Culinary Traditions
“Spa Cuisine” became a national movement in the 1980s in large part because Edward Safdie, then the owner (1980-1985) of The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, published a cookbook with spa cuisine recipes in 1985. Spa Food: Menus & Recipes from the Sonoma Mission Inn cookbook made spa cooking – tasteful fare high in macronutrients and low in sugar, fats, and processed ingredients – a national phenomenon and has been coined a “book for cooks.” The resort’s health-conscious offerings date back to its original hot springs baths in the late 19th century. In the 21st century, the resort continues Safdie’s legacy. The resorts’ current culinary team demonstrates an unwavering commitment to serve guests impeccable meals created with seasonal ingredients sourced from regional wineries, breweries, ranches, fisheries, and farmers.

38º North
38º North at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is Wine Country's hottest Sonoma, CA lounge venue. The new lounge’s sleek design, led by California based KNA Designs, respects the property’s minimalist design while maximizing the historic nuances and mission-style architecture. The enhanced incorporation of natural light and bursts of color promise to produce timeless aesthetics.
The 38th parallel north is a circle of latitude that crosses Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, the Pacific, North America (Sonoma, CA) and the Atlantic. This notable imaginary east-west circle has quite a global history. The inspiration for the unique Wine-Centric style lounge is the temperate latitude of the 38th parallel, along which the world’s most iconic wine regions sit including Alicante in Spain, Italy’s Calabria, New Zealand’s Hunter’s and Hawke’s Bay and of course the famed Sonoma Valley. 38º North is a meritage of wines and flavors, proudly pouring more than 50 wines by the glass from handpicked local and international wineries. The unparalleled wines by the glass menu will showcase cult favorites including Silver Oak, Alexander Valley, and the ever-popular sparkler, Dom Perignon Brut.
