News from Gourmet Au Bay in Bodega Bay


Gourmet Au Bay is a fabulous wine bar, bottle shop and gift store here in Bodega Bay. The wine bar features their World Famous Wine Surfing on the deck overlooking stunning views of Bodega Harbor, and the bottle shop has over 200 award-winning California wines for sale. I wrote about this local gem in further detail here.

Their gift boutique area includes wine barrel home decor, gourmet gadgets, fine glassware, candles, international music and wall art. They’re also now carrying BodegaBayLife.com photo greeting cards!

That’s right, we created greeting cards from some of my favorite local photos in our blog posts. My husband is a professional photographer and he shoots most of the photos for me. We’ve had a few inquiries about them, one thing led to another and you can now find an assortment for sale at Gourmet Au Bay! They carry several lines of beautiful cards from local artists, ours say BodegaBayLife.com on the back.

Gourmet Au Bay offers live acoustic guitar music on their deck Sunday afternoons 3:00-5:00 p.m. Music genres range from folk to standards to classical. Imagine relaxing on the deck overlooking the sparkling water of Bodega Harbor, sunshine, blue skies, fresh sea breeze, sipping a glass of wine and listening to soft music. It’s another magical day in Bodega Bay!


On Sat., June 27, owners Sissy and Bob will donate 10% of all sales to the Marine Mammal Center. The Marine Mammal Center is a nonprofit organization that rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured, sick and orphaned marine mammals (seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, whales and sea otters) along a 600 mile stretch of California coastline, from Mendocino County through San Luis Obispo County. They're planning a special event in Bodega Bay which I'll be writing more about later!

Gourmet Au Bay has started hosting winemaker events once a month and will feature Moshin Vineyards on July 18 and Unti Vineyards on August 22.

Sissy told me they're also planning a special evening event for Fri., July 3. Their deck will have a magnificent view of the fireworks show over the water. Stay tuned!
