About The Lodge
The Lodge at Dawn Ranch is a culinary sanctuary nestled along the Russian River in Guerneville, California, where the rhythms of Northern California's seasons meet the fire, warmth, and heritage of South America.
This app is the digital home of The Lodge at Dawn Ranch — a place where guests can explore our ever-evolving seasonal menus, meet the chefs behind the kitchen, discover our curated wine and spirits program, and reserve a table for an unforgettable dinner. It brings together the stories, flavors, and people that define our restaurant, making it easy for diners to plan a visit, learn about our culinary philosophy, and stay connected with special events like the Collector's Cellar wine dinner series.
The Lodge is built for guests and travelers seeking a thoughtful, farm-to-fork dining experience in Sonoma County — locals celebrating a special occasion, weekend visitors exploring wine country, and food lovers curious about the intersection of California bounty with Brazilian and Argentine tradition. Whether you are joining us for the multi-course tasting menu, a relaxed evening in the lounge, or a glass of natural wine at the bar, this app is designed to welcome you in and help you find your place at our table.
Behind The Lodge at Dawn Ranch are Co-Executive Chefs Juliana Thorpe and Ignacio Zuzulich, whose Argentine and Brazilian roots shape every dish, alongside a team dedicated to seasonal excellence, artisanal technique, and sustainable sourcing from the farms, fisheries, and producers of Northern California. The Lodge is part of the Dawn Ranch hospitality collective, and this app is maintained by our team to share our culinary journey with you.
