The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Napa Valley

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at TRUSS

Served daily from 7:00 to 11:00 am at TRUSS Restaurant + Bar, the all-day restaurant, whose terrace faces the estate vineyard and the Palisades Mountains. The resort sells the same breakfast in its Napa Valley Getaway package.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay for dining or Spa Talisa. It covers a long lunch at Campo by the pools, or goes towards a massage at Spa Talisa with the Calistoga Mud Experience added.

03

Upgrade priority

All guest rooms measure 45 to 50 sq m (480 to 530 sq ft), so the upgrade is about the view: from a Resort Room towards a Vineyard Room or an upper-floor Vineyard and Palisades Mountain Room.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. Check-in is not until 4:00 pm, so an early room helps if you drive up in the morning, and a late checkout leaves time for a last tasting.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We pass on celebrations, dietary needs and the wineries you want to visit, so appointments are booked early.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

The benefits apply on top of Stay Longer, which gives a free third night with every two consecutive paid nights. The resort's Experience More credit package cannot be combined with other offers.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Napa Valley

The rooms sit in low farmhouse-style buildings among the vines, designed by Erin Martin and HBA. Every room and suite has a fireplace, a deep soaking tub, a wine fridge and a terrace or balcony, so the choice comes down to floor and view.

Best value view

Vineyard Room

45 to 50 sq m (480 to 530 sq ft) on the first or second floor, looking straight onto the estate vineyard, the barn and the pools.

The room to book

Vineyard and Palisades Mountain Room

The same size, but on the upper floors with a furnished balcony looking over the neighbouring Kenefick Ranch vineyard to the Palisades Mountains. The most private of the guest rooms.

More space

Vineyard and Palisades Mountain One-Bedroom Suite

89 sq m (960 sq ft) with a separate living room and fireplace. Upper-level suites have vaulted ceilings, and a guest room can be added to make a two-bedroom suite.

Families and groups

Residential Villas

Two- to four-bedroom homes of 214 to 321 sq m (2,300 to 3,450 sq ft), with full kitchens, washer-dryers and terraces. Some have a saltwater plunge pool, a hot tub or a bocce court.

Children 18 and under stay free in their parents' room. Up to two dogs, weighing 31.7 kg (70 lb) in total, are welcome per room.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Napa Valley

01

Book winery visits and Auro weeks ahead

The resort recommends booking restaurants, wineries and cars three to four weeks before arrival. Auro opens only Wednesday to Saturday, and a room booking does not hold a table.

02

Ask for an upper floor

Resort and Vineyard Rooms are on the first and second floors, and guests have found some ground-floor terraces overlooked by passing paths. We ask for an upper floor, which is more private and may come with a vaulted ceiling.

03

Use the house car and the bikes

A free house car runs guests to Davis Estates and Chateau Montelena, each under 10 minutes away. Bicycles are free, and the resort lends a Lucid Air electric car for self-drive wine days.

04

Look for the street number, not the name

The entrance is marked only with a small 400 Silverado Trail sign, and it is easy to drive past at night. Put the address, not the hotel name, into your map.

05

Plan spa time before the evening

Spa Talisa closes at 5:00 pm Sunday to Thursday and 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday. Book treatments for the morning or early afternoon, and arrive early for the outdoor saunas and whirlpool.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Napa Valley

Two restaurants, a poolside café and a working winery sit within a short walk of each other.

Michelin-starred tasting menu

Auro

Calistoga's only Michelin-starred restaurant, led since April 2026 by Executive Chef Evan Neumann, with a seven-course menu and a 750-label wine list. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 5:00 to 9:00 pm.

All day

TRUSS Restaurant + Bar

The American-Mediterranean brasserie, with wood-fired pizzas, burgers and a vineyard terrace. Breakfast 7:00 to 11:00 am, lunch until 5:00 pm, dinner 5:00 to 9:30 pm, and Golden Hour from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.

Lunch by the pools

Campo Poolside

Open-air tables between the two pools, serving ceviche, poke bowls and burgers. Open daily from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, weather permitting.

On-site tasting room

Elusa Winery

Wines from the estate and the Calistoga AVA, made by consulting winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Book a vineyard walk with tasting, a chocolate pairing, or Blend Like a Winemaker for six or more.

On Property

Pools, spa and wine country at Four Seasons Napa Valley

Most of the resort faces the vineyard, so the pools, spa garden and fitness centre all look onto the vines and the mountains beyond.

01

Two heated pools

A 23-metre adults-only lap pool for guests 16 and over, and a family pool with shallow areas, both open 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. Fifteen cabanas and daybeds can be reserved.

02

Spa Talisa

Eight treatment rooms, two of them couples' suites. The garden has a vineyard-view whirlpool, barrel saunas, cold plunges and misting decks, and local volcanic mud features in treatments.

03

Wine visits beyond the estate

For harvest 2026 the resort added private guest visits at ADAMVS on Howell Mountain, Davis Estates' caves and Chateau Montelena, 50 years after its Chardonnay won the Judgment of Paris.

04

Free resort activities

A weekly wine hour on the Cabernet Terrace at 4:30 pm, weekend yoga and sculpt classes, a Saturday cocktail class at TRUSS, bocce, ping pong and a Kids Activity Room.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Napa Valley

Napa Valley is a year-round destination, but rates follow the harvest, and Calistoga is the warmest part of the valley.

Late August to October
Harvest. White grapes are picked from late August and reds through October, sometimes into early November. The busiest, most expensive weeks.
November to March
The quietest months, with rates from about $800 a night in late November and early December 2026. TRUSS sets up Winter Chalets on its terrace for the holidays, and the resort hosts a New Year's Eve party.
April to July
Green vines, long evenings and the pools at their best. Calistoga has the warmest microclimate in the valley, so summer afternoons can be hot.

From San Francisco, Oakland or Sacramento
Each is about 125 to 140 km (77 to 87 miles) away, about 1 hour 30 minutes by car without traffic. The resort books limousine transfers with a meet-and-greet on arrival.
Good to Know

Four Seasons Napa Valley FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley?

The best way to book Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Napa Valley in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at TRUSS Restaurant + Bar, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. The benefits combine with the resort's own offers, such as Stay Longer.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Napa Valley?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor adds breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Napa Valley, and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) adds the same for stays from 1 January 2027. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Virtuoso advisors can book Four Seasons Napa Valley with the same core benefits, but Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own in-house program, and its bookings get higher priority for upgrades and recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme.

Is Four Seasons Napa Valley in the town of Napa?

No. It is in Calistoga, at the quiet northern end of the valley, about 40 minutes' drive from downtown Napa and about an hour and a half from San Francisco. Santa Rosa airport is closer than any Bay Area airport, about 35 minutes away.

Does Four Seasons Napa Valley have its own winery?

Yes. Elusa Winery sits on the estate beside a 4.7-acre organic Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard, and the resort calls itself the region's only resort built around a working winery. Wines are made with Thomas Rivers Brown, and guests can tour the vines, taste or blend their own bottle.

Which room should I book at Four Seasons Napa Valley?

A Vineyard and Palisades Mountain Room: the same 45 to 50 sq m (480 to 530 sq ft) as other rooms, but on an upper floor with a balcony facing the vines and mountains. Couples wanting more space take the matching one-bedroom suite; families often take a villa.

Is Four Seasons Napa Valley good for children?

Yes, with limits. The family pool has shallow areas, there is a Kids Activity Room and an activity lawn, and children's menus are served at TRUSS and Campo. The lap pool is for guests 16 and over, and children 18 and under stay free in their parents' room.

Does it cost more to book Four Seasons Napa Valley through Four Seasons Preferred Partner?

No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.

Can Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits be added to a Four Seasons Napa Valley booking I have already made?

Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
