BottleRock Napa Valleywill once again bring some of the biggest names from the food and music worlds together on its culinary stage, when the sold-out music festival returns to its traditional Memorial Day weekend spot this year at the Napa Valley Expo.
Among the celebrity chefs slated to appear at the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage during the three-day festival, set to run May 27-29, are Roy Choi of Kogi BBQ food truck fame; Aarón Sánchez, a judge on “MasterChef”; andMichael Mina背后的餐馆,一些高档的海湾地区spots such as Pabu Izakaya in San Francisco and the Bungalow Kitchen in Tiburon. They will be joined by several of this year’s musical headliners, including Pink, Twenty One Pilots, Luke Combs, and E-40 and Too Short of the rap supergroup Mount Westmore, among others.
Also set to appear are celebrity chefs such as brothers Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, Todd English, Matt Horn, Aaron May, Tiffani Thiessen, Amirah Kassem, Adam Sobel, and Belle English.
The Emmy Award-winning television personality Liam Mayclem will return as host of the lively — and sometimes chaotic — cooking demonstrations.
“The 2022 Williams Sonoma Stage lineup is a blockbuster, filled with great pairings between culinary stars, our musical headliners and some great personalities and celebrities,” Dave Graham, one of the partners at BottleRock Napa Valley, said in a statement. “We’re looking forward to some memorable culinary stage moments for festival fans.”
Theculinary stageis one of the most popular attractions at BottleRock, thanks to its once-in-a-lifetime demonstrations, which have included Masaharu Morimoto teaching Snoop Dogg to roll sushi and the East Bay rapper G-Eazy doing shots with Ayesha Curry.
Among the long list of celebrities and musicians appearing on the stage this year are Oakland A’s great Rickey Henderson, George Kittle of the 49ers, rapper Warren G, festival veteran musician Michael Franti, Silversun Pickups, retired San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence, WWE wrestling tag team sisters the Bella Twins and radio personality Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’Abate.
In addition to watching the personalities onstage, attendees can sample bites from some ofWine Country’s biggest chefs. The event will offer the first taste of Charlie’s, a restaurant coming to St. Helena this fall from French Laundry alum Elliot Bell, plus the return of staples such as Cynthia Pawlcyn’s famed Mustards Grill, Michelin-starred La Toque and Italian favorite Oenotri.
There will also be wines from Napa Valley’s most well-known wineries, including Duckhorn Portfolio, the Prisoner Wine Co., Schramsberg Vineyards, Robert Mondavi Winery and Mumm Napa.
The luxury outdoor festival, which typically draws 120,000 people every Memorial Day weekend, came back last year on Labor Day weekend following several postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
