Sonoma Terrace

Nice patio terrace with a view of Paradise Pier and the California food establishments area. Solid selection of California craft beers and then some. Relaxing atmosphere with a good view and a chance go get away with light music, light breeze and a tasty craft beer (or wine)

This is a hidden escape for a midday siesta, perfect for an afternoon break to get away from the crowds and rest your tired feet. They offer a wide selection of craft beers (from local breweries in Anaheim and the surrounding areas, as well as throughout the state), wine and bar bites. I always get a glass of the MacMurray Pinot Noir — smooth and not too bright. If it’s a hot day, I get a glass of the bubbly sparkling wine. They serve all drinks here in to-​go plastic cups, so if you’re on the go you can take your drink with you (yes you can actually walk around California Adventure with a glass of booze!).
The line here can get long late in the afternoon, once adults start getting exhausted from the Disney Magic and need a break to drink. Next to the counter, they have lots of tables in a peaceful shaded area, complete with Spanish guitar music piped through the speakers. If you come during the right time of the afternoon, the seating area is perfect viewing for the Pixar parade.
I highly recommend stopping by for a quick rest and drink if you’re in the park!

I always passed by this place thinking it was a super fancy wine place at California Adventures, so I never thought to try it. My boyfriend is really into beers on tap so he’s been wanting to try it out. There is a pretty good beer selection and while I’m not a big beer drinker, there are other options too. I got the California cider and it was delicious!
I mostly like the seating area because it’s a hidden relaxation spot if your feet are getting tired from walking all over the park. A good place to enjoy a beer, wine or cider!

Great beer selection but DONT get the cheese plate. I was craving a cheese platter but so not worth it.

My favorite place to grab a beer at DCA! It is tucked away from the main attractions and therefore overlooked by many people. Shaded seating is a plus. It is never overcrowded, and being a premium pass holder I sometimes come down just to pass the afternoon here and people watch.

Sonoma Terrace is a great place in DCA to grab a beer or glass of wine and sit and relax. It is a bit more tucked away than other places in the park and has plenty of shaded seating. Although a bit more expensive, it’s worth it to be able to relax in the shade, away from the hustle and bustle.

We are visiting both Disneyland and California Adventure with our daughter and granddaughters. A moment of quiet filled with mellow music in the shaded terrace and excellent beer. It just doesn’t get any better than this. A hidden gem indeed!

This is such a great place to grab a beer or glass of wine. It’s very relaxed, there’s plenty of seating & even some outlets in case you need to charge your electronics. The best part is that it’s right off a main walkway! I’ve passed by this place so many times only to have to settle for a blue moon or other drink somewhere else in DCA.
Being an AP, now that I know this is here I will be sure to make a pit stop when I’m in the mood for a drink. They also serve cheese platters and pretzels in case you want something to munch on.

Nice hidden gem out of the hassle and bustle with a great selection of craft brew for a quick pitstop. Always on my list as a stop in point when making the rounds through California Adventure.

I love this place. I’m a Premium Annual Passholder and sometimes want to find a place nice and quiet. I feel like this is a little hidden gem. Has a good variety if Cali craft beers and wines. It’s also shaded and barely crowded.
If you’re a parent, really tired and need a drink? Here’s a place for your kids to nap and you to take a nice sip. This has a more mature setting. There’s even cheese and pretzel plates available!

Oasis out of the heat and bustle of CA, great place to sip a full size beer outside and people watch. Great pergola and shade.
Huge beverage selection.

I love this little secret in California Adventure. Usually the crowd that comes here are a bit more mature than those who go to the beer truck near paradise pier. They have higher alcohol content beers, and a good selection of wines. The drinks are a bit more expensive, but what’s one or two more dollars for a beer thats 9.2% ABV compared to 7%?
It’s worth the money, the atmosphere is much better and quieter than most places at California Adventure. Do yourself a favor and give this place a visit. I recommend the Brother Thelonius beer, cheers!

The only place in California Adventure where I can grab a beer and relax. Beer choices are great, prices range from $ 7-​$ 9 and the alcohol percentage goes as high as 9%. nothing greater than grabbing an ice cold beer on a hot sunny day at CAA!

Want to take a break from the masses? Head over to this quiet, out of the way spot opposite of Pacific Wharf, connected to Wine Country Trattoria restaurant. There’s a long, secluded bar with plenty of decent craft brews and wines available. Soda and water is available if you’re bringing your kids to this spot. Several outdoor tables are scattered around the patio. This was the perfect spot to sit, relax, and grab a cold one. It was a great respite from fighting through the holiday crowds. It’s amazing how less stressed I feel after having a drink or two.
