Blue Note Napa Brings Intimate Jazz and Big Summer Concerts to Wine Country

By Keyla V.

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.
