Why You Must Visit ÆRENA Galleries and Gardens

This leading contemporary art gallery has dug in roots throughout the Napa Valley, with locations in Napa, Yountville, and St. Helena, as well as sculpture gardens on several well-known properties. Here’s why you must visit the uniquely beautiful art and design at ÆRENA Galleries and Gardens.

Contemporary Art

The galleries contain a multitude of works from emerging, mid-career, and established local and international artists with a great selection of styles and mediums. View sculptures, paintings, drawings, and a finely edited selection of furnishings. There is an array of pieces, from abstract art to sculptures of dancing sheep.

Exhibitions change frequently, but you can always find beautiful pieces for sale.

The prices are pretty reasonable. Find a souvenir representing a Bay Area contemporary artist as a special memento to take home from your Napa Valley getaway.

Sculpture Gardens

ÆRENA Galleries also curates the sculpture gardens of several properties around the Napa Valley, including Blackbird Vineyards, Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford, and Solage. The sculpture garden at Auberge du Soleil is stellar. It features nearly 110 works by 65 California sculptors, placed throughout their 33-acre grounds.

Tours

Take a personalized gallery experience to connect you with a dedicated art consultant, artist, and other art lovers. Book a private tour with one of their friendly and knowledgeable consultants. Opt for the Private Evening Gallery Tour, which includes small bites and a glass of wine. Whether you want a private visit before the gallery opens, or an intimate tour with an artist, there is an experience that’s just right for you.

Blackbird Vineyards and ÆRENA Wines

ÆRENA’s eclectic selection is best enjoyed with a glass of wine. ÆRENA believes art and wine is the perfect pairing, and aims to bring like-minded people together. When visiting, you’ll be able to sip on varietals from both Blackbird Vineyards and their own private label. Take their Wine Pairing tour, which includes a tour of the art and design collections and a tasting of ÆRENA’s portfolio of wines hosted by a seasoned wine consultant.
