Serena Williams and Olympia Shine at BottleRock 2025 with Culinary Magic
Alexis Ohanian, the quintessential ‘girl dad,’ has wholeheartedly dived into fatherhood, expertly juggling roles from chef extraordinaire on pancake Sundays to supportive golf caddy. However, even a dad as devoted as Alexis can’t be everywhere at once. During the recent BottleRock Festival at Napa Valley, it was his daughter Olympia who captured the audience’s attention, while mother Serena Williams also enjoyed the limelight.
Lights, Camera, Action: Olympia’s Moment to Shine
At the 2025 BottleRock Napa Valley festival, which marked its 12th anniversary, Serena and her daughter were the stars everyone couldn’t stop watching. The event, held this Memorial Day weekend, transformed the Napa Valley Expo into a vibrant celebration of music, cuisine, and celebrity culture.
- Over 80 musical performances from May 23rd to 25th
- Expected attendance of over 120,000
- A showcase of California’s famed Wine Country
But the festival wasn’t just about music; it was also a gastronomic fiesta. The Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage was particularly electrifying, featuring engaging cooking demonstrations by stars like country singer Trisha Yearwood and others. However, the standout moment was when 7-year-old Olympia joined Serena Williams and Trisha Yearwood to prepare some delicious peach glazed chicken tacos.
A Family Affair
Serena Williams excitedly shared images and experiences from their culinary collaboration on Instagram, expressing joy over the fun and charming cooking session with Olympia, who, according to her, almost ‘stole the show’. Alexis, although not physically present, shared his joy virtually by reposting Serena’s update with a caption expressing his delight.
Connection Despite Distance
Alexis Ohanian, during this time, was attending a Kendrick Lamar concert in Los Angeles but kept up with the festival’s happenings through social media. His repost, which read ‘Having too much fun!’, highlighted his involvement and constant support despite his physical absence.
More Than Just a Performance
Serena also provided a glimpse behind the scenes with an X handle post showing a touching moment just before their onstage appearance. With a caption acknowledging how Olympia outshone her, Serena illuminated their special relationship and Olympia’s impressive presence onstage.
This narrative from BottleRock 2025 not only highlighted the Williams family’s strong bond but also demonstrated how Olympia is stepping into her own spotlight, all under the watchful and proud gaze of her parents.
