Kenwood Inn one of Frommer’s Travel Best Vineyard Inns & Hotels Around the World


Frommer’s Travel included Kenwood Inn and Spa, among many stellar international properties, on their list of the Best Vineyard Inns & Hotels Around the World saying,

“Kenwood is well-positioned: Kunde Vineyards flanks the east, north and south of the property, offering guests beautiful views…Healdsburg and the Russian River Valley are 45 minutes to the north, but there are nearly 100 vineyards within 30 minutes of Kenwood. At the end of the day, refresh yourself in one of the three saltwater plunge pools, and enjoy the silence: the Inn also has a no-children policy.”
