Neighborhood highlights

Kenwood is a quiet hamlet on the Highway 12 Wine Trail in the Sonoma Valley. The scenery is gorgeous - from vineyards and wide open fields studded with ancient oaks to rolling hills and dramatic mountains. We are in a bucolic setting with nice neighbors who also host guests on their properties.

We are approximately 20 minutes from Sonoma Plaza, 30 minutes from Healdsburg, and one hour north of San Francisco. It's the perfect launching point for wine-tasting excursions in both the Sonoma and Napa Valleys, visits to the Pacific coast, botanical gardens, shopping, hiking, biking and golf. The cottage has plenty of local guidebooks, as well as a pin board with an ever-changing array of restaurant menus and winery activities.

There are more than two dozen wineries and tasting rooms nearby, including St. Francis, Chateau St. Jean, St. Anne's Crossing, VJB, Ty Caton, Landmark, Kenwood, Kunde, and Ledson. There are many notable restaurants a short drive from the property and three Michelin star restaurants in Sonoma County.
