Supporting those that support the VINE TRAIL

At the risk of being cliché, making a 47-mile trail for walkers, joggers, bikers, strollers—for humans—come to fruition really does take a village. The symbiosis between service-oriented businesses and an amenity like the VINE TRAIL is a natural one. The more miles of trail that are built, the more people will come. The more people come, the more services from bike shops to sandwich purveyors will be needed. More trail = more business. And when those businesses support the completion of the VINE TRAIL, more business = more trail. A positive feedback loop of loveliness.
The following is a narrative trot through the Valley on the VINE TRAIL to visit only our newest membership partners—we have many more here that we’ll highlight in an upcoming post!
So, you’ve got sporty friends coming into town and that’s great but your house is too small. Or maybe they are family and your house is huge, but they are family and you love them but you’ll also want to shoot them out of a cannon after 11.5 hours in close proximity so you’ve learned—at last—that it’s really better for everyone if they stay at not-your-house. Good news! If you’re a VINE TRAIL member, Wine Country Inn and Cottages in St. Helena gets you a 15% discount.
Now, back to those sporty friends or family. They’re coming, they’re keen on this VINE TRAIL thing and you really don’t want to be shown up on your home turf.
