Great hotel right on the main road that leads you to all the wineries. Napa can get quite expensive and this place is somewhat reasonable given its high quality.

Looking for good Calistoga B&B
My husband and I are going on a bike tour and spending 2 nights in Calistoga. Anyone know of reasonable but charming nice B&B there?
Re: Looking for good Calistoga B&B
Have been to Calistoga but not stayed. I just did a Google on Google Earth and it picked out this place - copy the entire link and put it in your browser. :

Your near Mount Helena where Robert Louis Stevenson spent his honeymoon in a miner's cabin ! I once tried to climb to the top but it was a 'mountain too far'. Just needed another hour or two.
There's a RLS museum further down Napa valley that's well worth visiting.
Re: Looking for good Calistoga B&B
We just got back from Calistoga (and Napa). We stayed at the Indian Springs Inn. It is not small, but it has a huge spring-fed swimming pool. See their web site for photo. the Inn is recently remodeled. Our room was very nice with robes for visiting the spa. You can schedule massages. It is only a few minutes walk from downtown where there are several nice restauranrts. We can recommend Boskos for italian and Sarafornia for breakfast.
Happy trails!
Re: Looking for good Calistoga B&B
We ended up staying at Indian Springs, it was wonderful and went to the breakfast place you recommended. It was also great. I would have not found this place without your suggestion.
Travel Tips for Napa
V MARKETPLACE "Vintage 1870"
Once a winery, now a shopping complex, right in the heart of Napa Valley in Yountville. The former Groezinger Estate, the 135 year old building now houses many boutique and art shops. See my V Marketplace travelogue as well as the V Marketplace website. Formerly named "Vintage 1870". Strolling the paths around vMARKETPLACE 1870, enjoying the buildings and statues that abound.
I'd highly recommend visiting...
I'd highly recommend visiting the V. Sattui Winery. It's the only winery with a deli license, which means it's a great place to taste some really enjoyable wine (FREE tasting) but also to stock on on some gourmet cheese, breads and various meats to eat with your wines or in between tastings to help keep a 'level' head. The tasting here is free (and as it turns out my favorite wines of the day).
Taste, Then Buy a Bottle of Wine
Until the late 1980s, wineries never charged for tasting. The reason was simple: tourists came to enjoy and inevitably bought wine to take home. The tour and tasting room served to teach about wine and how to drink it, and grateful consumer purchases paid for tasting room expenses. Then, as wine became more popular as an alcoholic beverage, winery hopping became an entertainment in itself for the masses, and the flood of consumers choose to shop at discount stores for their wine, rather than at the winery. The local wine enthusiast tradition is generally to taste (and spit in the cuspidor) and then buy a couple of bottles not available on the discount store shelves. Napa Valley residents know that there are many wines which are consumed entirely within the valley, or within Northern California, and that these wines simply don't make it to market in New York, Chicago, and Houston. I recommend that visitors prepare to pull out the credit card and buy the big bottles. Those are the best value purchases in the tasting room. See my shopping notes for more about buying wine locally.
WENTE
WENTE
One of California's most prominent wine brands in the '60s, Wente Brothers is now a medium-sized producer focusing on medium-priced "lifestyle" wines.
Carl Wente, the great-grandfather of Carolyn, Eric and Phil Wente -- who are at the winery's helm today -- came to California from Germany in the 1880s.
He soon met Charles Krug and learned to make wine. In 1883, he bought 49 acres of planted vineyards in Livermore and started a winery there.
He also started the Napa Sonoma Bottling Company in Richmond, which shipped wine around the country.
Two sons, Ernest and Herman stayed in winemaking. Ernest, grandfather of present president Carolyn, became interested in Chardonnay, and he obtained cuttings from Cordon Charlemagne in Burgundy and planted them in Livermore.
The business survived Prohibition by selling sacramental wines and grapes to home winemakers, and by raising cattle, hay and grain. Eventually the two brothers inherited the business.
Wente's production peaked at 800,000 cases per year in the early '80s.
On her father's death in 1977, however, the family evaluated their future. Carolyn had worked in banking, her brother Eric was a food scientist, and Phil had studied viticulture and enology. Carolyn was elected to head sales and marketing while her brothers managed growing and winemaking.
But they didn't want to become a 5-million case brand like Fetzer or Beringer
The company abandoned the low end of the market, cutting production in half to make and sell higher-end wines. he family still owns original land Carl Wente acquired, plus 600 acres in Monterey, but has selectively bought and sold property for development. It has resisted a wholesale move in that direction, however.
