Blue Note Napa is where live music meets Wine Country cool. Housed inside the historic Napa Valley Opera House, this intimate jazz club delivers world-class performances in a setting that feels effortlessly vibrant and welcoming. The experience is reminiscent of a classic Greenwich Village jazz club—small tables, a close-up stage, and an atmosphere so personal it feels like the band is playing just for you.
The menu keeps things casual and crowd-friendly, with shareable flatbreads, hearty burgers, and comforting gnocchi—perfect fuel for a night of live music. A Napa Valley wine is always a solid choice, but the cocktail list brings its own rhythm with drinks like the Jazz Man, a refreshing mix of gin, cucumber, honey, lime, and mint.
When summer rolls around, Blue Note Napa takes things outdoors with Summer Sessions at The Meritage Resort. This year’s lineup brings a mix of legendary and contemporary artists, featuring Grace Jones, the Gipsy Kings, and Snarky Puppy. With a vineyard backdrop and warm Napa nights, it’s a music experience unlike any other. From intimate jazz sets downtown to open-air concerts under the stars, Blue Note Napa creates unforgettable nights in Wine Country.
