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 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. 

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."  

What makes BUAISOU unique is that all processes, which were traditionally divided into separate specializations, are carried out within BUAISOU itself; from cultivating the raw indigo, fermenting the indigo leaves (Sukumo), dyeing, designing, through to production.

Recently, we had the opportunity to collaborate with BUAISOU on two custom tapestries, created for the opening of SingleThread's Farm Store. 

To learn more about BUAISOU, visit their website and explore their online international shop. 

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.

In support of Chill Foundation, SingleThread will be teaming up with friends and fellow boardsports enthusiasts Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, founders of Arnot-Roberts Winery. Together SingleThread and Arnot-Roberts will offer an incredible Sonoma County experience benefitting Chill Foundation. One lucky winner will enjoy dinner for two at SingleThread, followed by an overnight stay at our Inn and also a private tasting and winery tour of Arnot-Roberts with Duncan and Nathan.

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. 

Start 2023 with rest and relaxation and take advantage of a quieter time of year in wine country. Guests have the option to enjoy the SingleThread Dining Experience in the restaurant or a more intimate family style in-room dining experience. IN-ROOM DINING
