A terrific diversion and place to shop for that St. Generic's Day gift before the seasonal crush…read more This cooperative of about eleven local artists is airy, well lit and a happy place in which to enjoy a variety of expression by extremely talented people who are, for the most part, members of the Newly Emerging Lower River Left Bank Art Community. Paintings, sculptures, photos, things to hang on your body and much of it has been inspired by the spectacular natural beauty of the turf where these artists live. The first Friday of every month Guerneville's gallery people open their doors, lay out a few munchies, a cup of something red and shmooze with visitors, townies and members of this intertwining network of people who share goals, points of view and the latest dirt on a couple of their mutual acquaintances. Well-behaved pooches are welcome and you might come upon a few surprises.I love this place and the people who brighten it and make visiting it a special experience.

One of my favorite stores to visit since Dax & Smitty have excellent taste. Their displays are…read morebrilliant vignettes of exotic, ecletic antique wonders I hadn't realized existed, but were just what I was searching for. Their botanical section is also marvelous, with a great selection of sun or shade plants for those of us lucky to live with redwoods. They're quite knowledgeable when suggesting the perfect plant & what it will & will not do in your space. The whole store is a visual creative treat that is tops for a happy places in town to be in.

The woman in charge was polite and not pushy or overbearing. We browsed at our leisure but were looking specifically for Inuit art so when she asked me and I answered, she was quickly able to let me know she did not have anything like that. Worth stopping in if you like art in this price range. They have many attractive pieces.

My favorite part is that you can grab a glass and walk around the museum and see all of the local artwork along the walls and throughout the building. I got to chat with two of the artists that were posted and they are so talented and friendly! This tasting room and gallery is the epitome of a welcoming and kind environment. I definitely recommend!

Equality Vines is such a gem! Not only were the wines absolutely delicious (I genuinely loved every…read moresingle one I tried), but the mission behind this place makes it even more special. I was so moved to learn that it's owned by Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality case. I also love that proceeds from the wines go to support causes that uplift women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other social justice initiatives. It felt so good to know that each sip was also supporting meaningful change. Each wine has a unique name like the "19th Amendment" which is so cool. The space was filled with LGBTQ+ artwork and it is even connected to a gallery down the hall. So you can grab your glass of wine and check out art Nextdoor. Lastly, the service was amazing. This place definitely has a mom and pop vibe and they make you feel super welcomed. We will definitely be back!
