Calistoga resident here...my favorite, by far, is The Wappo Grill. Wonderful patio. Also, there are many great restos in St. Helena that you should try. Terra is my favorite in all of Napa Valley; my other favorite is Martine House

I highly recommend the Ink House Inn in St. Helena. It’s in the Napa Valley, but more centrally located than Napa itself. It’s between Calistoga, Yountville & Kenwood. Here’s a page about the Ink House Inn:...

Hello all! I’m a fellow CH from Seattle. My partner and I just booked a spur of the moment flight to Oakland for Friday, the 19th. We’re not sure where we are staying exactly, but it will be somewhere in the Napa...
