Kenwood inn & Spa
A charming and lush Tuscan villa-style property tucked away
in the rolling hills of a bucolic Sonoma Valley village, Kenwood
Inn offers its guests quiet
elegance and luxurious ameni-
ties. Relax and rejuvenate
among soaring palm trees,
mature walnut and citrus trees
and tranquil water features,
including an operating water-
wheel
Yards from the private,
guests-only restaurant is a small garden from which their chef
sources not only produce but inspiration for his daily menus.
The predominately California-Mediterranean fare features au-
thentic rustic dishes using the bounty of products available on-
site from the inn's garden and from the county's best farmers,
cheese makers, and ranchers.
According to Chef John Schafer, "Farm to Table is much more
than a trend to me, it's a way of life. It is not only fresher and
tastier, it is a way of supporting your local farmers, and building
a stronger community. I take pride in growing much of our own
produce and herbs on property along with many fresh fruits
that give us a bountiful harvest. I love that Sonoma County has
an abundance of fresh and local produce, to make Farm to Table
a viable and successful way of life."
This European-style hideaway offers 29 guestrooms with
beautiful antique furniture, heavy velvet drapes, featherbeds,
cozy fireplaces, and Italian linens make you feel as though
you've been transported to another land in another era.
Turn your smartphone off, set your email to the "out of the of-
fice" mode and prepare to reconnect with nature while treating
all of your senses at these luxurious farm-to-table inns.
