For thirty years, Lissa Doumani and Hiro Sone have opened the doors of Terra to locals and visitors, offering a skillful and warmly executed menu with influences from California, Japan, and Europe.

Now, despite years of earning a Michelin star and many other accolades, the married couple will close Terra’s doors, largely the result of staffing shortages in a region plagued by high prices and little housing inventory. After the Wine Country fires, it became even harder as displaced residents flooded the housing market — “rightfully so,” said Doumani. But, still, it became the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“It’s not something we’d been considering in any real way,” says Doumani. “It just kept getting harder and harder, and we are getting older and older.” The pair had recently renewed a ten year lease on Terra’s home, an historic building that also houses their smaller offshoot, Bar Terra.
