Calistoga is our favorite wine town for lodging and dining. Our first trip to Calistoga was in 1967. Seriously, Calistoga has not changed much since that first excursion. There are a few things new, but many of the same businesses are still operating. One example is the mud baths and the hot springs. Dr. Wilkinson’s Hot Springs Resort is still going strong since 1952. The Calistoga Inn has been a fixture in Calistoga since 1887. The pace in Calistoga is less hectic. You will find a more laid back approach to the wine scene than in the other Napa Valley towns. There are many things to do in Calistoga, and here we list some great activities.
