Calistoga

Calistoga is at the north end of the Napa Valley in the Bay Area (California) | Bay Area region of California. Calistoga was founded as a thermal spas (Muslim Friendly) resort in the 1860s by Sam Brannan, California's first millionaire and has long been a destination for its natural thermal spas (Muslim Friendly) and mineral water and their supposed health benefits. Its position at the north end of the Napa Valley also makes it a gateway to Sonoma County country. Calistoga is a visitor's destination that celebrates being different - franchise fast food is against the law (really!) and healthy hedonists are celebrated. Go tasting, have a fabulous dinner and then take a bike ride and have a mud bath before you leave.

Calistoga Halal Travel Guide

At least since the 1700s, Calistoga's distinguishing characteristic has been its thermal spas (Muslim Friendly), used initially by the native Wappo for medicinal purposes.After the time of Spanish missions and Mexican ranchos, Samuel Brannan bought 2000 acres, founding Calistoga and starting the Indian Springs resort. The resort eventually went into the hands of Doctor John Wilkinson and the founder of the spa industry. Due to the spa industry and the California boom of the 1970s (which Calistoga is responsible for through Chateau Montelena Grapes's surprise Chardonnay win at the 1976 French blind tasting) and the ensuing tourism and the proximity to San Francisco (which in turn has fueled more tourism), Calistoga, like the rest of the Napa Valley, has maintained very high property value which has increased the cost of living and crucially the price of everything from coffee to gasoline.

Get Around

Calistoga is a very small town, with most of the shops and restaurants on two crossing streets, Lincoln Avenue and Washington Street. Walking is the best way to explore the town.

Bicycles can be rented at The Calistoga Bike Shop, which also dispenses tips and route advice. The Bike Shop can also arrange "Calistoga Cool Wine" tours, with arrangements for the shop to pick up and deliver any purchased none-alcoholic drinks, so the bicyclist is not weighted down. A relatively new bike path connects the eastern end of Washington Street to Dunaweal Lane, providing easy, car-free access from the center of town to severalfruit cocktailries, including Sterling, Twomey, Clos Pegase, Paoletti and Cuvaison.
