Join us this winter for an unparalleled cinematic dining experience through our seasonal residency series — ThroughLine, taking place in Park City, Utah and New York in 2025. ThroughLine will build upon the core ethos of SingleThread, expanding on our project that began with an immersive dining experience—Title Page—that took place in January 2024 at The Lodge at Blue Sky, in Park City, Utah. This evolving project is designed to deepen connections with our food systems and immerse guests in a culinary journey exploring the intersection of dining and documentary filmmaking.

This holiday season, we are excited to offer gifts made by our team and members of our community that capture the essence of Sonoma County. We are honored to be part of a thriving community of artisans who share their passions and talents with the world, each outcome reflecting a commitment to intentional craftsmanship and local heritage. We feel a deep responsibility to not only support these artists but also to share their work and their stories with our guests.

We are excited to offer a one-of-a-kind dining experience for guests of our Inn, combining the intentional artistry of SingleThread’s cuisine with the casual ease of a picnic. Our Temaki Picnic, carefully prepared by our culinary team, invites you to enjoy the art of hand rolls—temaki—in a unique and convenient way.

We take pride in sharing the places that inspire us here in Sonoma County, California. The vast landscape covers more than the rolling vineyards of wine country, it extends through forests of Redwoods, expansive mountains and valleys, with breathtaking roads that wind along the Pacific Ocean where land meets the sea. With the help of the fully electric Audi e-tron, our Inn guests will immerse themselves in this landscape.

Everything we do is guided by respect for the land and nature’s delicate balance. Since SingleThread’s inception, we’ve been dedicated to providing an authentic taste of the region while minimizing waste and maximizing the use of every ingredient throughout the growing season. We are excited to partner with our friends at Kally, who share these same values, to create a verjus-based, non-alcoholic wine alternative that captures and celebrates the essence of wine country while utilizing ingredients harvested directly from our farm. 

This spring, with a desire to learn and exchange knowledge, our team traveled to Toyama, Japan to collaborate with local Chef Gejo on an immersive Kaiseki-inspired lunch. In the incredible setting of Shiraiwa, the home of IWA Sake and founder & maker Richard Geoffrey, we created an exclusive and intimate experience designed to shine a light on the region of Toyama and its diversity of ingredients and artisans.

We thoroughly enjoyed our second annual residency at the beautiful Lodge at Blue Sky – an Auberge Collection – in January. This year we named the event “Title Page” as it was a cinematic and multi-sensory insight into our entire SingleThread eco-system, delivered through an intimate Omakase-style dining experience.

Our Non-Alcoholic (NA) beverage program is a testament to our commitment to creating a holistic and exceptional dining experience for our guests, and to respect not only dietary choices and restrictions but also lifestyle ones. We always want to be inclusive of all. While we take tremendous pride in our award winning wine program, including our Unforgettable Pairings, we have recognized the growing demand for non-alcoholic options and have embraced the challenge of elevating these pairings to a new level of sophistication.

We are excited to unveil ‘Title Page’ – our 9-day annual residency at The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection, where a culinary adventure will unfold between January 18th-28th. An Omakase-style dining experience will bring our guests along a journey that incorporates cinema with fine dining; guiding diners and guests through a sensory journey of a new culinary concept coming to life. Join us in Park City, UT, for an exclusive, one-of-a-kind experience.

In the world of California sea urchin fishing, the presence of women is as rare and precious as the ocean’s hidden treasures. While the industry has traditionally been dominated by men, a select few remarkable women have carved their paths as pioneers in this male-dominated realm. These trailblazers, like Stephanie Mutz, defy the norm, challenging the waves and stereotypes alike. We are honored to partner with Stephanie as we continue our commitment to source locally, and her story is as interesting as her craft.

We are excited to announce our 4th Annual Sonoma Raffle – in partnership with winery Arnot-Roberts – to support Chill Foundation. By providing snowboarding and skateboarding experiences to underserved youth, Chill Foundation enables them to discover their potential, build self-confidence, and develop crucial life skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Our annual Sonoma Raffle supports the organization by giving away a stay at our Inn for two, dinner for two and a private farm tour by Head Farmer and Floral Designer Katina and Chef Kyle, and much more.

One of SingleThread’s core values is Stewardship. We define this as all-encompassing; we steward the land with our farm and sustainability in our kitchen, but we also steward the joy of our guests and growth of our colleagues. Mentorship is a key pillar in our culture, and that commitment is born from stewardship. Chef Alex Fuentes, our Executive Sous Chef, embodies this value.

Behind every aspect of SingleThread’s offerings is a passionate, creative and knowledgeable team. Whether it’s our Farm Store, our CSA program or our Wine Shop, the origin is organic and thoughtful. SingleThread Wine shop was born in 2020 during the pandemic when we wanted to start sharing our wine program beyond our dining room. Our Wine Director and team were able to creatively pivot and elevate the SingleThread wine experience by bringing it into the homes of our guests.

During that time we also joined Sonoma Family Meal as we moved our operation mainly outdoors. We had the privilege of donating meals to families in need, alongside offering nourishing, farm inspired meals to safely enjoy at home. The SingleThread Wine Shop became an extension of these efforts.

At SingleThread we believe in community beyond our walls and farm. The Artisans, Growers, Fisheries and many other valued partners are essential to the SingleThread experience, and we are deeply committed to supporting and showcasing their work as much as possible. Whether showcasing local potter and friend Bob Dinetz beautiful vases in our floral workshops, or showcasing the gorgeous tie dye tapestries from Buaisou in our farm store – the stories of our artisans and partners are equally a part of our story.

In this spirit, we are rolling out a spotlight series – “From Our Kitchen” – and we begin with a very special ingredient; locally grown Organic Luna Koshihikari Rice.

Floral Design and beauty is foundational to the SingleThread experience. Ikebana is an ancient and traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement that emphasizes simplicity, balance, and harmony between the floral elements and the surrounding environment. The talented team of Floral Designers at Singlethread ensure that we are constantly surrounded by beauty, and they create the canvas that our Chefs draw inspiration from.

Our 2023 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is an opportunity for our farm to share our harvests in a new way, extending this community beyond the walls of our kitchens and dining rooms and offering farm fresh food to our friends and neighbors. By becoming a member of our CSA, you are directly contributing to the sustainability of our farm and our local food systems. In return, we commit to providing you with the highest quality produce we are able to grow.

Stop by our SingleThread Farm Store in the Dry Creek Valley. Positioned on SingleThread’s 24-acre working farm, the Farm Store is the result of Head Farmer and Owner Katina Connaughton’s longtime vision to create a shared space in support of vibrant ecology that not only serves an agricultural purpose, but that also provides a community and educational benefit.

In addition to a curated selection of daily harvested farm fresh produce, florals, and the SingleThread product line, we are delighted to carry an array of handcrafted products made by some of our favorite artisans.

SingleThread was delighted to host Richard Geoffroy of IWA Sake in late November for a special collaboration in celebration of IWA Sake’s anticipated US release.

Chef Kyle Connaughton and the SingleThread culinary team worked with Geoffroy on a seasonal 10-course menu designed to be paired with IWA’s incredible sakes.

We are thrilled to share a few images from the collaboration on our blog. Many thanks to our partners IWA Sake and Dom Perignon.

We are thrilled to formally unveil SingleThread’s Pantry Line!

These products originated in the restaurant kitchen and have slowly made their way onto our seasonal menus, and more recently, into the homes of our guests.

Inspired by SingleThread Farm at Dry Creek, the greater agricultural region of Sonoma County, and the rich culinary traditions of Japan, we hope these products offer something that is both familiar and different. Something new to add to your shelf of favorites in your own kitchen.

The pantry line is now available for purchase at the Farm Store.

We are incredibly proud to be on The World’s 50 Best List this year and celebrate this amazing recognition of our team. Being included on the list is such a huge accomplishment for our team. After a year marked with a pandemic that has challenged the entire restaurant community and a fire in our own kitchen this is an absolutely incredible moment of celebration. Thank you to all of our guests, supporters, artists and artisans, farmers, and more importantly the dedicated and passionate team that pours their heart, soul, and love into our home each and every day.

We are pleased to share that we now carry a custom designed SingleThread Furoshiki at The Farm Store.

Furoshiki is a traditional way to wrap gifts and belongings in Japan. It can be used from generation to generation and makes for a lovely heirloom. Our furoshiki is 100% cotton and is hand-dyed by Nagakan in Sendai, Japan.

Versatile and beautiful, Furoshiki can be used to wrap a variety of objects, from wine bottles, to packages of different shapes and sizes. Purchase your Furoshiki at The Farm Store or online here.

Our online wine shop is a focused selection of bottles from our cellar to yours. SingleThread Wines has the unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on our award-winning wine program curated by the Michelin 3-Star wine team at SingleThread. The Wine Shop showcases wines from sought-after winemakers alongside bottles at the vanguard of their region. We invite you to explore new and exciting wines from your favorite producers and parts of the world, especially from here in Sonoma.

SingleThread Wines is the one destination to shop for both local and imported wines, aiming to connect you with the people and regions that make each bottle special. Enjoy uniquely curated wine and sake subscriptions.

We are pleased to announce Chris McFall has moved into a larger role overseeing the entire beverage program as Wine Director at SingleThread. Most recently the restaurant’s Head Sommelier, Chris first gained recognition in his hometown of Austin, Texas when he was named Best New Sommelier by Wine & Spirits Magazine in 2012. Chris later managed and developed noteworthy programs at two-Michelin starred Lazy Bear in San Francisco prior to joining the SingleThread wine team in the spring of 2020.

“I’m elated to continue the legacy of the Beverage Program at SingleThread, continuing to collaborate with our Local Growers and the International Winemakers that inspire us.”

Congratulations, Chris!

Chef Kyle Connaughton is pleased to announce a new recipe collaboration with Oakland, California-based Cuzen Matcha.

Eijiro Tsukada, founder of Cuzen Matcha, and Chef Kyle first met in 2016. By 2020, the relationship between Cuzen Matcha and SingleThread expanded with both entrepreneurs experimenting with Cuzen Matcha’s high-quality, freshly ground matcha, which has a distinctly smooth, balanced flavor and gives the drinker a mellow, focused energy that lasts. Their goal was to develop recipes that would highlight the distinctive umami flavors found uniquely in Cuzen Matcha’s offering. Eventually Chef Kyle began to offer Cuzen Matcha machines in the SingleThread Inn’s guest rooms, as well as integrate its matcha into a selection of lattes and smoothies available to guests throughout the property.

At SingleThread we are proud to have the opportunity to work with many highly skilled artisans around the world who embody a shared commitment to craftsmanship and preserving tradition.

Katina and Ayuchi-san, SingleThread’s Creative Director, have a shared love of indigo-dyeing and were thrilled to discover BUAISOU in 2017.

BUAISOU, was established in Kamiita-cho, Tokushima Prefecture of Japan in 2015, to “thrive in the hometown of indigo dye.”

Kyle and Katina are proud to be active supporters of the Chill Foundation, an organization that works to inspire youth to overcome challenges through boardsports.

Founded in 1995 by Jake and Donna Carpenter, founders of Burton Snowboards, Chill has served more than 30,000 young people since the program began. Chill offers programming to youth at no cost, partnering with community organizations, schools and juvenile justice programs in 24 cities and 9 countries across the world.

As longtime boardsports fans themselves, Kyle and Katina share a deep commitment to furthering opportunities for youth through promoting boardsports.
