5200 Sonoma Hwy. (Hwy. 121)/near Duhig Rd., 6 mi. SW of town, (707) 226-5991. W-Sun 10-6; Nov-Mar 10-4. Gallery: $5 donation; tours: $9-$15, reservations required; under 12 free. No pets.
The show at this expansive 217-acre contemporary art museum and sculpture park begins in the parking lot, where wrought-iron sheep greet visitors. The di Rosa gallery is one of the largest regional art collections in the country, and tours last 1 to 2½ hours. So extensive is the collection of more than 2,000 pieces by Northern California artists that a tram is used to shuttle guests from the Gatehouse Gallery to the Main Gallery, located in a converted tractor barn. Visitors then walk past the Sculpture Meadow to a 19th-century stone winery building that was converted into a house and now into a gallery. The property is also a nature preserve and is a stopping point for migratory birds. It features towering oaks, a 100-year-old olive orchard, a 35-acre lake, and its own vocal flock of peacocks.
