu and explain detials. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to have the wedding at Sonoma.

Our guest described our reception as intimate! Which is what we wanted. We hosted our wedding reception for 100 guests at Sonoma on March 9, 2013. The food was delicious and the bar selections satisfied the preferences for all of our guests. Roneeka was a pleasure to work with during the planning stages and the chef selected and prepared a lovely assortment of Canapé. Sonoma was one of our first date restaurants; we loved it so much we selected it for our wedding reception. We will be celebrating many more life events at Sonoma.
