Father’s Day in Napa: Celebrate with Beer & BBQ

Whether you’re raising a glass to your dad, grandpa, husband, or just one of the great guys in your life, Napa is the perfect place to celebrate Father’s Day. With a thriving craft brew scene, delicious BBQ brunches, and scenic spots to relax and unwind, it’s easy to plan a day (or weekend) he’ll actually look forward to.

Start with a Toast: Napa’s Craft Beer Scene:
Napa has so much more than wine, and Father’s Day is the ideal time to explore its local breweries. From riverside patios to laid-back beer gardens, there’s a brew — and a vibe — for every kind of dad.

Napa Yard
This laid-back outdoor beer garden is made for warm-weather sipping. With plenty of space, live music and rotating beers on tap, it’s a fun, relaxed spot for dads who love good beer and great company.

Downtown Joe’s Brewery
Right along the riverfront, Downtown Joe’s offers classic brews in a casual setting. Grab a seat on the patio, order a round and soak in the riverside views.

Trade Brewing
Small batch, big flavor. Trade Brewing is known for its craft IPAs and creative pours — perfect for the dad who loves trying something new.

Fieldwork Brewing Company
Tucked into the Oxbow District, Fieldwork is a local favorite with a rotating tap list and a breezy indoor-outdoor setup. It’s a great place to kick back and sample something new.
