Sonoma Valley Author's Festival

The Sonoma Valley Authors Festival is a vibrant, three-day literary event that brings together curious minds to hear from leading authors across a range of genres. Modeled after the dynamic “TED Talk” format, the Festival features both main stage presentations and intimate breakout sessions, where speakers delve into their latest books as well as cutting-edge developments in science, technology, medicine, and pressing societal issues.

In an era where true listening is rare and thoughtful dialogue is more essential than ever, the Festival offers a space for meaningful exchange. Attendees are lifelong learners who value enriching experiences over material things; come for the intellectual stimulation, the inspiring conversations, and the chance to be part of a community that values curiosity, civility, and purpose-driven travel.
