of The Valley
 di
Rosa Preserve
- The current di Rosa Preserve is a portion of the original
460 acres of land purchased by Rene di Rosa in 1960. Vineyards
were established in 1855, but the land and building had
fallen into disuse. Phylloxera in the late 19th Century
and Prohibition in the 20th Century did away with the vineyards,
and the 1886 stone winery was used for making moonshine,
growing mushrooms, storing grain and hay, and milling. After
Rene di Rosa purchased the acreage, the stone winery was
converted into a home and the land turned from dairy cattle
to grapes once again. In 1963, Winery Lake Vineyards was
established. Vines eventually covered some 250 acres and
through the years the quality fruit was sought by over 50
wineries. Seagram purchased the famed Winery Lake Vineyard
in 1986.
 Napa
Valley Opera House - The
Napa Valley Opera House was built in 1879 as one of the
first "respectable" venues west of the Mississippi
River. For the latter half of the 19th century, the Napa
Valley Opera House was the cultural center for the region,
until the decline of vaudeville and other pressures forced
it to go dark in 1914.The house was nearly destroyed until
a few Napa Valley Opera House devotees spared it from the
wrecking ball in the early 1970s.For the last 15 years,
the NVOH has been slowly restoring itself for a new future
through a series of fundraising challenges, construction
activities and visionary plans. The house came back to life
in June 2002 with the opening of the Cafe Theatre; its historic
main hall is expected to reopen in late summer, 2003, in
all of its original splendor.

Marshall's
Farm Honey -
We At Marshall's Farm have a hand-crafted
approach to traditional honey production. Our Beekeeper
Spencer Marshall Harvests small quantities of superior quality
gourmet honey in the very special microclimates of the San
Francisco Bay Area. Spencer searches out locations that
support only a few hives but produce exceptional tasting
honeys. The diverse & constantly changing seasonal blooms
of the Bay Area (Eucalyptus, Star Thistle, Wildflower, Blackberry
& others) produce floral nectars & pollens that
differ greatly in taste, texture & color. Spencer harvests
after each bloom, isolates the honey harvested from each
apiary & thus creates the special flavor nuances &
wonderful color variations in Marshall's Farm delectably
delicious honey.
