Four Seasons Napa Valley Curates Summer's Most Coveted Wine Country Experiences

Summer in Napa Valley casts its own spell, and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley curates the greatest hits, from McLaren drives through mountain-top vineyards to sunrise balloon flights above rolling vines, Michelin-starred tastings, and intimate evenings with world-class artists. The magic lies in the details: rare vintages savoured in private meadows overlooking Lake Hennessey, behind-the-scenes access to the valley's most sought-after addresses, and Chef Rogelio Garcia's James Beard-recognized craft translating terroir into unforgettable moments.

"The best part about summer here? Everything's at its peak—the weather, the grapes, the energy," says Robby Delaney, General Manager. "My team obsesses over the details—when to catch sunrise, which vintage to pull, how to make everything click. Great wine, great food, great moments. It's what we do best."

Signature Experiences

• Napa Valley Dream Drive - Guests can select their fantasy vehicle—Ferrari, McLaren, or Lamborghini—for a 50-mile rally through wine country's most breathtaking backroads. The experience includes chauffeured start and celebratory finish.
• Pritchard Hill Experience at Chappellet - An exclusive Four Seasons partnership brings guests to one of Napa's most coveted addresses for barrel tastings, winery tours, and guided wine flights in a private scenic meadow with Lake Hennessey views.
• Soar Above the Valley - Hot air balloon flights offer guests the chance to greet dawn floating above endless vineyards with sweeping mountain views across wine country.

Culinary Excellence

• Michelin-Starred Innovation at Auro - Chef Rogelio Garcia's intimate Chef's Table offers front-row seats to culinary artistry. Monthly wine pairing dinners showcase his inventive, terroir-driven approach that earned James Beard recognition.
• NIWA x Laurent-Perrier Pop-Up Experience - This summer's surprise: seasonal Nikkei cuisine paired with Champagne Laurent-Perrier at NIWA (the Japanese word for garden). Japanese techniques meet bold Peruvian flavours, with live music on select evenings.
• TRUSS Restaurant + Bar - Home to what locals call "the best burger in the valley," this vibrant brasserie has become Calistoga's favourite gathering spot. Fresh Pacific seafood such as Ora King salmon and Alaskan halibut share the menu with handcrafted pastas and the impressive 32 ounce rib-eye for two. The lower deck buzzes with craft cocktails, while the Wine Spectator Award-winning list and sweeping mountain views complete every meal.
• Campo Poolside - Fresh California flavours meet creative mixology at the reimagined poolside restaurant. The menu features crispy calamari and house-made guacamole as starters, followed by the catch of the day or Chef Shaun Acosta’s signature burger. Campo Bar serves inventive cocktails such as the Shiso Calistoga with yuzu or tropical Paper Plane, complemented by zero-proof options and Laurent-Perrier Champagne.
• On-Site Winery - Behind-the-scenes barrel room tours, limited-production tastings, and Library Flights in the garden provide a true vine-to-glass experience at the on-site Elusa Winery.
