Winery Resort Highlights

  • An Organic Vineyard
    An Organic Vineyard

    Protected by the Palisades mountains and oak-covered hills, the 4.7-acre (1.9-hectare) vineyard is one of the finest properties in Napa Valley. This fully operational, organically hand-farmed vineyard celebrates the unique terroir of the Calistoga American Viticultural Area (AVA).

  • SIGNATURE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

    With the warmest microclimate in Napa Valley, the Calistoga AVA is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Our winemaker and his team of viticulture experts have designed and replanted the vineyard to intensify the flavour of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Thomas Rivers Brown

The vineyard and Elusa Winery are in partnership with Calistoga resident and world-class winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Thomas began his California winemaking career in 1997. As a minimal interventionist, he creates wines that showcase the vineyard. Renowned wine critic Robert Parker Jr. has awarded him 23 perfect 100-point scores on his Cabernet Sauvignon projects over the past decade. In 2010, Thomas was named “Winemaker of the Year” by Food & Wine magazine.
