Napa County has crunched the numbers on its 2025 farm season, and the verdict is in: winegrapes still run the valley. The Agricultural Commissioner’s Office released the 2025 Napa County Agricultural Crop Report today, showing a local farm economy overwhelmingly built on vineyard rows, with total gross agricultural production hitting $974.2 million and winegrapes accounting for nearly all of it. Overall production slipped a bit, but stronger prices for some varieties helped keep the bottom line high. The report also spotlights extensive pest monitoring work and features a student art contest on its cover.
Key numbers from the 2025 report
The report pegs total county agricultural production in 2025 at $974,204,600 and values the winegrape harvest at $968,687,700. Growers harvested 144,807 tons from 42,937 bearing acres. Overall winegrape production came in 1.6 percent lower than in 2024 and 0.4 percent below the 10-year average. Winegrape value fell by $62,342,600 compared with 2024, and the average price per ton for all winegrapes landed at $6,690, a 4.5 percent drop, according to the County of Napa.

"Our overall value is higher than anticipated," Agricultural Commissioner Tracy Cleveland said, noting that per-ton prices helped cushion the impact of a modest decline in tonnage, according to the County of Napa. The report shows that merlot, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon together made up about 81 percent of winegrape value and roughly 73 percent of winegrape production. Merlot production totaled 10,076 tons, while chardonnay came in at 18,468 tons.
Grapes and the wider farm mix
Once you step outside the vineyards, the numbers shrink quickly. Olives produced about 112 tons valued at $373,200, vegetable crops totaled roughly $532,300, and total livestock, including increased poultry values, reached about $3.94 million. Floral and nursery value edged up to $126,400 even as the reported production area dropped sharply.
Those modest figures underline just how much the winegrape harvest drives Napa’s overall agricultural totals. The broader wine industry in Napa County is estimated to generate more than $11 billion in annual economic impact, according to Napa Valley Vintners.
Pest monitoring and where to get a copy
Behind the glossy report is a lot of unglamorous pest-control work. County staff serviced tens of thousands of monitoring traps and inspected thousands of plant shipments to keep out the glassy-winged sharpshooter and other invasive pests. Copies of the crop report are available online, at county libraries and at the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office at 1710 Soscol Avenue, Suite 3 in Napa; the county lists the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office as the contact for questions, according to Napa County.
Beyond the spreadsheets, the 2025 Crop Report bundles short articles on local policy, UC Cooperative Extension projects, parcel inspections and industry workshops that help put the numbers in context for growers and residents. For producers, the figures are a reminder that price swings can soften or sharpen the financial impact of a lighter harvest. For policymakers, the report underlines why pest monitoring and farmworker supports remain front-burner issues. County staff said they are available to answer questions about the report and related programs.
