A slice of alpine winter is returning to the San Francisco Bay Area this holiday season, as Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto prepares to reopen its Après Village outdoor dining experience from November 21, 2026, through January 4, 2027. The seasonal installation at the hotel’s Quattro terrace brings wooden chalets, a glass dome, fire pits and mountain-inspired dining to a setting far from the ski slopes.

Open daily from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m., the returning village extends beyond the terrace into an expanded festive area. Twinkling lights, decorated evergreens and outdoor gathering spaces frame the experience, which the hotel is positioning for families, friends and small groups seeking a winter-themed evening in Silicon Valley. A central glass dome and private chalets offer more secluded settings, while an outdoor food truck adds hot chocolate and marshmallow-roasting kits.

Alpine-style dining with a family-sharing menu

The Après Village set menu is priced at USD 95 per adult and USD 45 for children under 12, according to the hotel’s October announcement. It includes an individual seasonal soup, four savoury selections shared by each table, a dessert per guest and access to the village’s hot chocolate experience.

Among the savoury options are Gruyère-and-Emmental alpine cheese fondue with sourdough and potatoes, Wagyu beef sliders, seafood pie with saffron béchamel, truffle chicken pasta, charcuterie and cheese boards, and pizzas topped with margherita ingredients or artichoke and leek. Desserts include fireside s’mores, spiced apple crème brûlée, gianduja lava cake and winter fruits prepared with mulled wine.

The beverage selection complements the mountain-lodge theme with winter cocktails such as the S’mores Old Fashioned and Snowfall Martini, alongside mulled wine and optional spirits for hot chocolate. Further selections are listed on the hotel’s published menu.

Private chalets and a glass dome

Guests who prefer a private setting can reserve a wooden chalet or the glass dome for an additional USD 150 rental fee, with the prix-fixe meal charged per person. Standard private spaces accommodate up to six people, while themed chalets can host up to eight, according to the hotel’s announcement. The private experience includes a hot chocolate and marshmallow kit, outdoor holiday movie screenings, blankets and fire-pit ambience.

For those dining without a private rental, village tables provide another way to experience the winter installation. The property’s official Après Village information describes the entire experience as outdoor dining and cautions that activities may be cancelled in rainy weather. Guests considering a chalet should also prepare for cool evening temperatures.

Dates and reservations

The seasonal village is scheduled to operate from November 21, 2026, to January 4, 2027, daily between 4:30 and 9:30 p.m. The hotel recommends advance bookings, particularly for private accommodation and popular festive dates. Guests can book through OpenTable or use the reservation telephone number provided in the announcement, +1 650-470-2810.

With its return, the hotel’s holiday programme offers Bay Area residents and visitors a seasonal evening attraction built around outdoor dining, shared dishes and the atmosphere of an alpine retreat rather than a conventional restaurant seating.
