https://www.travelbrospod.com/bookwithus In this episode of the Travel Bros podcast, Joey and Jamie take a deep dive into the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley. Located in the laid-back, old-school town of Calistoga, this property sits on 22 acres and holds the crown as the only hotel in Napa Valley with its own fully operational vineyard. 

From an incredible travel hack that saves you hours of airport stress to checking out the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Calistoga, the guys break down everything you need to know before planning your luxury wine country getaway. They look at the stunning room setups, talk through incredible complimentary perks like chauffeur-driven luxury house cars and free childcare, and compare the resort directly to its ultra-luxury neighbor, the Auberge. Finally, they explain how booking through the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program with Travel Bros unlocks hundreds of dollars in daily resort credits, free breakfast, and priority upgrade.

TLDR: 
 The resort is technically located in the northern town of Calistoga, which offers a rugged, laid-back, old-school agricultural vibe completely removed from the commercialized, heavily trafficked south side of Napa.  

On-Site Vineyard: It is the only hotel property in Napa Valley that features its own operational vineyard. The hip, forward winery on-site is masterminded by Thomas Rivers Brown, widely considered a top-five New World winemaker.  

The Airport Cheat Code: Skip SFO or Oakland. Flying into Santa Rosa Airport (STS)—a charming, Snoopy-themed regional airport—puts you a flat, traffic-free 20 miles and just a 35-minute drive away from the resort.  

Michelin Dining: The resort is home to Auro, the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Calistoga. It features a 7-course tasting menu paired with an astronomical 4,400-bottle wine program.  

Free Luxury Chauffeurs: The hotel features a complimentary house fleet of electric luxury vehicles (Lucid and Polestars) that will chauffeur you to downtown Calistoga or any local winery entirely for free.  

Free Childcare: Unlike competitors that charge up to $125/hour, the Four Seasons offers its Kids Club entirely complimentary from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (with pre-booking).  

Room Features & Aesthetics: Every single guest room on the property comes equipped with its own private balcony and a fireplace. However, the website's photos are heavily brightened; first-floor rooms actually feature a very dark, cavernous residential aesthetic.  

No Expense Spared: The residential-style design includes ultra-premium plumbing fixtures from the luxury brand Waterworks, including individual shower heads valued at $4,500.  

Oprah’s Favorite English Muffins: Located just 15 to 20 minutes from the resort is the legendary Model Bakery, world-famous for its English muffins, which spent a long time featured on Oprah's "Favorite Things" list.
