More food festivals in Napa

Festival Napa Valley ★ 4.1

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.

BottleRock Napa Valley ★ 4.2

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.
