Island Memories
Galiano is the perfect place to find that special momento of the Gulf Islands and the West Coast. Internationally sought after artists and writers have chosen to make the Gulf Islands their home, and it is possible to find just the right piece of art or a wonderful book to enjoy at the Inn or to take home as an island memory.
 Vintages Wine and Gift Shop. Located on the grounds of the Inn, Vintages has an extensive selection of truly hand-crafted wines: offerings from small wine-makers that are making their mark on the British Columbia wine scene. Take home an island wine as the perfect remembrance (or gift) of your Gulf Island visit. Also for your enjoyment, there is a selection of organic and wild foods, as well as interesting gift items.
Gift shops. Galiano is a small, rural island known mostly for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Do not expect shopping malls or movie theatres or traffic. But you can find several small shops with unique arts and crafts, many are just walking distance from the Inn: such as Art and Soul, Sweet Somethings Gallery, and the Twirly Tree. Or in touring the island, you can discover some other shops and studios scattered throughout the island, ones like Ixchel, Insight and Cooked Goose.
 Madrona del Mar Spa. Also on the grounds of the Inn, you can find a selection of spa products, candles and gift items. Choose from Emminence organic facial products or Madrona's own signature products. Take home our own island hand-crafted soap and bath salts. Or select luxuries from France. Or our Signature robes: yakata robes with our own design or our plush Inn robes and reflexology slippers.
Galiano Island Books. Just next door, Galiano Island books is known as the ‘best little bookstore’ anywhere…with over 10,000 titles to browse, you are sure to find a number of titles to enjoy on a reader’s retreat at the Inn, or to enjoy at home. Well-known Galiano resident authors such as Jane Rule are a popular choice. And special readings by authors occur regularly.
 Galiano Art Gallery. Featuring many of the best island artists as well as emerging west coast talent, the Galiano Art Gallery is just a five minute walk from the Inn, along with other island shops.
Artists and Artisans. Many artists have chosen Galiano as their home and source of inspiration. While displayed in galleries across Canada and in private collections everywhere, they are also displayed and available for sale in the artists’ studios here on the island: Marcia DeVicque Glassworks, Bill Boyd Pottery, Sandra Dolph at Cedar Grove Pottery are just a few of the many fine crafts people.
You can enjoy the artists without even leaving your room…the works of Marcia DeVicque are displayed and offered for sale; and Tara Gill’s works displayed on the walls are exclusive to the Inn.
And music provides the best memories...enjoy our in-room selection of Brad Prevedoros CD's.
