The Barn Tour August 29, 2010

Napa, CA – Preservation Napa Valley, in partnership with the Napa County Farm Bureau, presents the second annual Barn Tour—2010, featuring numerous historic barns, places of interest and hidden gems of the Carneros region.

Adastra Vineyards will serve as the hub for the day’s activities, including Brunch in a Barn with a make-your-own garden fresh tomato juice station, acoustic bluegrass, a farm/rural-focused art show from the Wandering Rose art collective and a talk by Preservation Napa Valley director Wendy Ward.

And, once again, there will be a very limited edition, collectable Barn Tour poster by artist Mike Gray available for sale at $45/each (artist will be on site to sign).

Tickets are limited, as The Barn Tour takes place on back roads, small lanes and in old buildings.

Ticket holders will receive a map and tour program detailing the background of each site. Docents will be on hand at each barn stop.

Don’t miss the most talked about, sold out event of last year—where you will see Napa’s agricultural heritage in a way not to be forgotten!
