Of course it's doable! Yountville is about 25-30 minutes from Sonoma. You would be on a two-lane highway for half the ride, and freeway for the other half.
We have enjoyed our meals at Girl and the Fig in Sonoma. Also, I love the patio dining at Della Santina. It is quite charming. Both places are near the Plaza.
Others will give you first-hand recommendations of other places. Most of my experience is in the Napa Valley.

How about the General's Daughter in Sonoma? I ate there in November. The food was wonderful. The restaurant is in a beautifully renovated 1870's victorian home.
I also ate at the Girl and the Fig. It was very good but I would recommend the General's Daughter of the Girl and the Fig.

Definitely make reservations as soon as possible. Also, I don't recall any freeway between Sonoma and Yountville. We took the Oakville Grade, after hitting Highway 29, you go south for a few miles and you are in Yountville.

Would not advise the Oakville Grade unless you want a very turny-twisty slow climb up and then over down into Oakville-and definetly not post dinner after drinks. I will give you that it is quite scenic.
The easiset way to from Yountville from Sonoma would be Hwy 12/121 (the 2 lane
country road part) that intersects with Hwy 29 just south of Napa town-which is a 4 lane divided freeway at that point and continues north to Yountville where (29)goes to 2 lanes. There are alot of stoplights on the highway as you travel through Napa town.
There's probably no wild vines, just a
lot of California Highway Patrol officers on the lookout for drunk drivers.
Now as for a few other restaurants we enjoy over in Sonoma town:
Meritage
Harvest Moon
Carneros Bistro
Swiss Hotel
Cafe la Haye
You won't be wanting for some great
dining in Sonoma town.
