The gallery existed first - and then they added the distillery tasting bar! The owner's own art is on display, along with a few other local artists. We didn't stop for a full tasting or cocktail since it was before lunch, but the bartender did offer us a sample of their new coffee vodka - delicious! What a fun stop for a stroll in Sausalito - highly recommend, especially if you didn't make it to Hanson Distillery's location in Napa.

Jim was our server, and he was fantastic--not to mention easy on the eyes! He explained each vodka with great detail, which made the impromptu private experience even more enjoyable. I especially loved the butterfly pea flower cocktail, and my favorite vodka flavors were the cucumber and the espresso--they were both excellent. This was such a memorable experience, and I'd definitely love to return!

It was founded by husband-and-wife duo Garry and Joanne Brooks (the name "Brooks Note" combines Garry's last name and Joanne's maiden name, Note). Garry was a Navy veteran who transitioned into a lucrative career in tech, but after planting a small backyard vineyard, he realized his true passion was winemaking. He left the tech world, earned a degree in viticulture and enology from UC Davis, and cut his teeth at prestigious wineries like Ravenswood, Kosta Browne, and Dutton-Goldfield. They officially launched Brooks Note as a commercial label in 2011.  It is a must visit.

Speaking of the wine, it's exceptional. Every pour feels thoughtfully selected, and you can tell there's real care behind the menu. Whether you're a casual sipper or a serious enthusiast, there's something here that will impress you. The service only adds to the experience--attentive, friendly, and effortlessly knowledgeable without ever feeling overbearing. You feel taken care of, but still completely at ease. And then there's the view. On a warm summer day, with the doors wide open and a breeze drifting through, looking out toward Belvedere in the distance--it's honestly hard to leave. The setting alone is enough to keep you there for hours. This is more than just a wine bar--it's a place you settle into and don't want to let go of.

Ordered a flight to share thinking it would be like a normal flight (all wines served at one time) and it was served like a tasting instead, which is fine but not when every wine is delayed because the worker is too busy talking to her friend at the bar. Then the worker went off shift and handed onto the evening worker, (large white man, didnt get his name) who forgot about us for 10 mins or so while we waited for the last wine to be poured with our glass empty. I had to go up to the bar to ask for the last wine. I've been to many wine bars around the bay and this by far has been the worst service. Won't be coming back.

Such a cute and unique place to drop by in the Tomales Bay area…read more The meadery is extremely aesthetic with a canopy patio of the bar, tables, and shops. There is an abundance of blooming flowers everywhere, and even a small beehive tucked away in the bushes. We did the tasting for $25 with 4 pours of mead. I was very impressed with the depth and variety of flavors; each pour tasted completely different from the next! Heidrun comps 1 tasting for 3 bottles purchased, which was a nice addition. Our hostesses were super sweet and chill. They were more than happy to explain a little bit about the meads and answer our questions. Would definitely stop by here again! :)

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!
