Visitors will be able to explore the windswept island and learn about its layered history through outdoor interpretive signs, a Discovery Guide island map, and exhibits.

Learn about the history of California as you sip wine and snack in the plaza considered to be the birthplace of the state while exploring one of California's most fascinating wineries, which is also home to hundreds of centuries-old olive trees.
