Join the essence of delightful senses, beguiling, and luxurious wine country living at the Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Napa Valley.

I s there any place on earth so poetic and beguiling as Napa Valley? Is there anywhere that so intoxicate­s and delights the senses? Now, at the peaceful northern reaches of the valley is a long-awaited opportunit­y not only to celebrate, but also to be a part of the understate­d and authentic heritage that is the essence of this land. Set at the northern end of the famed Silverado Trail, Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Napa Valley elevates wine country living to a luxurious new level. Rural, rustic and refined, the residences look out to protected views of the Resort’s own vineyards. There is a wine program led by the renowned Thomas Rivers Brown. Cuisine, spa, fitness and private amenities are all perfectly paired with the impeccable and deeply instilled ethic of personal service that is the hallmark of Four Seasons. And all this is reserved for just 20 families.

Unique in all of the Valley, right at home in Calistoga.

No other five-star wine country resort integrates grape-to-glass like Four Seasons Private Residences Napa Valley. The Resort revolves around its vineyard – overseen by one of the world’s most noteworthy vintners – Thomas Rivers Brown brings a unique, award-winning style. His approach to crafting the perfect blend … letting the wines showcase the vineyard, not the vintner. His non-interventi­onist style has paid off: In 2008, he became the youngest winemaker to receive a perfect 100-point score from The Wine Advocate’s Robert Parker Jr.– one of the world’s top wine critics.– and he quickly followed the honor with another perfect score that same year. In 2010, he was named Winemaker of the Year by Food & Wine Magazine.

Experience True California Luxury

Designed by architect John C. Hill of HKS Hospitalit­y Group, each of the 20 farmhouse-style villas features board and batten siding, stone detailing, and pitched metal roofs. Inside, agrarian elegance meets modern splendor: sumptuous dining and entertaini­ng spaces, five-fixture bathrooms, and sophistica­ted touches by Erin Martin Design

As Comfortabl­e as it is luxurious: The Napa Valley lifestyle

Relax at one of two pools—including one reserved just for adults— or visit the Spa for a treatment using a healing mineral-rich blend of clay and volcanic ash, or soak in waters from Calistoga’s renowned hot springs. The Fitness Center features the latest cardio and weight equipment, while nature lovers can hit the road for a bike ride along country lanes and the Vine Trail, connecting the region’s most celebrated towns. Even the youngest residents will find plenty to keep them entertaine­d: The Kids for All Seasons program offers the chance to explore grape growing, blend their own Kid’s Kab, or tend heirloom tomatoes with chefs in the organic garden. The dining venues throughout the Resort are as inspiring as their vineyard and mountain-view settings. These are inviting culinary experience­s to be savored and shared, and creativity is certainly the order of the day.
