Auro sits inside the Four Seasons Napa Valley in Calistoga, where Executive Chef Evan Neumann leads a kitchen built on hyper-seasonal Napa Valley ingredients. His path runs through Joël Robuchon at the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, Anne-Sophie Pic's La Dame de Pic, Daniel Boulud's Restaurant Daniel, and Essential by Christophe Bellanca. The tasting menu runs seven courses of contemporary American cuisine, refined through French technique and touched by Mexican and Japanese traditions.
Guests dine either in the main room, looking out over vineyards and mountains, or at the Chef's Table set inside the kitchen itself. Resort Beverage Manager Derek Stevenson runs the wine program, a 750-label list drawing on Napa icons and rarer finds that has earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence since 2023.
Auro opened in October 2022 and earned its first Michelin star within eight months. Michelin has kept that star in place for four consecutive years, through the 2026 guide. Neumann was named a 2024 James Beard Foundation Best Chef: California finalist.
