We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon tasting at the winery- Emily guided us through our tasting and made us feel so welcome. They even welcomed our dog, which was really kind. The Pinot noirs there are really wonderful- if you do the tasting, you will get to try a few different ones to compare.. I won't say my favorite but you should try them all and see what you think! Oh and also, the grounds are beautifully well kept- look at the gorgeous flowers at the front as you walk in!

We were very excited to each have our own rooms with attached bathrooms, and felt like QUEENS... I personally was in Room #6 upstairs with a cute little balcony. The bed was so luxurious and ridiculously comfortable that it made it really hard to get out of bed and face the day (side note: they are clearly brand-new beds and incorrectly spoken about on that negative review, so take that one with a grain of salt, SMH); Some had deep jetted tubs, some had ADA walk-in showers, something to accommodate everyone's needs! Each bathroom even had extra amenities you wouldn't expect like make-up remover and cotton balls - such a nice touch! One thing I was worried about was the traffic noise at night, but it was not an issue at all, which just shows that the insulation renovations that were completed really were impeccable and every last comfort was thought of for their guests. Access to the kitchen and laundry facilities was also a huge plus as well for last minute weather needs! I highly recommend this gem in Sonoma County when you book your next wine country adventure! =)

If you require peace, quiet and a comfortable bed, don't waste your money here. We feel totally…read moreripped off. My wife and I have been lucky enough to travel the country over the decades. This place is, by far, the most uncomfortable stay at any place, ever. History be damned. We were in a room RIGHT next to a main road that provided road and car noise all night long. It was LOUD. For myself, I experienced the worst two nights of 'sleep' that I can remember because of the noise and a mattress that should have been discarded YEARS ago. The gas fireplace didn't work. Zero instructions on how to get it lit. YouTubed how to get it lit, still didn't work. The condiment on this shit sandwich of a stay was the veranda outside our room having a security camera pointed directly toward the outside furniture where you'd sit. Zero chance of having ANY privacy. Its creepy and total bullshit. We can tell the place is owned by people that could not care less about the comfort of the guests, you're just income for them. Who puts cameras in private areas? We couldn't have disliked the place any more than we did. The place is a joke. It sure made a rough stay in Santa Rosa.

After researching and visiting several locations to accommodate our wine country wedding for about…read more75 attendees, including 10 children, we booked Kenwood Gardens. Most of our attendees were coming in from out of town so it was important for us to show them a memorable wine county experience complete with beautiful views, excellent food, great wine and memorable venue. Kenwood delivered across the board at a very reasonable price. The grounds were perfect for our wedding. The barn was ideal for the size of our party and the grounds outside allowed the kids to play safely but away from the adult fun. We booked a Friday evening wedding which gave great flexibility on dates with venue and caterers. Kenwood catered the event and even coordinated with many local food vendors to ensure our favorite breads, cheeses, cakes and beer were there for the sampling. They also helped us find a very good DJ who kept people dancing all night. The Kenwood wines were a nice option given the price and the beer selection was very good. We found Lorin to be helpful in planning the event but realize if you don't get the full planning package you'll need to do some heavy lifting yourself leading up to the event. I'd recommend the 'day of' planning package. If you're reading this review to find a venue for your wedding congratulations, I highly recommend Kenwood Gardens.

Just on Wednesdays they serve prime rib. We were blown away by how good it was. We have been…read moregoing to the House of Prime Rib in San Francisco for many years; this was BETTER! Glenda was our server and was wonderful. Michael Macrae is the Chef and we told him our feelings, also to the personable owner Kenneth - both appreciative of our sentiments. Their sides of large French fried - like potatoes with a divine spicy red sauce and mushroom puree, along with a first course of fresh vegetables to dip in an amazing white cream sauce, were spectacular. Our only concern is that the prime rib is on a trial basis for now. We can only encourage others to support it and hope that this will become a permanent option and obviate the need for us to go into SF for our prime rib hit (we live in Santa Rosa)! Nice atmosphere, nice decor, "happening" friendly feeling.

A huge thank you to Kenneth for the warm hospitality, welcoming charm, and for his attention to every detail--and to Tyler for his excellent customer service.

Festive, colorful, and fun without feeling overdone like Brewster's or Waterhawk. Just the right balance. The view of the golf course from our table was beautiful, especially with the fall colors showing off in all their glory. Our reservation for a party of nine was accommodated perfectly with a comfortably sized table. Everyone found something delicious on the menu, and their special holiday cocktails were a hit. A couple of us even tried the mystery shot, which arrived in the cutest little Christmas shot glass. Our server was patient, kind, and wonderfully tolerant of our lively group of women. Prices were very reasonable, and the entire experience felt warm and festive. If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy a holiday meal and snap some fun seasonal photos, Iron & Vine is the place.

(I hope they decorate more and more next year... truly make it a "takeover" like the name suggests.) Embracing the season, we started with some holiday "naughty and nice" shots ..haha.. horchata & fireball. Sweet, tasty, and came served in take-home holiday shot glasses. From there, we ordered a couple more themed cocktails, both were stronger than expected. All in all, it was just a fun start to the meal. I ordered the eggs benedict and every part of the dish was exactly as you would hope - crisped but soft english muffin, yolky poached egg, griddled smoky ham slice, and a creamy hollandaise. It was perfect! The home fries that accompanied were equally as tasty and just tied it all up with a starchy bow. Others in my group enjoyed their choices as well, with the chicken and waffles being another favorite. Service was so excellent! She was just so friendly and engaging and professional. Thank you! We are not golfers and we will ABSOLUTELY be back next year!

Chateau St. Jean was the venue of my good friend Sarah's wedding on 06/14/2025. This beautiful…read morewinery is located in the small town of Kenwood, which is on the north end of the Sonoma Valley. The history of this winery can be traced back to the 1920s, when a rich mining family moved west from Michigan and purchased the land where it sits on. The winery business actually started in the 1970s by several businessmen from the San Joaquin Valley. 50+ years later, it remains one of the more recognizable names in the NorCal wine industry. I got here with my buddy David A. and his wife at around 4:15pm. The first thing that struck me was the tranquility. I was dealing with a major protest in my city that morning, so the peacefulness was truly appreciated by me. Aside from that, nature's beauty was on full display. The sky was blue, the hills were green, and the temperature was a perfect 72F. Sarah couldn't have asked for a better day to have her wedding! The ceremony was held in a covered area near the chateau, with seating set up for 100-150 guests. After the ceremony, a pre-reception cocktail party was held in the courtyard area. After about an hour or so, the dinner reception was held under the giant palm tree. The food and service for the entire event were fantastic. From appetizers to main course to desserts, the food was well prepared and delicious. Service provided by the staff was friendly and attentive. There were a couple minor hitches during the reception, but they resolved them quickly. Chateau St. Jean is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. As a non-drinker, I don't know enough about their wine to have an opinion on their quality, but I think you will really enjoy the serene setting.

In long These guys are low-key in their packaging and low-key in their approach to self-promotion, but their craft is exceptionally good, especially at the price points they occupy. I've been a club member for most of the last 10+ years and the worst problem is I keep opening stuff even when I should save a bottle or two to try with more age on it. They source mostly (if not entirely) local fruit to produce a nice variety of reds, a couple whites, and the occasional pink. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, some tremendously. They pride themselves on their pinots, which have some heft to them, with tons of flavor, all perfectly in balance. And while they don't make cabs as far as I know, they make wonderfully hearty zins and syrahs. I've purchased aged examples of their syrahs and opened them right away...which is also the schedule I follow for their new-release syrahs I could be aging. They often release a white (with a companion white blend) under the name Winter Sun, which is usually a very small batch. It's one of the best whites I've had. They have made a rosé (I think from syrah grapes?) that's definitely the best rosé I've had. They hosted online tastings with blending sessions during the lockdown. They made it fun to see how combining single-grape samples into a blend could make something average change instantly into a delicious and interesting wine, just by finding the right proportions to meld together. I've been a fan practically since the beginning and expect to keep enjoying their wines for as long as they care to make them.
