Calistoga is located within California’s famed Napa Valley region and is known for its famous hot springs, which were originally discovered by indigenous Americans and Spanish explorers and first operated as a tourist attraction in the modern era by Samuel Brannan in 1867.

Today, the region is known for its luxury spas offering volcanic ash mud bath treatments, as well as its Old Faithful Geyser of California, which erupts regularly out of the casing of a 19th-century well.

A number of wineries are located a short drive from the city, including the Medieval castle-style Castello di Amorosa. Historic sites nearby include the Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park, which preserves an 1846 grist mill facility. Map
