 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.

Dreamweavers has a long history! The seed that would grow into Dreamweavers was planted in 1978, almost literally in "someone's back yard." Although it's been nearly thirty years since then, and Dreamweavers has seen lots of changes, at it's heart, it's still the same: a great group of people with a love for theater who are dedicated to sharing that love with the Napa Valley community.
