The Center for the Arts is a multiple purpose building with three gallery spaces downstairs, with…read morethe back space serving as a food/staging room as well. It is located next door to the Noyo movie theater on Commercial, just east of the 101(Main Street) in the older part of town. The space/building has high ceilings and is nicely lit for exhibitions and shows, with service elevators in the back - there is a second floor - but the last time I was in the building was still only storage space. Willits Center for the Arts allows for local artists and artisans to get their work out in to the public and it services as a hub for the community artists there to be able to exchange information, events and ideas. Usually two or three, and sometimes more artists/artisans will be on display at an exhibition. The space is open varying hours, depending on whats exhibiting, and there is usually a monthly show of some type. A small town Art Center trying to make a difference in a rural community.

Tried to make a point of stopping the last two road trips I've taken. Mistake is good. There's no…read moredoubt about that. The problem is is that they post their hours right there next to the highway and then when I drive my truck and trailer in there to get stocked up with me, they're closed. But when you look at their sign on the side of the highway, they're clearly open it's Wednesday. It's 3:20 PM and they're closed. This is the second time has happened in the last two times I've tried to go here. I don't think I'm ever gonna go back again because it's a hassle of trying to turn around and everything. I just don't like that they post their hours and then they actually are not available to their posted hours.

September 13, 2025 - Redwood Valley, CA…read more We stopped by on a Saturday and were surprised at how quiet it was. A big plus: they're dog-friendly. The tasting room itself is stunning, with soaring 40-foot ceilings arching over a central fountain--worth a visit just for the architecture. Flights are $10, and our host was especially generous, letting us try a few wines not listed on the menu. The wines were enjoyable, and the prices refreshingly reasonable compared to many other wineries these days.

I was here during first Fridays. I went in once to buy popcorn and had no issue. After I finished…read moremy popcorn I needed to wash my hands and get some candy. A man was standing in front of the door talking to someone. I said excuse me and he asked what I want. And I said "oh sorry excuse me I just need to get by" he held the door closed tight by the handle. Blocking me with his body and said what do you want again really rudely. I then noticed the Noyo theater hat so I presume he was the owner possibly. I said oh I just wanted to wash my hands and buy some candy. I was so intimidated at that point I went in and bought candy and washed my hands and left the event. I had not been in to see a movie since the new owners bought it but have been in Willits my whole life going to the theater and never been treated this way. My response since I can't reply to you: pretty poor attempt to cover up sheer rudeness. I had already bought popcorn and was going back in to buy candy. Therefore concessions to go. Which I won't be doing again. Asking how you can help someone and straight up holding the door closed on them and being rude are two different things of which I know the difference. I go out of my way during these events to buy concessions because I see posts about needing to support a locally owned theater and I don't usually go out to movies. It's unfortunate a business I have gone out of my way to support even if all I can do is buy some concessions feels the need to physically hold the door closed so I can't come in.

Testa, Testa! YOU my dear, are in a league of your own. One of the best wine tasting experiences…read morethat I've had! Testa was recommended to me by one of the wonderful servers at Patrona in Ukiah. She told me that I had to come here for a tasting before I left the area, and I did. And damn, am I happy that I did! This was my favorite tasting experience while out in the Ukiah area. What I loved about the tasting room here is that it's quaint, intimate, and super relaxing. No big crowds that you have to push through to make your way to the tasting room. It's quiet, peaceful, and the views are just astounding. And it's doesn't hurt that their estate is so damn adorable! The entire setup is truly darling! There's a beautiful covered deck with the most comfortable sofas! It reveals the most majestic views of their pond, garden, and vineyards. They have several shaded picnic tables and a rocking chair. You can walk around the premises and get lost in all of the beauty that surrounds it. I was literally falling asleep on the couch while I sat out on the deck and tasted. Yep, that's how comfortable I was! Their wines are very tasty as well! They make a variety of whites and reds and have won many awards for their delicious creations. They have their award-winning wines and ribbons posted on the wall of their indoor tasting area. A tasting consists of 5 of their wines. I'm not sure what the cost is for a tasting, but the tasting fee is waived with the purchase of a bottle and their prices are really reasonable. I really enjoyed their "Black" red blend the most and ended up purchasing a bottle to take home. A fun fact about this wine: it was created by their own members at a winemaker's party that they had at the winery. I couldn't believe that the members actually put together such a good blend, but it's amazing! You can fish in the pond for free if you're member! Another interesting fact is that they only use 10% of the wine that they produce. The other 90% is outsourced to other wineries! Now, that's how you KNOW that it's good! Saving the best for last of course. The main reason why I enjoyed tasting here so much was because of JENN!!! That lady is friggin' AMAZE BALLS, mmkay? So much personality and knowledge packed inside of that little body of hers! I honestly felt like I was hanging out with an old friend from high school. Her passion for wine is so undeniable. People like her are so rare to find these days. She is perfect at what she does and Testa is so lucky to have her there. I hope she stays at Testa for many years to come because I want her to be there when I come back again. Whew! I did it again! I done wrote up another novel, y'all! I can't help but to gloat about the places that I love. Well... if you're actually still reading this, then pleeeeeaase make your way out to Testa! I promise you won't regret it!

Also, they may only be open during Redwood Valley events [not sure on this]. Located in a barn up on a hill with a beautiful view of the valley, they make three wines.... a Sav Blanc [a nice typical Sav Blanc ], a Cab Sav [again, a nice wine], and a red blend [a bit too alcoholy for my taste].
