Site Visit to Kenwood Inn & Spa in Sonoma County

Kenwood Inn & Spa is located in the heart of Sonoma County's lush Valley of the Moon. It is ideally situated to explore many world-class wineries — such as Kunde, Kenwood and St. Francis — along the Highway 12 corridor. The property is located about 90 minutes by car from San Francisco Airport and about 30 minutes from Sonoma County Airport.

The intimate property features 30 guest rooms, each with a private entrance. All rooms feature king-sized platform beds, except for one room that features two queen beds. Each spacious room is modern, luxurious and tastefully appointed with elegant furnishings in a calm, warm palette. Many rooms feature private patios or balconies.

The attentive and personalized service at Kenwood Inn & Spa sets it apart as a truly exceptional destination. Upon checking in, one is welcomed with a glass of wine. The inn offers a complimentary, homemade breakfast each day in the charming La Cucina in the Centro Courtyard. There is a wine tasting hour from 5 to 6 pm each evening in The Wine Bar located in the Centro Courtyard featuring a different local winery and small bites. Homemade cookies are also a welcome daily treat.

The Kenwood Spa features soothing massages, including couples' massages. The heated saline pool is surrounded by prolific fruit trees, including orange, persimmon, apple and fig. Take a dip in the pool, unwind in the tranquil gardens or tuck into a private poolside cabana for two and enjoy a nap, a good book or a glass of wine and small bites while relaxing on plush lounges.

Explore the beauty of Sonoma’s Valley of the Moon with a variety of activities available right at your doorstep. Taste wine at one of the many wineries along the scenic Highway 12 corridor. Set out on a scenic hike through the surrounding hills in nearby Annadel State Park. For those seeking adventure, hot air balloon rides and cycling tours are also available.

I highly recommend Kenwood Inn & Spa for couples seeking a serene, romantic escape in the heart of Sonoma wine country. This property is perfect for a weekend getaway, a honeymoon, babymoon or for the wine connoisseur who wants a central location from which to explore the wineries along the scenic Highway 12 corridor. The Kenwood Inn and Spa promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and utterly pampered.
