Besides the world-class art our guests will experience as part of our Oliver Ranch tour on Saturday, April 27, our guests will await the plucking of lucky tickets in our Oliver Ranch raffle drawing. Each guest will get a free raffle ticket and the prizes include:
- America’s Cup Oracle Team official crew shirts
- Alegio Chocolate tasting and tour for six
- A bottle of fine, tongue-tickling Champagne
- True Grass Organic Farms tour and lunch for two
- Two tickets to a performance by the renowned group Chanticleer, “An Orchestra of Voices”
Limited seats remain on the luxury bus that will take us into the Oliver Ranch for our tour (no cars allowed on the ranch), so if you plan to join us, please register on our website today!
On this morning walk in the gentle, wooded hills of Alexander Valley, you’ll encounter one-of-a-kind installations
by Ann Hamilton, Richard Serra, Andy Goldsworthy, Martin Puryear, and other world-renowned artists commissioned to endow this wine country landscape with their creative vision.
Your tour guide will be none other than ranch owner Steve Oliver, former SFMOMA board chairman. A passionate supporter of the arts, Mr. Oliver has also served on the board of the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. If you'd like to learn more about Steve Oliver and his deep roots in the arts community — or about the remarkable evolution of Oliver Ranch — we recommend his biography on the California College of the Arts website, this article on SculpSite, or this SculpSite podcast.
Tours of this exclusive art preserve are granted solely to select, non-profit groups for use as fundraising benefits. The ranch donates all tours to the group hosting it. Your donation will go entirely to WriterCoach Connection -- Mr. Oliver conducts the tours of this magnificant art reserve free of charge.
Your $195 donation to WriterCoach Connection includes:
• A delicious pre-tour breakfast in Healdsburg
• A luxury charter bus to and from the ranch
• A 2.5-hour guided tour by owner Steve Oliver (10:00am - 12:30pm)
• The aforementioned raffle prizes to enjoy along the way
We hope you'll join us for a memorable spring day in the heart of Sonoma's enchanting Alexander Valley wine country.
