Vineyard views and wine country life at Casa Della Luna Nascente (House of the Rising Moon) in beautiful Rutherford. Evenings here are magic, but at any time of day the estate is a sanctuary of peace and beauty sited on the valley floor near the base of a majestic mountain that defines the geography and vistas of Up Valley Napa. The gorgeous Mayacamas mountain range, rising above vineyards and olive trees, is the centerpiece of this secluded western exposure, offering a different version of itself each day. In winter, fingers of fog dissipate across its mid-rise. On summer evenings, misty rays of the setting sun beam across its ridges. It certainly defies description until one experiences it. This gated estate is officially in the Napa Valley's famed Rutherford district and is graced on its western side with a small vineyard and 69 fruiting olive trees of different varietals. A verdant, manicured lawn on the eastern side is flanked by towering fifty+ year old Italian cypress trees along the driveway, with views of the Vaca mountain range. All of this incredible pastoral escape is minutes from Napa Valley's finest dining, a short hop north to Saint Helena, a bit further to Calistoga, and south through Rutherford to Yountville and the city of Napa.
