10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Calistoga That You Shouldn't Miss
Here’s your day in Calistoga: Yoga. Massage. Spa lunch. Hike. Wine-tasting. Facial. Mud bath. Gourmet dinner (with more wine). Dip in a mineral pool. Does it get more relaxing than a spa town built around natural springs in the middle of wine country? We don't think so.

Reviewed By Sasi_Perreault - Mountain View, United States
This is our favorite winery of all time after going to so many different ones over the years. We normally went to a few each time we came to Sonoma/Napa area, but over the last three times, we just came straight to Vincent Arroyo and ONLY here. Other than the most obvious reason why we keep coming back (BEST petite sirah in the WORLD), this winery has the most happy, genuine, friendly, and generous staff. I think we were with Jeffrey twice and he was brilliant. This last time we were with David, and he was absolutely pure joy and amazing!! He was so generous with his time and explanation (and the generous pour!!). We had the most wonderful & pleasant conversation with him about wine and wine making for a very long time. We were very grateful for the time and knowledge (and fun stories) he shared. We highly recommend this place. Forget about all other ‘more famous’ wineries and just come straight here!! :-)

My husband and I went in for the "tip to toe " treatment and had a wonderful experience. We started with a soak in the mineral pool and jaccuzi. Then drank tea in the nice relaxation area. I had Joy as my massage therapist and she was terrific! The treatment was unique and very enjoyable. After our treatment we used the Himalayan salt sauna. The changing room was secure and had everything you would need. Overall great experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Davis has become a regular winery of ours to visit when we are heading up to Napa for a day. The story of the winery and how it was created is amazing, the staff are incredible, and the wine and food pairings are even better. The location was hit hard as a result of the fires this year (2020), but the main building was thankfully unscathed and remains in tact. And even with COVID, the outdoor dining area allows you to enjoy a socially distances tasting while enjoying the beautiful views. With so many wineries to choose from in Northern California, it can be hard to tell which ones are worth spending your money on, well this is one of them. It is not one of those overly commercialized wineries with staunch and snooty people, these are very down to earth person people, with incredible wine. And if you can get a tasting with a tour, DO IT!

Stunning winery well known for excellent hospitality and wines. We were greeted warmly, and given a choice where to sit in their outdoor vineyard area . Diana, our wine host, was fun, excellent, knowledgeable and very personable. The weather was FANTASTIC: 70 degrees and sunny on Feb. 5!!! Jacob, the estate manager also came out and greeted us personally. They have a nice charcuterie plate available too. We will return again! In case you didn't know, the Calistoga "Winter in the Wineries" Passport program has been extended to April, due to the Gov's recent shut down, which is now lifted.

From its imposing facade to the Jade Lake to the history and excellence of its wines, this place offers every visitor something to remember. The staff are attentive and passionate about their craft and it just adds to the mystique. Worth the drive from San Francisco and definitely if you are in the Napa valley.

The driveway going up to schramsberg was my favorite memory of this place to be honest. It was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever experienced. The tour itself was very informative, but Brittany was amazing at throwing some humor in there too so it wasn't boring by any means. She really knew her stuff!! Once we learned all about the bubbles, we went into a tasting room to try a bunch of them. Brittany even showed us how to open a bottle of champagne without it going everywhere! It was a great experience altogether.

It was an amazing effort to build a 100% authentic (style) Italian castle in the Napa Valley, and the castello looks amazing. We were expecting the wine to be mediocre, but it was extremely good as well -- we ended up ordering a case, and impressed some friends with the first bottle of pinot gris last week :)

Very nice experience especially for those who love horses. The wine is really good as well. We joined their wine club which for us is the ultimate stamp of approval.
