Live Music & Seasonal Dinners
Two downtown rooms carry Napa's touring concert calendar, and dozens of wineries run harvest dinners you won't find on a wine-tasting map. This page tracks both — who's actually playing, who's cooking what, and where.
Napa Music Hall — 1030 Main Street
The historic Napa Valley Opera House, reimagined into two rooms under new management in 2026: The Ballroom upstairs, about 650 capacity, for standing-room touring acts, and The Club below, roughly 160 seated, for jazz, blues, and acoustic sets. Both walkable from Oxbow Public Market.
The California Honeydrops
New Orleans-rooted soul and funk band, known for a horn-driven live show and for busking their way up from Bay Area BART platforms early in their career.
Katchafire
Reggae band from Aotearoa New Zealand, one of the country's best-known roots-reggae exports.
The Green — Titles Tour
Hawai'ian reggae band touring their album Titles.
Roger Clyne & PH Naffah
Roger Clyne, frontman of Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, in a stripped-down duo set with drummer PH Naffah. The small room suits this one — worth it for the intimacy alone.
Tribal Seeds — Heavy Vibes Tour, with Fortunate Youth
San Diego reggae band, nearly two decades into a career built on steady touring; Fortunate Youth opens.
Samantha Fish, with the Zac Schulze Gang
Blues-rock guitarist and singer on her Paper Doll world tour.
José González
Swedish singer-songwriter, solo acoustic set — Against the Dying of the Light tour.
Killer Queen, featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury
Long-running Queen tribute act; a reliable Uptown regular for the spectacle without waiting on a reunion tour that isn't coming.

Harvest dinners worth booking
Harvest 2026 came in weeks early — see the full harvest guide — and the winery dinner calendar has followed the same accelerated timeline. These are confirmed, dated, and open for booking as of mid-September.
Harvest Festival & Grape Stomp
Two-day event (19–20 Sept): old-fashioned barefoot grape stomping followed by a family-style lunch. The most kid-friendly harvest event on this list.
Crush Party
Grape stomp, live music, and food from the estate's live-fire kitchen at their working winery. $160–$195.A big, loud harvest party rather than a quiet dinner.
Harvest Dinner
Three-course seated dinner paired with single-vineyard Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Owner Bob Biale and winemaker David Natali host, sharing the story of the vintage as it's poured.$210 club members / $250 retail
Pomegranate & Paella Party
Annual harvest-season celebration built around a paella cook and the estate's pomegranate harvest.
More harvest dinners are added throughout the season — the fullest running list is kept by Napa Valley Vintners. Most require advance reservations and sell out once announced.
