Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

By Brittney Sherman

From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.

Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

By Brittney Sherman

When Dan McCranie decided to build an art gallery in Downtown Morgan Hill, he made clear he wanted none of the white walls and sharp lines found in traditional galleries. Instead, he mixed materials, shapes, colors and used mass-timber to design a building that in itself is a piece of art. Cura Contemporary Art Gallery exhibits both emerging and mid-career artists from the Bay Area and beyond in an open and engaging environment. Representing a large variety of styles and mediums, the featured artwork gives a fresh perspective and often has a deep connection to process and materiality. In addition to thoughtfully curated exhibitions, the gallery will host artist workshops, unique culinary experiences, and special events. It is truly a space where culture, community, and hospitality are blended and celebrated.

A rose is just a rose; except on Valentine's Day!

By Brittney Sherman

Consumers are expected to spend an average of $188 each on Valentine’s Day purchases this year, according to a survey published by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics. Top gifts include candy, flowers, cards, an evening out, and jewelry, which are all expected to result in $25.7B in sales.

FUN FACT: According to the Society of American Florists, 83% of flowers purchased for Valentine’s Day in 2022 were roses; 2/3 of which were red. Approximately 1B roses will be imported into the United States, mostly from South America, to support the high demand for Valentine’s Day.

From prohibition to global sales, Guglielmo Winery celebrates 100 years

From prohibition to global sales, Guglielmo Winery celebrates 100 years

By Brittney Sherman

Emilio and Emilia Guglielmo immigrated from Italy in 1909, purchased 10-acres of land in Morgan Hill, and planted their first row of grapevines. In 1925, the Guglielmo’s began producing red wine blends which they delivered in casks to their neighbors during prohibition, and later on a larger wholesale scale. The winery has evolved over the years along with the California wine industry which had only 11 vineyards when the Guglielmo’s started. Today, Guglielmo Winery produces over 40,000 cases of wine annually, offers a wide variety of blended and non-blended wines, boasts a flourishing Wine Club and manages an event center that holds hundreds of events every year. Although the winery footprint and business model have changed over the last 100 years, the winery is still a family run business with the 4th and 5th generations currently at the helm. Cheers to another 100 years of Guglielmo wine!
