Live Music & Seasonal Dinners

🔄 This page updates itself automatically. Concert calendars and winery dinner listings change constantly — acts get added, dates shift, dinners sell out. Showing the last confirmed listing as of 13 September 2026 while today's check runs… Always check the venue or winery directly before you book.

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 Uptown Theatre, 1350 Third Street A harvest dinner on the crush pad

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.

Sun 6 Sept · The Ballroom

Katchafire

Reggae band from Aotearoa New Zealand, one of the country's best-known roots-reggae exports.

Wed 11 Nov · The Club

Roger Clyne & PH Naffah

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.

Sat 19 Sept · PEJU Family Winery, Rutherford

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.

Fri 16 Oct · V. Sattui, St. Helena

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.

Sat 17 Oct · Robert Biale Vineyards

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

Sat 10 Oct · Tres Sabores, Rutherford

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.

Tell the sommelier what kind of night you're after — a show, a harvest dinner, both back to back — and it'll work out the timing.
