Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Land Resources Conservation
Mission: The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition is a grass-roots nonprofit with a vision to build a walking/biking trail system to connect the entire Napa Valley--physically, artistically, and culturally. We are working to design, fund, construct, and maintain 47 safe and scenic miles of level, paved, family-friendly, pet-friendly, free-access Class 1 trail, stretching from the Vallejo ferry to Calistoga.
Programs: Working with our public agency partner, the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA), the first 6. 5 mile phase of the VINE TRAIL between Redwood Road in Napa and California Drive in Yountville was completed in the fall of 2016. This $9 million project is partly funded with two large federal and state grants totaling $6. 1 million and a contribution from the Vine Trail of $2. 7 million. The Coalition began construction of the third and fourth iconic Vine Trail shelters/rest stops. These facilities have maps, bike racks, benches and bike work stations. In May 2016, the Napa Valley Vine Trail was the recipient of the prestigious California Transportation Foundation's Pedestrian/Bicycle Project of the Year. In October 2016, the Coalition learned that the grant application which the Coalition had prepared for submission through the Solano Transportation Authority and City of Vallejo had been awarded a $4. 2 million grant to construct the VINE TRAIL between Vallejo and American Canyon. The Coalition began its first arts program, the "Railroad Arts District and has installed three large murals on the VINE TRAIL route in the city of Napa and helped fund two murals in Yountville. The Vine Trail hired its first volunteer coordinator and had over 80 individuals planting trees along the VINE TRAIL on Martin Luther King Day. The programs committee initiated the Walk with a Doc program and has hosted a monthly walk since October 2016. Vine Trail staff have also led a monthly coffee ride on the VINE TRAIL. The Vine Trail Coalition will continue its mission of creating a safe, scenic and beautiful trail for residents and visitors to napa valley.
The organization continues to raise funds for its Vine Trail project. It also promoted its mission by assisting with special events in collaboration with other organizations, marketing and participating in local festivals with information booths.
The organization provides ongoing trail maintenance for the Town of Yountville and the City and County of Napa.
