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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Chef Kyle, Katina and some of the SingleThread team are traveling to Japan at the end of May to celebrate twenty years of friendship with Chef Namae Shinobu of L'Effervesence in Tokyo, Japan. 

This is the team's first return to Japan in over two years and is a special opportunity to continue two decades of collaboration, as well as continue seafood sustainability initiatives locally with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. 

Kyle, Katina and Name-san originally met during their time at Michel Bras in Hokkaido and they later worked together again at Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck in Bray, England. The Connaughtons and Namae-san felt an immediate kinship and have continued to collaborate and support each other as an extended family, cooking together and participating in educational events all over the world, at SingleThread in Healdsburg, and now at L'Effervescence in Tokyo!

The special collaboration dinner will take place at L'Effervescence on Monday, May 30th. Booking details can be found here. L'Effervesence is currently ranked #26 on the World's 50 Best Restaurant List and holds three Michelin stars.
