The experience of sleeping in a working winery in Napa Valley
Surrounded by the landscape of hundreds of acres of vineyards and majestic mountains, the new Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley concentrates the essence of one of the most coveted locations in the city of Calistoga (California). Nestled between picturesque forests and the Palisades Mountains at the top of the napa valley , the future opening of the summer supposes a refuge to relax in nature.
the land where Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley was founded used to belong to a small family winery in 2010. A place that historically offered a cozy accommodation with a bed and breakfast regime. It was at that time that Bald Mountain Development defined the traits of a team of experts to conceive a five star resort.
"The renowned local winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown , was immediately hired to lead the winemaking process for the resort's on-site winery, and the first bottling was completed in 2012. Soon after, celebrity experts including Jonathan Hill , devised the plans and interior design of the complex from the famous Hill Glazier Architecture, who came out of retirement to develop the architectural design", they tell from Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley in a interview via email to Traveler.es.
After searching hard, in fact, for more than 20 years, a Wine estate in the Northern California region , eventually found a site that would allow them to obtain a warehouse permit, on-site residential unit capacity, a considerably large acreage for guests, built-in spa , space for an event barn in the middle of the vineyard, and convenient access to a variety of tasting experiences at the Napa and Sonoma Valley.
So, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley combines the immersive winemaking experiences with Calistoga's own nature, while also being the first and only resort in* Napa Valley* located within a working winery, with a 7.4-acre vineyard managed by the winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown , who is in charge of orchestrating the wine experiences for the guests.

For her part, "the designer from St. Helena, Erin Martin, was the curator of the interior design of the winery , residences and rooms; and Marin County EDG, came up with the design for the resort's restaurants.
To enjoy an idyllic vacation, the resort offers services and amenities, including the Four Seasons Kids For All Seasons program, designed to create educational experiences in an informal and fun environment; two outdoor pools located in the middle of the vineyards and the Campo Poolside restaurant.
Having received two Michelin stars for his work at the COI restaurant in San Francisco, the chef Erik Anderson will be in charge of TRUSS restaurant and bar , providing guests with a menu that showcases the best products of the region. “Calistoga is the best place in the country to cook,” says Anderson.
