Kenwood’s Natural World
August 18 - 3:42 pm
Guests come to Kenwood to get away from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives and the din of the city. Our lushly landscaped property is a balm to the spirit, filled with rich greenery, bubbling ponds and fragrant flowers.
We’re surrounded by 40 acres of protected woodlands and wetlands, which are home to many forest creatures that occasionally find their way onto our grounds. We’ve had a visit from a river otter and have several frogs who live in the Wheelhouse pond. Timid deer nibble in our gardens, and field mice and garter snakes help keep our ecosystem in balance.
While we do our best to keep these visitors to a minimum, nature has a mind of her own. Should you be lucky enough to spot a critter, chalk it up to the fact that Kenwood is located in a region that is proud of its rural, agricultural roots and is striving to keep it that way.

A Spectacular New Chef Takes Over the Kitchen at Kenwood Inn & Spa
August 7 - 10:16 am
A graduate of the California Culinary Institute in San Francisco, Kenwood Inn and Spa’s new chef, Andrea Di Loreto, is a diminutive dynamo who seems to have her finger (and fork) on the pulse of wine country cuisine. Blessed with access to an array of fruit on the property—think apples, pears, pomegranates and figs—and an abundance of lush farm products nearby, Kenwood has made a winning selection.
With a bent toward the ingredients of the Mediterranean and Italy (those are her roots after all!), Andrea is composing light, bright flavors in her dishes sprinkled judiciously with rich comforts like guanciale combined with her wood-fired asparagus. Especially exciting is her take on King salmon; a lovely nestle of rich fish, filled with Shrimp and Spinach with Lemon Beurre Blanc and Herb Oil and sitting on a satisfying Dill Potato Cake.
Breakfast, which is a complimentary daily offering to guests, is a real treat. A beautifully composed and delicious plate of three items satisfy morningtime cravings for both sweet and savory. A standout is the Braised Egg with Roasted Peppers and Spinach Puree on Yukon Gold Potatoes, Ricotta Pancake with House Made Strawberry Preserves and Fennel Sausage with Fennel Puree.
Desserts, being produced by recent CIA graduate Khambay Khamsyvoravong, are refreshingly delicious and oh, so beautiful. Her Bittersweet Chocolate and Caramel Ganache Tart with Salted Caramel Ice Cream is sweet and salty in its best combination.

“Think of it as a romantic destination in and of itself.”
Lovely lifestyle blog Linen and Lavender offered a glowing review of Kenwood Inn and Spa recently, making note of the attention to detail that makes Kenwood so elegant, such as freshly pressed linens daily.
Linen and Lavender also encourages guests to make Kenwood Inn and Spa the destination, rather than just a place to stay on a Sonoma visit.
“Each night, we looked longingly as we passed the candle-lit courtyard with its fountain and fireplace creating a magical atmosphere … wishing we were about to partake in whatever was sending the enticing aromas wafting by. We realized then that instead of driving out to reservations elsewhere, we’d much prefer staying right where we were—enjoying the wine bar and lingering over dinner with just a short walk to our beautiful room.”
