Calistoga

The small town of Calistoga is a welcoming Napa Valley community with the authentic atmosphere of a 19th Century Western frontier town. Calistoga has preserved much of its character from the early days. Its many historic buildings have led to a Distinctive Destination listing by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Calistoga’s small-town homeliness is balanced with cosmopolitan sophistication, including Michelin-starred restaurants and world-class hot spring resorts.

Nestled in the foothills of Mount Saint Helena, idyllic Calistoga is surrounded by the aesthetically pleasing wineries of Napa Valley’s countryside.

These include the rustic charm of Tamber Bey Winery, where state-of-the-art winemaking co-exists with world-class equestrian facilities that train high-performance horses.

Another highlight is Chateau Montelena, an ivy-covered stone castle overlooking a beautifully maintained Chinese Garden. Chateau Montelena has played an important role in establishing Napa Valley’s world-class winemaking credentials, with its Cabernet Sauvignon beating France’s finest in the legendary 1976 Paris Wine Tasting.

Sterling Vineyards offers some of the finest views in Napa Valley and has a cable car that brings patrons to the panoramic views seen from its perch at 300-feet above sea level.

But the crown jewel of Calistoga’s stunning wineries is undoubtedly Castello di Amorosa, an authentic 13th Century Italian Tuscan castle with an adjacent vineyard. This exquisite medieval castle spans eight levels and 107 rooms, covering 136,000 square feet. It took seven years to complete the construction of what is undoubtedly one of the world’s most attractive wineries.

The homes hidden among Calistoga’s secluded hillsides elegantly balance simplicity with opulence. From the rustic charm of historic craftsman estate houses to the clean lines of stunning custom-built contemporary dream homes, Calistoga homes are the perfect place to relax and recharge.

Large windows and outdoor terraces provide captivating views over the stunning vineyard-covered Napa Valley countryside. Some homes for sale in Calistoga, CA, offer outdoor pools and guest houses, as well as planted vineyards for those seeking to fully immerse themselves in Napa Valley viticulture.

Along with its striking wineries, Calistoga real estate is renowned for its hot springs and spas. Opportunities for relaxing saunas, spas, and distinctively Californian mud baths abound throughout Calistoga, with resorts ranging from the casual to the refined. Calistoga Ranch is perhaps the town’s finest resort, with world-class facilities on a 157-acre site situated within a private canyon. This remarkably tranquil resort is surrounded by ancient oak trees and centered around a lake. Service at Calistoga Ranch is outstanding even by luxury resort standards. In 2017, Travel and Leisure ranked it among the top five resorts in the world.

Solage Castilago is another outstanding resort, with exquisite spa facilities and a stunning setting flanked by the surrounding mountain ranges. Solage is the site of Michelin-starred Solbar, one of the finest and most innovative restaurants in the entire region.
