Assistant General Manager

Wit & Wisdom Sonoma is Chef Michael Mina’s first venture into wine country dining and delivers Mina’s signature flair with a highly curated culinary experience perfect for any time of day.

The restaurant features regional California cuisine cooked on a hearth oven buoyed by a magnificent wine program as only MINA delivers.  

About Wit and Wisdom

Wit & Wisdom Tavern is Chef Mina’s modern American concept inspired by Bay Area-based Jack London’s collection of personal writings and essays of the same name. Drawing upon bounty of the region, the warm California eatery will feature products from local Sonoma and Napa Valley artisans, hearth-oven cooking, and a wine list reflecting the unique varietals of the coveted area. Menu preparations will center around the restaurant’s variety of open-fire cooking methods: a wood-fired pizza oven, Josper Charcoal Oven, and wood-burning stove. Wit & Wisdom Tavern will serve lunch and dinner daily for resort guests and locals alike.
