On Saturday, October 25, we invite you to join CCAI on the Road as we tour the di Rosa Preserve: Art and Nature and the Hess Winery and Collection in the California's Napa Valley.

The di Rosa Preserve: Art and Nature is considered the most significant collection of Bay Area art in the world and houses more than 2,200 works of art by more than 900 artists. A gift to the public from passionate art collector Rene di Rosa, the Preserve is located on 217 scenic acres in the Napa Valley. We will have lunch at the Bistro Don Giovanni in the sculpture garden.
