Unfortunately there are no room blocks available. We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE our guests to book a room ASAP, as Sonoma books up quite quickly, and/or can get more expensive as Spring turns into Summertime. Below are some suggestions on local accommodations: 1. In Downtown Sonoma (20-30 min South of venue): - Sonoma Valley Inn, Tapestry by Hilton - El Pueblo Inn - Inn at Sonoma, a Four Sisters Inn - The Lodge at Sonoma Resort - MacArthur Place, Hotel & Spa - Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa 2. In Santa Rosa ( 20 - 30 min North of venue): - Flamingo Resort & Spa - Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country - Courtyard Santa Rosa - AC Hotel Sonoma Wine Country

Answer

Depending on where you are staying, St. Francis Winery can be a 20 - 30 min drive from either the town of Sonoma, or Santa Rosa. Maps & directions can be found under the Schedule section of this website. There will be plenty of parking at the Reception site. **PLEASE don't drink & drive in Sonoma County! We suggest trying to carpool if possible or using Uber/Lyft, which works best if you pre-schedule your drop-off / pick-up times (there are not a lot of drivers roaming around the Valley in the evening, and you don't want to get stuck out there. Trust us from experience :)

Question

What is the weather like in Kenwood in the Summertime?What is the weather like in Kenwood in the Summertime?

Answer

While anything is possible, in most years Sonoma sees a very warm July - from daytime highs in the 80's to high 90's. Nighttime temps can vary wildly from the 50's to the 70's, so we would advise to look at the weather a couple days beforehand, and bring layers if necessary.
