    • Spaces for 40 Guests

    Shin Dig Sonoma is a 2.5-acre private estate nestled in rural West Petaluma, in the heart of Sonoma County's wine country. Founded by Stephanie and Shlomo Franco — seasoned hospitality professionals who relocated from San Francisco in 2020 — the property was thoughtfully transformed over four years through extensive landscaping and construction: more than 70 trees were relocated, a new pool was built, and a 1,200-square-foot covered pavilion was added, surrounded by over 80 flourishing olive, citrus, fig, and fruit trees. The estate offers four distinct outdoor areas suited for weddings, milestone celebrations, and corporate retreats: an intimate olive grove, a spacious willow lawn adjacent to the pool, an open-air pool deck, and a modern-farmhouse pavilion with a full kitchen. Recent enhancements include a flourishing garden, ADA-accessible pathways, grand staircases, and a fire pit with Adirondack seating. Shin Dig Sonoma combines rustic, chic elegance with thoughtful hospitality, designed for events where guests feel welcomed, celebrated, and inspired against the backdrop of Sonoma's wine country.
