Napa Impacts California Economy
The report released by MKF Research to the Napa Valley Vintners Association, shows that the Napa county wine industry impacts
the California economy by 9.5 Billion dollars annually and is responsible for over 1/5 of the total economic impact of wine in California. Another interesting stat is that the wine industry provides directly and indirectly for over half the residents in Napa County’s yearly income, with total wages at 1.4 Billion annually. As a result, land values have skyrocketed,
In the last ten years, the value of the winegrape crop in Napa County jumped from $167,682,000 to $379,930,000 – an increase of 127%, while planted vineyard acreage only increased by 19% — or 5,917 acres.
