Home to famed hot springs, mud baths, fabulous food and over fifty wineries, Calistoga is a wonderful place to start your wine country journey.
Howell Mountain Appellation, with its rolling hills, picturesque views and unique setting offers outstanding options to anyone willing to veer slightly off-the-beaten-path.
In 2009, Calistoga was granted a status of American Viticultural Area, or AVA. Its unique geology and wild diversity of topography, geography and climate makes it a premier growing region within Napa Valley. First vines were planted in 1862, since then dozens of new vineyards took hold; the AVA now represents some of the forefront of California wine making.
