Atelier One Open Studios

For its 39th year, the artists of Atelier One open their studios in a historic Graton building for a weekend of demonstrations, conversation and handmade work to take home. It is a lovely, low-key way to start holiday shopping in west Sonoma County. Pair it with Pinot tastings along the Gravenstein Highway and let your driver handle the back roads. Dates and details come from a tourism listing, so confirm with the organizer before you go.
