The Golden State Warriors ace made a big impression at BottleRock Napa Valley 2025, combining his love for fantastic music, quality bourbon, and good friends. From pouring his own Gentleman's Cut Bourbon to singing along with rising star Benson Boone, Curry displayed a side of himself that's as colorful and engaging as his play on the court. Here's a look at how he spent his Memorial Day weekend in California's wine country. How Stephen Curry stole the show at BottleRock with bourbon, music, and star power Even though Stephen Curry's offseason doesn't involve NBA games, it's still brimming with activity. The four-time NBA champion was spotted at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival, where fans of music, food, and wine unite to celebrate Memorial Day weekend. Curry wasn't merely a bystander — he took an active role in promoting his Gentleman's Cut Bourbon, sharing his enthusiasm for the beverage in a stylish lounge environment. The night wasn't only about bourbon, though. Curry was captured on video singing to Benson Boone's viral song "Beautiful Things," and that clip quickly blew up on TikTok.

Where is BottleRock held? The festival takes place at the Napa Valley Expo, a 26-acre venue near downtown Napa. While the site typically hosts dog shows, craft fairs and local events, it undergoes a major transformation for BottleRock. Organizers Latitude 38 Entertainment and Live Nation have significantly upgraded the space over the years — replacing dusty fields with manicured lawns, shade trees, walkways and sleek infrastructure. By Memorial Day weekend, the grounds will feature multiple stages, boutique wineries, relaxation zones, elevated VIP viewing decks and immersive brand activations, all delivering a signature Wine Country vibe. Getting to BottleRock 2025 A variety of transportation options are available for visitors to reach the event grounds in downtown Napa: Ride hailing: A designated pickup and drop-off area is located at Third and Randolph streets, near the festival's main entrance. Bus: Daily round-trip BottleRock Buses run from cities across the Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland. Locally, Vine Transit offers free and extended service throughout the weekend. Car: Carpooling is encouraged.

Hotel and transportation packages: BottleRock's website offers travel bundles with hotel rooms and round-trip festival shuttles from cities like San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and Santa Rosa. What's the vibe at BottleRock? BottleRock delivers a uniquely polished, Wine Country-style experience with a laid-back and mature crowd. You're more likely to see guests lounging in private cabanas or sipping vintage Cabernets than crowd-surfing. While rock music remains central, the festival's lineup now spans multiple genres — from indie pop to hip-hop to electronic — creating a rich and varied sonic landscape. The event is also known for its clean facilities, attentive staff and curated experiences that appeal to both music lovers and culinary connoisseurs. 'It's a constant flow of new ideas,' Graham said. 'People ask us, 'Do you have fun at the festival?' We want the fans to have fun. We want the guests to be happy.' Dragoo concurred: 'You see the smiles on peoples faces and know they can't wait to come back each year.' What to eat and drink at BottleRock 2025 Beyond the music, BottleRock offers one of the best food and beverage selections of any U.S. festival. The Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage, hosted by Bay Area personality Liam Mayclem, features live cooking demos by culinary heavyweights like TV food competition master Bobby Flay, 'Top Chef' host Kristen Kish, tennis legend Serena Williams and actor-singer Kate Hudson are among the stars set to appear on the culinary stage this year. They'll share the stage with musicians like Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, R&B singer Bobby Brown, and rappers Chuck D, Flavor Flav and E-40. While the food cooked onstage isn't served to the crowd, festivalgoers can enjoy offerings from top-tier local chefs and over a dozen Napa Valley wineries. Platinum guests get access to rare wines curated by master sommeliers, along with premium spirits and craft beer options. 'It would be hard to name a prominent restaurant in the Napa area that is not part of our festival," Dragoo said. "We're truly fortunate." Pro tip: Walk through both main food areas before choosing your meal — it's worth the exploration. What happens after the festival? The music doesn't end when the lights go down. The festival's AfterDark concerts are scheduled to run May 22-27 at various venues across the Bay Area. Artists like E-40, Chvrches' singer Lauren Mayberry; Sharon Van Etten; Sasami; and the Coverups, featuring Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, are set to headline these late-night performances, many of whom will also perform during the daytime at the Napa Valley Expo during the festival.
