We’re the Napa Valley Heritage Network
— a new collaboration of local historical and cultural nonprofits, working together to guide you along the rich and winding trail of Napa’s history.

This heritage hub is just getting started — and we’re so glad you’re here!
Whether you’re a lifelong local, a frequent visitor — or just dreaming of your first trip here — you’re invited to explore the real inside stories of how today’s legendary Napa Valley came to be.
Make us your first stop on the Heritage Trail!
Let our passionate team of nonprofits be your guides in discovering what we like to call the “Napa Valley Heritage Trail” — a journey that winds through time and place, bridging past, present, and future. We aim to be a vibrant crossroads as we share highlights, stories, and upcoming events right here — and connect you directly to our partners’ pages for deeper exploration.
Napa Valley’s story is still unfolding
From its earliest indigenous settlement to today’s stewards, Napa’s history is ever-evolving — in every vineyard, every trail, every Main Street. It’s woven through the towns, trails, and traditions that shaped this extraordinary place.
Where the trail goes next is up to YOU! Come explore. Blaze your own trail. Find yourself in Napa Valley’s living story!
