SingleThread in Healdsburg

SingleThread is the Healdsburg restaurant, inn and farm run by Kyle and Katina Connaughton. Kyle leads the kitchen; Katina runs the 24-acre farm in the Dry Creek Valley, where crops and cut flowers are worked by hand and supply much of what reaches the table.

The Michelin Guide awards it three stars and describes cooking influenced by kaiseki, a style the couple absorbed while living in Japan. Dinner is a 10-course tasting menu that opens with a botanical display and a run of small first bites, and seafood and vegetables cooked in a donabe, the Japanese clay pot, are a signature.

Upstairs are five guest rooms. Inn guests are guaranteed a dinner reservation and receive a Japanese or Sonoma-style breakfast.

Plan this as the main event of the day: keep tastings light and finish them in time to rest and change before an early-evening seating. With ten courses and a serious wine list, a chauffeur waiting outside North Street means no one has to hold back on pairings or think about the drive home.
