Following the success of the inaugural Four Seasons Drive Experience through Tuscany, the luxury hotel company has introduced two new itineraries the ‘Heart of the Alps’ in June and ‘Napa Valley’ in the Fall will deliver driving experiences that showcase the best of these new itinerary destinations. When not on the road, guests in the Alps will stay at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva and Four Seasons Hotel Megève. While in Napa Valley, travellers will stay at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley.

“Four Seasons Drive Experience is a natural extension of who we are and what we deliver – creating curated experiences that allow guests to discover the character of a locale in new and unexpected ways,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “From behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle, guests will enjoy an exceptional drive experience, always with Four Seasons service and genuine heart as their guide.”

From the accommodations and trip itinerary to the exclusive excursions and tailored local experiences, all will be delivered with the “attention to detail, exceptional quality, and caring service” for which the hotel brand is known, promises Four Seasons.

Heart of the Alps, June 12-18, 2023

The week-long itinerary will begin at Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva, which will serve as home base for the next few days, with views of Lake Geneva and a backdrop of snow-capped Alps. While in Geneva, guests will visit Gruyère Village – regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in the region and home to the well-known Swiss cheese. Thereafter, they will embark on a panoramic tour across UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux, Vineyard Terraces – a 30-km stretch of land with striking hillside terraces – before being escorted through historical wine estates dating back to the Middle Ages for a Swiss wine and cheese pairing.

In the days that follow, travellers will journey towards the final destination of Megève, stopping along the way to learn about the timeless art of watchmaking – from design and prototype development to machining. The afternoon will include an adrenaline-fuelled drive passing through Chateau d’Avully, known for soaring towers and iconic architecture before arriving at Four Seasons Hotel Megève to rest and recharge.

Programming in Megève includes a trip to the Alpine town of Annecy winding through the mythic Aravis roads and crossing sky-piercing mountains; a visit to Mont Blanc Massif – a mountain range featuring arresting 360-degree views of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps; and taking on the remote Grand Saint Bernard Mountain pass that connects Italy and Switzerland to conclude their journey back to Megève.

Napa Valley, Oct. 29-Nov. 4, 2023

This itinerary for food and wine enthusiasts is centred around the best wineries and culinary experiences that promise to invigorate palates and tantalize tastebuds. In one of the food and wine capitals of North America, guests will arrive at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley, home for the next seven days.

The journey will begin with a celebration of innovative gastronomy – a welcome dinner at the property’s Vineyard Barn featuring an architectural design that embodies Napa’s rich farming heritage, framed by picturesque forests and unobstructed views of the mountains. The next day will start with a scenic drive to Tomales Bay for an immersive oyster farming experience followed by a gourmet lunch overlooking the bay. In the evening, guests will enjoy a sumptuous dinner for the senses, complimented by the region’s specialty wines.

The following days will be dedicated to discovering unique flavours and being immersed in fragrant wine notes touring Napa’s most talked about wineries, only accessible to Four Seasons Drive Experience guests, including Opus One Winery, born from the collaboration between two of the most esteemed winemaking figures: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi.

For the final days of the itinerary, guests will take a private ferry tour around San Francisco Bay and end the seven-day experience in the clouds with hot-air balloon rides that offer panoramic views of the vineyards and undulating mountains.
