Art Lovers' Wine Country Tour

If you love art, any kind of art, you must see the Di Rosa (Arts) Preserve, a totally unique gallery in a former winery and its extensive grounds. To the DiRosa Arts Preserve, this tour adds visits to two wineries known for their wines and incomparable art collections.

Why devote 2+ hours of your California wine country tour to the Di Rosa Preserve's art collections? Because it's like few exhibit spaces on the planet! The 2000 or so eclectic art works were produced by lesser-known (but clearly not less-talented) artists who indulge their sometimes whimsical, often profound imaginations. You're encouraged to appreciate the art, the resident peacocks, the lake and vistas at your own pace. The setting is 200 acres in the beautiful Carneros region, which bridges the Sonoma and Napa Valleys.

There are so many reasons why we're your best choice for a tour blending art appreciation with wine tasting!

Tour Itinerary

  We begin by visiting the unique Di Rosa Arts Preserve*. We lunch at the authentic Victorian house called The General's Daughter or another of Sonoma's excellent restaurants. Time permitting, we stop in at Artesa, an ultramodern winery with its own 'artist in residence' (Gordon Huether); you'll enjoy the panoramic view, their Spanish-style wines, and Huether's many sui generis creations. Then it's through the redwoods up Mt. Veeder to the Hess Collection, a fine winery with a gallery of works by major contemporary artists. Afterwards, we briefly tour Napa wine country with a tasting at Clos Pegase, a literal temple to wine and art…returning to the City via the Silverado Trail and Bay Bridge.

* Tours available Tues thru Sun, by Appointment Only. Entrance Fee is $12 per person.

What will it Cost?

Because each tour is designed to fit your interests, our fees vary. Basically you pay by the number of hours in your itinerary. We do not add the fuel surcharges, "license fees," "tax" and mandatory gratuities that many other companies do.

    *These fees are for couples, groups of up to 6/7 people or solo travelers. For groups of 7 to 25 (whereby we charter a minibus), please ask for a quote.

   **A gratuity is customary and will be appreciated, but is not required.
