A Seasonal Menu Inspired by Northern California Ingredients

At Wickson, exceptional meals begin with a deep respect for the land. Our menu shifts to highlight the freshest, peak-season Northern California ingredients, sourced carefully from local purveyors and farms. Designed for both communal enjoyment and indulgent dining, our culinary offerings feature:

• Artisanal Sharing Plates: Perfectly sized starters and small bites cooked under the intense heat of our wood-fired oven, ideal for kickstarting a shared dining experience.
• Hearty Mains: Robust, comforting entrées that masterfully combine premium proteins with vibrant, locally grown seasonal vegetables.
• Stellar Wine List: No dinner in Philo is complete without the perfect pairing. Our curated wine program proudly showcases acclaimed Anderson Valley labels, celebrating the very best cool-climate pinot noirs, alsatian whites, and sparkling wines the valley has to offer.
