Going to BottleRock Napa Valley?

The ultimate convergence of world-class music, food, and wine, drawing 120,000 fans over three days at the Napa Valley Expo. Celebrity chefs share stages with A-list headliners while 200+ wineries pour at curated tasting stations throughout the grounds. The Culinary Stage — where rock stars and Michelin chefs collaborate live — is unlike anything else in the festival world.

Your trip blueprint

1
Arrive a day early
Settle in and visit a local producer before the crowds arrive — fly into San Francisco International (SFO).
2
Festival (3 days)
Three days over Memorial Day weekend, annual. Best for couples and foodies.
3
Extend into the region (2 days)
Napa Valley has 1,188 mapped wineries — add 2 days to explore at your own pace.
Insider tip

Buy 3-day GA passes the moment they go on sale — they sell out within hours. The Culinary Stage has free standing room; arrive 30 minutes early for winemaker pairings.
