InnCalistoga Wine Way Inn
An Arts and Crafts home built in the early 1900s with a multi-level redwood deck facing Mount St. Helena.

The Calistoga Wayside Inn sits one block from Lincoln Avenue's tasting rooms, which means walking to Frank Family or Vermeil without moving the car. Breakfast on the sunlit patio—fresh-baked pastries and hot coffee—is good enough that most guests extend their stay by a night.
Mornings begin when the scent of coffee drifts upstairs around eight, followed by warm scones or muffins set out on the patio tables. Guests linger over breakfast, then walk into town for mud baths at Dr. Wilkinson's or a tasting at Chateau Montelena. Afternoons mean napping in the porch swing or reading in the parlor before dinner reservations up valley.

The Victorian house stands at the corner of Foothill Boulevard, its wraparound porch lined with seasonal flowers that change from dahlias in summer to pansies in winter. Inside, the parlor holds a collection of old Calistoga postcards and a shelf of local wine guides. Guest rooms upstairs feature wood floors and iron bedsteads, each with its own character rather than matching sets.
Opt for a room with a private patio for a peaceful escape to enjoy the fresh air and garden views. On weekends, be sure to arrive early for the best selection at breakfast, which is a highlight of the stay. Calistoga’s hot springs are just a short drive away, perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of exploration.
