Kenwood Inn and Spa Offers Romantic Mediterranean-style Retreat in Sonoma

The Kenwood Inn & Spa is a must-visit destination for local, regional and worldwide visitors, who are unvaryingly impressed by the Kenwood Inn's lavish pampering. Indeed, Conde Nast Traveler has listed the property on their Gold List since 2009 and readers of the magazine have included Kenwood on their "Best of" list for three years running, including the Inn on their Gold List in 2011 and 2010, naming the inn Top Small Resort in 2009 and Food & Wine magazine named the Kenwood Inn and Spa "best wine country retreat in California...10 best in the world" in 2008.

One only has to peak through the front door of the Kenwood Inn and Spa to grasp its natural beauty. The 2 ½ acre grounds of the Inn are literally alive with oak groves, walnut trees and fruit trees including: Meyer lemon, olive, pomegranate and fig. The Mediterranean-style villa has three lush courtyards - each with an exquisite saline swimming pool - fountains, a serene pond, meticulously landscaped flora, and abundant ivy cascading up, down, and around the Inn. Looking out beyond Kenwood's vibrant, Euro-rich beauty, guests are treated to vineyard vistas, which begin at the winery next door, and end at the horizon.



Private guestroom entrances lead into each of the secluded twenty-nine rooms and suites designed with guest privacy in mind. In-room indulgences include: fireplaces, featherbeds, Rivolta Carmignani Italian linens for both bed and bath, and plush cotton bathrobes. Visitors can appreciate the many, one-of-a-kind furnishings crafted in Italy especially for the Inn. In the spirit of offering strictly adult tranquility, each of the unique guest rooms does not offer television, but offers an in-room CD player with a selection of choice music options.

Look beyond the carefully selected list from the Inn’s cozy wine bar, and guests will find another level of wine enjoyment at Kenwood. The Spa is the first in the country to adopt the age-old European tradition of vinotherapy. Rejuvenating and protective anti-aging skin treatments based on grapevine-derived extracts have long been recognized by doctors and followers alike. The Spa specializes in body treatments and massages including: a wine soak, bath, wrap, scrub, massages, and facials with private-label, locally produced, organic, vinotherapeutic products. Other results oriented and pampering treatments are courtesy of Is Clinical, Éminence Organics and Intraceuticals.



The restaurant at the Kenwood Inn & Spa, helmed by Executive Chef Steven Snook, fresh from the restaurants of Gordon Ramsay, offers yet another compelling draw. The dining room, kept warm with a fireplace on cool nights, and open to the courtyard when weather permits, is for guests of the inn and spa only. Produce is from local farms, farmer's markets, and the properties own garden to create an artisanal Italian dinner menu of appetizers, salads, and entrees with high quality, fresh ingredients. Guests might consider dinner on the patio, or cozy up in the intimate wine bar.

Recognizing that The Kenwood Inn is a destination within a destination, the Inn’s concierge is highly adept at crafting an itinerary to suit a visitor's every whim. Grand winery architecture, olive farms, local cheese makers, cult cabernet, whatever travelers are in search of on their getaway, the Inn's local experts are the best suited in Sonoma County to map out the appropriate experience. Service is one of the inn’s distinguishing features offering 40 employees for a maximum of 60 guests during high season.

Business meets pleasure: If it isn't a private weekend sojourn a guest is after, the Kenwood Inn is also fully equipped to handle small meetings, retreats or reception needs. A 700 sq ft meeting room opens up to a courtyard view. The space has full, portable audio visual capabilities, flexible chair configurations, and an on-staff coordinator to see every event through from conception to catering.
