Originally published in an email by Napa Valley Vintners on March 11, 2025, titled “Napa Valley Wine Industry Continues to Support Local Community”.
On March 5, community leaders and donors gathered to celebrate the new Mentis Wellness Campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This milestone was made possible by a $1 million grant from Napa Valley Vintners using funds raised through Collective Napa Valley’s Auction Weekend. In recognition of this contribution, a dedicated space within the campus has been named the Napa Valley Vintners Youth Wellness Wing.
This investment reflects NVV’s deep-rooted commitment to the well-being of our community, aligning with our broader strategy to strengthen community relations. It also serves as a powerful example of how the wine industry continues to promote, protect and enhance Napa Valley – today, and for generations to come.
The 13,000-square-foot campus provides a centralized hub for mental health and wellness services. Designed with a holistic approach to care, the campus features private therapy rooms, a workshop space, an art studio, outdoor areas for movement activities and a community garden.
Mentis describes the Campus as “an innovative new vision for community-based mental health,” allowing the organization to expand its reach and serve even more Napa County residents.
“Napa Valley Vintners’ $1 million investment in Mentis is a game-changer for mental health in our community. This support allows us to expand high-quality, accessible mental health services for individuals and families who need it most. Together, we’re ensuring that Napa County residents have the resources and care they deserve to thrive.”

This project is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together as a wine community to care for Napa Valley’s people. Thank you to all who have made this possible!
