Description

di Rosa Preserve: Art & Nature, located in Napa, is delighted to offer the winner and up to three guests (4 people) to join a two hour guided tour. 


The preservation of natural habitat is central to the mission of the di Rosa Preserve: Art & Nature. The Preserve encompasses 53 acres, including a 35-acre lake, plus 162 acres of natural wildlife preserve, all under Napa County Land Trust open space protection. Holdings include Milliken Peak and a stunning variety of habitats such as oak woodland, native grasses, ferns, herbs and wildflowers.  Art in many forms is displayed in harmony with nature on the Preserve: in magnificent outdoor arenas, in a 130-year old winery-turned-residence, in an ancient olive grove and on the lake itself. Rich in flora and fauna, the open space is home or a migratory stopping point for a fascinating array of wildlife, including Canada Geese, the Blue Heron, Snowy Egrets and the Preserve's own peacocks.  The Preserve houses more than 2000 pieces of art. The di Rosa Preserve celebrates the power and spirit of the art and artists of Northern California. By collecting, showcasing, preserving, and creating a meaningful context for this region’s art, the Preserve fosters an appreciation of creativity and discovery in picturesque, natural surroundings.
