Sure, this year’s BottleRock Napa Valley festival features Tom Petty, Maroon 5, the Foo Fighters and more than 80 other top-flight musicians performing on four stages. But the festival, which runs May 26-28 in downtown Napa, is just as much about the food, wine and beer, as it is about the music — and the gourmet lineup has just been announced.
The culinary offerings are a mix of more than 40 high-end restaurants, popular food trucks — including The Chairman — and eclectic snack vendors, such as Krave Jerky and Pop Nation. Prefer your noshes on the upscale side? Morimoto, La Toque, Mustards Grill, La Taberna, Oenotri, Redd, Ca’Momi and Miminashi are all participating.
Wine cabanas and beverage bars will be pouring cocktails and craft brews — two dozen breweries are featured, including Lagunitas, Golden State Cider, Heretic Brewing, Green Flash, 21st Amendment and Stone. And more than 20 wineries are involved, including JaM Cellars, Silver Oak Cellars, Rombauer Vineyards, The Prisoner, Rutherford Hill and Sofia.
Still to come: Details on the chef-celebrity mashups that will unfold on the Williams-Sonoma culinary stage. Last year’s gastronomic antics involved a wide array of entertainers — members of Green Day, Cheech and Chong and Vida Blue, for example — paired with chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Tyler Florence and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto.
Three-day tickets and single-day tickets are selling swiftly. Find more details on the festival at www.bottlerocknapavalley.com.
