What a Three-Michelin-Star Farm Does to a Solo Diner
SingleThread in Healdsburg holds 3 Michelin Stars, the Best Restaurant in West USA title, and the #8 spot on North America's 50 Best 2025. Chef Kyle Connaughton builds a kaiseki-inspired tasting menu each morning around what head farmer Katina Connaughton's 24-acre farm is giving that day. You tour the farm before you eat. That is not optional. That is the beginning.

Thomas Keller's Yountville flagship has held three Michelin stars since 2007, and chef de cuisine Ara Jo runs that kitchen with the same precision that earned them. A course by course account of a spring tasting menu, from the bread to the beef Wellington to the chocolate tart that ends the night.
