Five for Fighting, Rodrigo Y Gabriela set to headline Yountville Live in Napa

Five for Fighting and Rodrigo Y Gabriela will headline the next edition of the Yountville Live music, food and wine festival.

Mark your calendars for March 16th through the 19th. The festival will take place in and around the town of Yountville in the heart of the Napa Valley.

Other artists scheduled to perform include: Brendan James, Zach Heckendorf, Keaton Simmons, Jon McLaughlin, Johnnyswim, Emerson Hart, Jillette Johnson, Joseph, Mayer Hawthorne, Paul Loren, Ryan Corn, Lolo, Silverado Pickups, among several others. Phew. Quite the line-up!

This being Napa, of course, expect also copious amounts of food and wine.

A welcome gala kicks off Yountville Live 2017 with “an elegant evening of globally recognized music, wine and food, featuring four world-renowned chefs cooking side-by-side for guests.”

Chefs participating in the festival include: Thomas Keller Group (Team USA), Chris Cosentino, Chris Kollar, Graham Elliot, Claudia Sansone, Gale Gand, Michael Chiarello, Bob Hurley, Nate Lindsey, Morgan Robinson, Ernesto Martinez, Ed Sheets, Kevin Miller, David Roberts, Seijun Okano, Victor Scargle, Chris Patrick, and Dean Max. Safe to say, our palettes will be happy as can be.

Once again, “Taste of Yountville” will serve as the marquee event, anchoring the weekend of Yountville Live on Friday, March 17 and Saturday, March 18, 2017.

Taste “includes customized programs and activations from our partners at the V Market Pavilion, some of Napa Valley’s most revered wineries at the Wine Pavilion, an exclusive beer garden and live chef demonstrations at the Culinary Pavilion, and live musical performances at the North Yountville Pavilion, making this the must see center of attention during Yountville Live.
