Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley has expanded its wine programme for the 2026 harvest season with experiences both on property and across Calistoga. The new options connect the resort’s own vineyard and Elusa Winery with ADAMVS, Davis Estates and Chateau Montelena.
The collection ranges from private winery visits to hands-on blending, vineyard walks and chocolate-and-wine pairings. It gives guests several ways to engage with wine depending on how technical or relaxed they want the experience to be.
Elusa keeps wine close to the room
Elusa is located only steps from the guest accommodation and works with fruit from the resort’s 4.7-acre organic Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Guided walks can lead directly from the vines into production areas and tasting spaces.
That continuity helps guests understand how vineyard decisions connect with what eventually appears in the glass. It also makes a serious wine experience possible without a transfer.
Private visits extend across Calistoga
The programme adds access to ADAMVS, Davis Estates and Chateau Montelena for guests who want to compare different producers and settings. Each visit broadens the story beyond the resort’s own estate.
Private access can make a Napa itinerary feel less rushed than moving through a string of public tasting rooms. It allows more time for questions, conversation and a clearer sense of individual winery character.
Hands-on experiences add context
Blending activities and vineyard walks move guests from passive tasting toward participation. Chocolate-and-wine pairings offer a lighter entry point for those more interested in flavour than production detail.
This range is useful for mixed groups because expertise is not required to enjoy the programme. Enthusiasts can go deeper while casual visitors still have something engaging to do.
Harvest gives the programme energy
The experiences were introduced for the 2026 harvest season, when vineyards and cellars are at their most active. That timing lets visitors see Napa as a working agricultural region rather than only as a luxury destination.
For travellers planning a California itinerary, harvest remains one of the most rewarding periods to visit. Four Seasons is using its on-site winery to make that seasonal activity unusually accessible.
