The eponymous SingleThread restaurant is the first and only three Michelin-starred restaurant in Sonoma County, with Japanese-inspired farm-to-table cuisine sourced just down the road from the Connaughtons’ 24 acres of biodiverse farmland. Inside, guests can choose from three different 10-course menu options (vegetarian, pescatarian and omnivore) with an optional wine pairing. Seasonal seafood and Japanese vegetables straight from SingleThread’s garden are paired with an exclusive variety of wines, from French champagne to German whites, California reds and traditional Japanese sake.

SingleThread is located in Healdsburg, California, about 9o miles from San Francisco. The closest airport to the Inn is Santa Rosa Airport (STS), which is 7.8 miles away from downtown Healdsburg. Other nearby airports include Sacramento (SMF), Oakland (OAK), and San Francisco International Airports (SFO), all of which are between a 1.5 to 2.5 hour drive away, dependent on traffic.

Perhaps the most exclusive amenity of all, every booking at the Inn comes with a guaranteed reservation at the SingleThread restaurant downstairs, named one of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2024. Booking a meal at the restaurant often requires signing up for a months-long waiting list, so nabbing a secured reservation is truly a game changer.

Guests of the hotel also have the option of a one-of-a-kind in-room donabe dinner experience, featuring a hotpot menu inspired by the day in Sonoma and sourced (just like the restaurant’s menu) from the SingleThread Farm. Options here include a choice of the Chicken & Pork Meatball Tan Tan Hot Pot, Wagyu Shabu Shabu Hot Pot or the Kyoto Vegetable and House Made Tofu Hot Pot, all served with donabe steamed rice, pickled vegetables and simmered green salad.

As the first and only three Michelin-starred restaurant in Sonoma County, SingleThread, a farm-driven restaurant and inn, offers a unique, authentic and highly coveted experience. With only five rooms, it’s an intimate property that feels like a high-end bed and breakfast, with top notch service and an outstanding food and beverage program.

An overnight stay includes complimentary multi-course Japanese, Sonoma or English breakfast options prepared by the SingleThread culinary team and delivered in-room or—by request—you can enjoy breakfast on the lovely rooftop as well.

The brainchild of Chef Kyle and Katina Connaughton, SingleThread was inspired by their California upbringing and many international travels.

The property offers just five elegantly appointed inn rooms on the premises, with all featuring custom furnishings, heated floors, Matouk linens, kitchenettes, Matcha makers, Japanese Sasawashi slippers and plush robes. In-room amenities abound, including a fully-stocked fridge with local cold-pressed juices and curated snacks (think housemade sweets and nuts from the SingleThread pastry team).

Amenity options run deep at SingleThread, from the fully stocked kitchenettes to the complimentary Japanese or Sonoma in-room breakfast experience. All guests of the Inn can take advantage of using a fully electric Audi e-tron for the duration of their stay, so they can experience all that Healdsburg—and the surrounding Sonoma and Napa Valleys—have to offer.

Sonoma County is a large wine producing region in California, full of both large international wineries and smaller family-owned estates. The area also offers a ton of outdoor activities, from beautiful winding bike paths to hot air balloon rides overlooking the rolling hills and vineyards. The county is close to the gorgeous Armstrong Redwoods State Preserve, featuring stunning hiking trails and within close proximity to the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean.
