Smith Vineyard plans to open its tasting room on Mill Street in downtown Grass Valley on Saturday, while SummerThyme’s Bakery & Deli will open at Book Town Books a week from Friday.

Smith will open its tasting room at 142 Mill Street, where Bunce’s Place was located. The winery has renovated a building that dates back to 1871, when Ulysses Grant was president.

“We like being part of the downtown community,” said co-owner Chris Smith.

SummerThyme’s is opening an outlet at Book Town Books, at 107 Bank Street, on April 23. The “baby” SummerThyme’s, as its owners like to put it, will feature art from local artists as well.

Stucki Engravers also opened on Mill Street, and a wine tasting room featuring four wineries, called the Grass Valley Wine Company, is planned
