Napa Yard Now Fully Open On 3.5 Acres In Downtown Napa

NAPA, CA — Community members are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors and indulge in a range of offerings at a new beer garden-distillery-restaurant-wine tasting-event space situated on 3.5 acres of trees, orchards and organic gardens along the Napa River in downtown Napa.

It is called Napa Yard-Oxbow Garden, and it is now fully open as a culinary destination and agricultural outdoor oasis.

"Napa Yard’s new Garden Kitchen and the introduction of the Yard N’ Go Market, embody our passion for creating exceptional culinary experiences," said Napa Yard Executive Chef Daniel Tellez. "We are excited to provide our guests with diverse ways to engage with our farm-to-table concept, whether they choose to dine in, take our farm-fresh food home, or join us for a unique garden dining experience."

Nature's Bounty + Gastronomic Delights = Garden Kitchen

The Garden Kitchen represents a new chapter in Napa Yard’s culinary journey by celebrating the harmony between nature's bounty and gastronomic delights. Sourced directly from the onsite gardens which produce a bounty of fresh, seasonal ingredients — some of which were part of the original project of Copia that was created by Robert Mondavi — and carefully selected purveyors, the evolving menu changes weekly and every ingredient reflects a celebration of the region's abundant harvests, presented in imaginative and flavorful culinary creations.

Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful flora under the outdoor pavilions, the Garden Kitchen table service experience is available through October, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday-Sunday, as well as for dinner from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday.

Beer Garden Menu + Garden-Influenced Cocktails

Guests can also now order from the expansive Beer Garden Menu. Chef Tellez has crafted a fresh take on California-inspired garden-to-plate food, with all-day menu favorites such as Shrimp Cocktail, Miso Dip & Spring Crudites, Beef Birria Tacos and a Smash Burger. The bar offers a garden-influenced cocktail program developed by the onsite distillery, Concordia Spirits, along with a large selection of craft beers on tap and curated wine flights.

The beverage menu features an assortment of fresh garden cocktails including the Boozé Frosé, Oaxacan Love Song, Beet Negroni, Jacky’s Sweet Tea and Gerard’Z Buzz which features honey from the onsite hives and Concordia Spirit’s Coda Gin.

Yard N' Go Market = Local Artisan Vendors

The new Yard N’ Go Market boasts products from local artisan vendors including coffee from Barnhouse, a variety of products from Napa Nuts, honey from Gerard’Z Honeybees and fresh pastries from Winston’s, along with housemade BBQ sauce and salsa from Napa Yard, pickled vegetables from the gardens, and Napa Yard-branded merchandise. The market is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday-Sunday.

Pop-Up Wednesdays = Farm-To-Table Dining

Napa Yard is dedicated to providing farm-to-table dining experiences that embrace the essence of locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. With a passion for culinary creativity, Napa Yard is hosting Pop-up Wednesday events each week, offering a variety of vendors including hand-crafted smoked meats in Central Texas style from Sticky Business Barbeque; and wood-fired pizza from Fancy Savage Cuisine.

The 3.5-acre property boasts a wine shed for curated tastings, as well as a harvest table by the river that can seat 50 people for private dinners. Pig roasts, paella parties, cocktail classes and other personalized and curated culinary experiences can be booked for up to 300 guests.

Repurposed Shipping Containers + Wildfire-Salvaged Wood = Casual Sophistication

The Napa Yard-Oxbow Garden spaces were designed by Frame Ventures and artist Michael Brennan, and exude casual sophistication in a laidback atmosphere. The property features repurposed shipping containers, originally sourced from the Yard at Mission Rock in the parking lot of Oracle Park —home of the SF Giants — which are now utilized for the kitchen, bar and storage area. Redwood and Douglas Fir salvaged from wildfires have been locally milled and incorporated throughout the property for tables and benches.

To experience the new Garden Kitchen and to explore the offerings of the Yard N’ Go Market, visit Napa Yard at 585 1st St. in downtown Napa. Reservations for the Garden Kitchen are encouraged and can be made in advance on OpenTable. For more information, visit Napayard.com.
