Contributing Artists
The natural beauty of the Mendocino Coast has  inspired artists over the years, and many artists now make Mendocino their year-round home. One of the distinguishing features of Winesong! is that artists, both from the local colony of world-famous artists, and others who visit the area, contribute original  works of art to the Live and Silent auctions.
Among the art items featured each year are one-of-a-kind painted wine bottles and wine presentation boxes. Ranging in size from 3 liters to 9 liters, these large bottles are filled with wines from Mendocino County’s finest wineries. Appealing to people who enjoy both wine and art, these unique art bottles have become a popular attraction.
In addition to the stunning 9L, 6L and 3L wine bottles, several artists create original images on wine presentation boxes. Also, the auctions offer original paintings, art glass, limited edition prints and framed photographs. We are fortunate to receive contributions not only from some of Mendocino’s finest artists but also from noted painters outside of the area, such as Lowell Herrero of Napa Valley.
