Four Seasons Napa Valley
A Brand New Beauty
What it is
Opening late summer 2021: an oenophile’s mecca, with farmhouse-inspired guest rooms overlooking vineyards, an on-property winery and a pampering spa.
What it isn't
All hat and no cattle. Here, you can delve deep into the winemaking process in the on-site winery, with tasting tours held by Thomas Rivers and his team that explore wines made from grapes grown on that exact patch of land.
What we think
Opening late summer 2021, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley has the entire wine world buzzing. Why? For starters, guest rooms are as stylish as the cover of Elle Decor, with a palette of earthy materials that echo the Palisades Mountain landscape beyond the floor to ceiling windows. Vineyard Rooms feature a fireplace and private terrace that are—no surprise—scenic ideals for sipping whichever bottle in your wine fridge has you salivating in that particular moment. Feeling as ebullient as champagne? Book the Estate Villa for a private garden complete with your very own swimming pool. We love that the 23-meter heated al fresco main pool is just for adults, overlooks the vineyards and is flanked by daybeds where Four Seasons attendants will happily bring you a fresh towel or glass of whatever wine your heart desires.
You're here because
You need to Chillax with a capital C, and the spa has “seed to skin” treatments that will leave you glowing (plus, baths using mud chockablock with minerals from the vineyard).
The Moment
Sure, you came for the wine, but at TRUSS restaurant, you’re staying for the cocktails. As you sip (and sip) on the terrace, you watch the sun settle over the leafy mountains behind the pool...and say “cheers” to it. Another perfect day.

Location
Tucked in the rolling hills of Napa Valley, an hour and a half drive from San Francisco. Just a few minutes drive up the road: the campy Old Faithful Geyser of California, where bocce courts and a geology museum await.
