Evening activities around Yountville?

Much of Yountville seems to revolve around the amazing restaurants -- but is there much to do other than having dinner?

What's open in the evening? Any tasting rooms? Galleries? Anything?

I'm not looking for late night; just options for, say, 6 to 9 p.m.

Yountville is a charming town in Napa Valley, and while it’s most famous for its world-class restaurants, there are a few enjoyable ways to spend an evening outside of dining. Keep in mind that Yountville is relatively small and most tasting rooms and galleries close by early evening, so options after 6 p.m. are somewhat limited but still worthwhile.

Evening activities around Yountville:

  • Wine tasting: Many tasting rooms in Yountville close by 6 or 7 p.m., but a few might offer extended hours during weekends or special events. Some hotels also have wine bars with evening service.
  • Art galleries: While most galleries close by early evening, a stroll around the town allows you to enjoy public art, sculptures, and galleries that sometimes have evening openings or private events.
  • Wine bar lounges: Small wine bars in town or hotel lounges offer casual tastings and a cozy atmosphere in the evening.

Other options:

  • Evening stroll: Walk around Yountville’s charming streets, admire boutique storefronts, and public art installations. The town is well-lit and very safe for a relaxed stroll.
  • Outdoor wine gardens: Some wineries or hotels may have outdoor seating or garden areas where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the evening ambiance.
  • Special events: Check local calendars—sometimes there are evening concerts, seasonal events, or movie nights hosted by hotels or the town.

In short, while Yountville’s evenings are quiet compared to larger towns, a combination of a relaxing stroll, enjoying hotel wine bars, or attending any seasonal events can make for a delightful evening between 6 and 9 p.m. Most visitors plan to pair their evening with a wonderful dinner, then take in the serene atmosphere afterward.
