A renowned collection of Bay Area art from the 1960s to the present is on view at di Rosa in the beautiful Carneros Appelation region of Napa Valley. A property taking in over 200 acres, di Rosa is sited on an inspiring landscape that showcases art in the Preserve’s outdoor Sculpture Meadow.

The di Rosa collection represents over 2000 works in all media: Provocative contemporary art that often exemplifies Rene di Rosa’s early response to Bay Area artists and art movements that went on to be recognized on the national scene and worldwide.

Seasonal hikes and meadow walks are an inviting adjunct to tours of exhibits in di Rosa’s Gatehouse Gallery, Main Gallery, and the historic residence: Former home of Rene and Veronica di Rosa.

Walking the trail reveals works by artists such as Mark di Suvero, Viola Frey and Gordon Heuther. Nature lovers will appreciate the preservation work di Rosa engages in, where the natural habitat of native grassland and riparian areas are being restored and native wildflowers propagated.
