Napa Valley’s first resort set within a working winery, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley is now accepting reservations. Situated in the historic town of Calistoga, the resort is tucked into the base of Mount Saint Helena at the top of Napa Valley and surrounded by vineyards. Each of its 85 spacious rooms, suites and villas offer great views and have fireplaces and private terraces.
Designed by Napa-based Erin Martin and Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), the property includes The Estate Villa, a nearly 3,400-square-foot free-standing building nestled at the edge of the vineyard, which includes indoor-outdoor living and dining, a private garden and a swimming pool. The property also has two outdoor swimming pools set among the vineyard, a fully supervised "Kids for All Seasons" program, a regulation bocce ball court and modern fitness facilities complete with vineyard views, Technogym equipment and programming.
Led by Michelin-starred executive chef Erik Anderson, TRUSS Restaurant + Bar offers a modern fine-dining experience with a farm-fresh à la carte menu, laidback indoor-outdoor environment, and views of the Calistoga vineyards and Palisades Mountains. The cuisine at TRUSS is rooted in French techniques and showcases roasting and traditional cooking methods. Highlights include a collaboration with Sausalito-based California Caviar Co., in which Chef Anderson harvests, cleans, salts and packages California white sturgeon, and gourmet quail from his friend and farmer Brent Wolfe of Wolfe Ranch. Also on offer is a curated 250-label wine list, which focuses on the Calistoga region.
Shaun Acosta, executive resort chef, will oversee the open-air Campo Poolside. Located between the resort’s two pools overlooking the vineyards, the restaurant will serve Cal-Mexican fare and poolside favorites that change with the seasons. Acosta will also manage all of the resort’s on-site events and culinary experiences as well as in-room dining, food pairings at Elusa Winery’s Tasting Room, and more.
Elusa Winery and its five-acre vineyard are protected by the Palisades Mountains. The hand-farmed vineyard celebrates the terroir of the Calistoga American Viticultural Area (AVA), home to some of the oldest estates in wine country. The vineyard and winery are operated by local winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Tip: Calistoga is ideal for cabernet sauvignon grapes. Brown and his team of viticulture experts designed and replanted the on-site vineyard to accentuate the flavor of those grapes.
Spa Talisa has eight treatment rooms, and a range of al fresco experiences, including private patios with steam decks used for the locally inspired steam experience—a Calistoga ritual. The menu of treatments and services at Spa Talisa includes product collections by local skincare brand LIV + GRACE SKINCARE, and the nontoxic molecular skincare system Seed to Skin, founded in Tuscany, Italy.
Guests can partake in itineraries curated by the resort’s guest relations team, which may include a trip to the Safari West for families with young, animal-loving kids; guided bike tours through country roads and hidden valleys; or an oenophiles’ excursion through the region’s under-the-radar wine-tasting experiences; plus gallery hopping, boutique shopping, scenic drives and off-the-beaten path diversions.
Among the several event venue options at Four Seasons Resort Napa Valley, highlights include the Vineyard Barn, a rustic-chic space with high ceilings and large barn doors, filled with natural light and adjacent to a lawn with views of the vineyard; and the Calistoga Ballroom and adjacent Lakeside Lawn that overlooks the garden, lake and Mayacamas Mountains in the distance.
