Where to Get Picnic Baskets in Napa
Napa restaurants, wineries, gourmet delis, and food trucks are all great options for getting picnic fixings to take along to a concert. You can either pack your own basket or have one of the many food establishments handle it for you. Local favorites include Bouchon Bakery in Yountville, First & Franklin Marketplace or Soda Canyon Store in Napa, Oakville Grocery in Oakville, and V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena.
Downtown Joe’s is also open for takeout, and best of all, we’re located just a short one-minute walk from Veterans Memorial Park! You can easily place your order online or stop by and have a brew or two before picking up your food and heading over to the concert.
Of course, you can enjoy outdoor dining at Downtown Joe’s all summer long. We’d love to have you visit us any time and help us celebrate our 25 years in downtown Napa. We’re open indoors and out, and our famous bar team is heading outside to mix it up! We accept phone-in reservations up to four hours ahead of seating time and online reservations 24 hours in advance. Of course, walk-ins are always welcome and there’s never a long wait!
