Art & Nature
   
 
The preservation of natural habitat is important to the di Rosa . The property 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 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.
We regularly offer guests the opportunity to experience art in nature. Please check our calendar for more information!
