Beautiful Calistoga sits serenely on the northern end of California's verdant Napa Valley wine country. Peppered with hot springs and wineries, the popular area also features its own Old Faithful geyser and Petrified Forest. Locals embrace a storied past where the town’s founder was the state’s first millionaire and also founder of its first English newspaper and first natural hot springs spa.
