The Napa Valley Vine Trail® serves as an important asset that increases bike and pedestrian safety, provides alternative transportation choices, shifts cars off the highway, offers free access for everyone to enjoy the out of doors.
The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition (NVVTC) is a grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in the Napa Valley by creating a 47-mile multi-use trail separate from cars. We have a shared vision of creating a safer place for people to connect outdoors while protecting our natural resources. 100% of your support helps us complete a legacy trail that will last for generations to come and allow both our residents and visitors to experience the Napa “good life.
Your Gifts at Work
Your gifts to NVVTC stay in our community. They support the maintenance of three sections open and engineering for the two links of 14 miles in progress. Since the newest Vine Trail sections opened in August 2024, we’ve seen a jump of 214,000 new Vine Trail users, removing even more cars from the highway, relieving congestion, and giving a safer route to school and businesses, and offering a relaxing path to just getting out and enjoying our beautiful Napa Valley.
Build a mile of trail in a local Napa Valley neighborhood
NVVTC is working to expand and connect the Vine Trail to St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville or Carneros spaces to get more people outside. Join us in delivering the joy of trails to everyone, everywhere
Beautifying Napa Valley Vine Trail
NVVTC visionary Vine Trail™ initiative supports our local agency’s to maintain a world-class trail network. The Coalition supports weekly trash pickup, mowing, tree trimming, path surface repair and pollinator gardens.
Safely connecting our community
Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition provides rest stops, shelters, bike repair stations, wayfinding, and mile markers to reassure even the most cautious trail user that they can relax and enjoy the journey. Since 2014, the Vine Trail has been a safer place to ride and walk; 8x more people use it than on the street or bike paths, and kids have a safer place to ride their bikes.
Access for All
We believe that every person deserves a safe place outdoors. Since opening Oak Knoll in 2014, over 3 million trail users have had free access to slow down, get outdoors, discover new areas of the Valley, and spend time with those they love. The Vine Trail connects us to parks, neighborhoods, transit stops, schools, and local businesses. The Vine Trail is a free and accessible way to connect with your everyday life.
Experiential Education for Viticulture, Sustainability, and Napa Valley History
Education signs point out landmarks and interests; they also spread the critical message for sustainable agriculture, winemaking, and the history of the Napa Valley. Over 25 interpretive signs are placed along 22 miles of the Vine Trail. An additional 23 will be added along American Canyon, Carneros, River Sound, Oakville, Rutherford and St Helena. Audio lessons and videos amplify the messages on the website and the app.
Create a safer, more comfortable environment for trail users of all experience levels
Underwriting and naming opportunities at signature stops along the trail provide stopping points, bike repair, water, rest stops and navigation. These trail elements offer reassurance that all skill levels are welcome to enjoy the best Napa Life.
According to the federal transportation department, since 2014, the Vine Trail has diverted 30,000 cars off Highway 29 annually, reducing 100 tons of greenhouse gas emissions in Napa Valley and achieving national recognition as a 1% For The Planet recipient.
