I support Raymond Vineyards Modified Use Permit, which is being heard by the Napa County Planning Department on July 16th, 2014. This hearing is intended to resolve Raymond Vineyards long-delayed Use Permit modification. Raymond Vineyards has made a major change versus the original 2012 plan: They have decided for now to drop their request to increase the winery’s production capacity. The focus of this July 16th hearing will be on general site improvements as well as proposed updates to the winery's Marketing Plan.
Raymond Vineyards has a strong commitment to educating guests at their 90 acre Bio-Dynamic and Organic Estate Vineyard. On the property, they have dedicated two acres to the Theater of Nature while also dedicating a full room to the 11 Napa Valley Appellations’ soil types surrounding a three-dimensional map of Napa Valley. Also, last year Raymond Vineyards added enough solar to power the entire Raymond Winery facility, while also adding an electrical car charging station to their public parking lot. Finally, Raymond Vineyards has donated their facility, amazing auction lots (Raymond had the top Auction lot this year at Napa Valley Auction) and thousands of cases of wine to great organizations such as The Land Trust, Festival del Sol, Napa Valley Hospice, Napa Valley Wine Auction, Boys and Girls Club and the Napa Valley Film Festival.
Raymond Vineyards' goal has always been to create a unique and educational experience for their guests but they are also fully committed to the local communities and the environment.
For these reasons, I support the approval of Raymond Vineyards Use Permit.

I am currently coordinating with the planning department to ensure our position on the site improvements remains front and center. Call your county representative today to demand that they approve this permit without further delay. Send a direct email to the planning commissioners and tell them why this estate matters to our local community.

Raymond is doing great things for Napa. They keep the land beautiful and give back a ton to the community. Let them have the permit.
Love this place. Best wine experience in the valley by far and their solar setup is awesome. Stop holding them back.
Just let them run the business. They have done nothing but improve the property and educate people about organic farming.
Ridiculous that this has been delayed so long. They are clearly trying to do things right for the environment.
Have always felt welcomed there. They represent Napa so well and the local charities really benefit from their generosity.
