BottleRock Napa Valley is a food festival in Napa.
BottleRock is Napa's three-day music, wine and food festival on Memorial Day weekend, drawing 120,000 total attendees across the event. The Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage hosts celebrity chef demonstrations, and local restaurants operate pop-up food stations with real menu items. One of the most significant food-tourism events in Northern California.

Tip: The Culinary Stage has limited standing room and fills 30+ minutes before each demonstration. The Thursday pre-festival is the quietest and easiest day to experience the food programme.
The Napa Truffle Festival is the only US wine-country truffle event: four days of fresh Perigord and Bianchetto truffle-focused dinners, a public truffle market at the CIA at Copia, educational foraging walks and a gala dinner at a Napa Valley leading restaurant. Founded in 2012.
Tip: The gala dinner sells out first. Book the gala or a participating restaurant dinner early; the truffle market is walk-in on the Saturday morning.
Festival Napa Valley is a performing arts and food celebration held across multiple Napa city and valley venues each July. The food component includes winemaker dinners at leading restaurants, vineyard picnics and a Gala in the Cave at several major Napa Valley estates. The culinary programme runs parallel to the arts events.
Tip: The Gala in the Cave (held inside a working barrel cave at a Napa Valley estate) is the most distinctive food-and-wine experience in the festival. Tickets sell out in March.
