5 Wine Country Resorts With Pool and Spa

Sonoma County's wonderful climate makes it a great place to enjoy some hot-weather fun. Cool off in style at one of the beautiful swimming pools at these Sonoma County resorts.

You can choose pools that are family friendly, romantic, or designed for a workout. Most offer poolside dining service and drinks, spa services, and other amenities. 

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

This luxury resort offers two swimming areas, both filled with the resort's unique mineral spring water.

The main pool is open seasonally during the warmer months, is family friendly, and offers lap swimming and poolside dining. The spa pool is part of the Inn's beautiful Willow Spring Spa and offers a romantic setting and is a great place to relax after a spa service.

Kenwood Inn and Spa

This beautiful Tuscan-style resort in Kenwood features two saline water pools — a main swimming area near the spa and another more private pool. Both are designed for relaxation and retreat and are perfect for romantic getaways.

Kenwood Inn maintains an atmosphere that ensures tranquility and quiet, so the pools are unsuitable for those eighteen and under. Poolside spa services are available. Note:  The Kenwood Spa is undergoing an extensive makeover, and will reopen Sept. 1, 2019. During renovations, some massage services are available in certain guest rooms or at its sister property, Gaige House + Ryokan, a five-minute drive away.

The Spa at Farmhouse by Francis & Alexander offers a farm-to-table treatment menu that sparkles with Spring Forest honey and heirloom cider apples from the inn's home ranch, along with herbs grown in the Farmhouse Inn kitchen garden.
