Kenwood Spotlight
 

The idyllic stretch of valley and hills between the Mayacamas Range to the east and the Sonoma Mountains to the west is Wine Country as you imagine it. The unspoiled vistas and rolling vineyards invite a top-down ride through the gently curving roads on the way to the historic hamlet of Kenwood.

History has deep roots here, evident in the charming homes and landmarks that ring the Kenwood Plaza Park.

Things To Do

Robert Ferguson Observatory
This is incredibly cool; who would imagine an astronomical observatory resides in the heart of Wine Country? An easy and beautiful ride up Highway 12 through the Sugarloaf Ridge State Park brings you to the observatory. RFO has daytime Solar viewing with special telescopes set up for looking at the sun.

Local Wineries

Featured Winery - Landmark
Truly a family enterprise that is connected to the roots of winemaking, Landmark traces its history to 1837, when, in Grand Detour, Illinois, John Deere invented the steel plow, an event that revolutionized agriculture in the United States. John Deere is the great, great grandfather of Damaris Deer Ford who located the Landmark Winery in Kenwood in 1989.
