"Tap Into Napa Valley" - Napa Valley Vine Trail Launches Digital Smart Trail Powered by NFC, Enhancing Access and Sustainability Across 47 Miles

NAPA, Calif., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition, in collaboration with Quantum-h and Cellotape announces the launch of a digitally connected trail experience designed to make the 47-mile route connecting Vallejo Ferry Terminal to Calistoga Depot more connected, accessible, and sustainable.

The trail will feature dozens of new NFC - enabled markers that turn each tap into a "Digital Destination". Each marker will allow an estimated 400,000 – 500,000 people who use the Vine Trail annually, to simply tap their smartphones for instant access to hyper-local content including winery stories, educational insights, promotional offers, and exclusive sponsor pages.

"It's about enriching the journey in a sustainable way while connecting communities, cultures and causes."

"Quantum-h's mission is to connect the physical world to the digital one, and the Napa Valley Vine Trail is a perfect example of this," said Amy Kelly, Marketing Director at Quantum-h. "We're transforming the trail into more than a path – it's becoming a living, breathing digital ecosystem that supports local Napa Valley businesses, delights visitors, and delivers real-time engagement insights."
