Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley Raises A Toast to the Season

As the autumn harvest yields to winter, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley brings a season of celebration into full bloom. The Resort sits in Calistoga, the birthplace of Napa Valley winemaking, where sun-kissed vineyards meet the rugged splendour of the Palisades Mountains. Napa Valley's only resort with a working winery on-site, Four Seasons Napa Valley invites guests to gather for a season of connection, craft, and the spirit of the holidays.

From Michelin-starred evenings at Auro to fireside gatherings at TRUSS Restaurant + Bar, the season traces the journey from vine to glass to table. Guests savour menus paired with Elusa Winery selections, settle into cozy winter chalets, and toast the new year in Calistoga.

"The holidays in Napa Valley are about time together: family, food, and the joy of simply being present in a beautiful place," says Robby Delaney, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley. "The spirit of wine country has always been about enjoying life's sweetest moments with the people we love. We look forward to welcoming guests for a season of joy, celebration, and togetherness in a place made for all three."

"Every course at Auro tells a story of place. The soil that sustains us, the seasons that guide our craft, and the people who gather to share it. During the holidays, that story becomes even more meaningful," said Rogelio Garcia, Executive Chef of Auro.

This year, the Resort raises A Toast to the Season, a celebration rooted in wine country and shared at the table.
