Welcome to our unique little town. Though we’re at the top of the renowned Napa Valley, we’re just 75 miles from San Francisco. But we offer a travel experience unlike any other. Since its founding as a hot springs resort over 130 years ago, Calistoga has come to be known worldwide for its spas, its resorts, it’s mineral waters, its award-winning restaurants, its delightful shopping, and, of course, its wineries.

Spas in Calistoga each have their own unique style and combination of services, but generally the treatments consist of mud bath, mineral bath, steam, towel wrap and massage. Each can be purchased individually, but they are best enjoyed all together. Depending on the length of massage chosen, the whole process normally takes about one and a half to two hours. Reservations are necessary for weekends.

Mud baths usually consist of a thick mixture of volcanic ash and/or peat moss and Calistoga’s famed mineral water, hot out of the ground. Some spas feature a Fango-or thin-mud bath. You’re immersed in this wonderfully soothing blend for about 10 to 12 minutes. The thick mixture actually suspends you while the heat penetrates and relaxes the sinews and muscles of your body. Stress, tension, aches and pains just melt away.

Napa Valley Wineries The rich, volcanic soils and varied micro-climates of the Napa Valley have blessed us with many wonderful vineyards and wineries. At the northern end of this lush valley, Calistoga has its fair share of excellent labels. Our warm sunny days followed by cool nights often shrouded in fog, have created a remarkable region for superb wines.
