Calistoga

An unhurried day, in someone’s own account.

Food & wineHospitality

Dedicated town story

A Calistoga interviewee brings shops, restaurants, wine and mineral-water soaking into the same down-to-earth day. Storefronts, the Hydro Grill, valley views and a tree-framed pool give that account its setting. The pleasure lies in being able to move between them without turning the visit into a rush.

Make time for the water
