MCD Member Trip to Oliver Ranch
April 22, 2018 @ 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
MCD members are invited to join us on a tour of Oliver Ranch in rural Sonoma County. This MCD Member trip is open to all levels of members, but space is limited so reserve your spot early!
April 22, 2018 | 10:00 AM
$125.00 per person
Oliver Ranch is home to 18 site-specific installations by Andy Goldsworthy, Ann Hamilton, Bruce Nauman, Judith Shea and several other world-renowned artists. Nancy and Steve Oliver have been building their collection for over 25 years. They work closely with each of the artists, who become part family, part collaborators and part idols. The Olivers describe their adventures more as “collecting experiences” than “collecting art.” Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to hear the stories behind the installations during a two-mile guided tour.
The Olivers provide access to the Ranch to help select non-profit organization to raise funds. We are fortunate to be able to offer this exciting experience to our members.
There are only a few spots remaining. Reserve your spot here.
Please note, we are unable to provide refunds for cancellations after April 9. Download additional group tour information here.

REGISTRANT TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
Please review our important meetup and transportation instructions below for the upcoming tour of Oliver Ranch on Sunday, April 22:
We will meet as a group at the Geyserville Park & Ride on Remmell Road (one block east of Geyserville Ave, next to the railroad tracks) by 9:15 AM. Street parking and a limited number of Park & Ride spots will be available. We will begin loading the buses with a strict departure time of 9:45 AM. Your timely arrival is greatly appreciated, as we cannot delay our arrival to Oliver Ranch.
Personal vehicles are not allowed access to the Ranch so all guests must arrive and leave together on one of MCD’s provided buses. It is a quick 5-minute ride to and from the Ranch.
Upon arrival, our tour will begin promptly at 10:00 AM and will last 2.5 hours. The tour covers approximately 2.5 miles with 600 feet of up and down elevation change. It can be likened to a light hike in the woods as the paths are unpaved. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Please also note, there are no restroom facilities available at Oliver Ranch so we ask you to make a restroom stop before loading onto the bus (the Geyserville Coffee Company is a short block from the Park & Ride for restrooms).
Once the tour is complete, we will load back on the buses and drop off at the Park & Ride around 1:00 PM. Lunch will not be provided but there is an assortment of restaurants to choose from in the area including Diavola Pizzeria & Salumeria, Catelli’s, and the SHED in Healdsburg.
