Calistoga Wine Way Inn

A very nice place. Max was a great cook (need to channel the way to make those scrambled eggs), mellow guy, helpful. Great location right off of the main drag (and next to a great market that made a wicked steak burrito… they deserve 6 stars.) Grounds are very pretty– we had the Oakville room which had its own semi-​private patio that connected to some common areas (fire pit, etc.) and it’s very relaxing.
A few issues (said with hopes of having an impact and returning in the future to find them enacted– not in a passive aggressive hostile manner):
1) Oakville room NEEDS A/​C. We stayed with our friend for the first night in the Craftsman Inn (sister property) and they had the wall-​mounted A/​C unit keeping the room nice and cool. Others in the Wine Way had A/​C in their rooms. Ours… nope. Even a small portable unit would help. Temperature was 95 every day we were there, making for a warm evening in the room.
2) Bathroom was pretty small/​funkily set out. We made it work, but it wasn’t optimal. Some kind of layout-​rearrangement is probably not on the cards, but… it wasn’t great.
3) It IS pretty pricey. Breakfast was no joke, place is nice… but that’s the Napa-​ish area for you.
Having said my piece, I wholeheartedly endorse this place. Maybe a different room than Oakville until they get A/​C. But a very positive experience. Thumbs up.

This place is amazingly beautiful! The patio, gardens and the entire place is so elegant it make you feel so good! The service is outstanding and very personal. They make breakfast in front of you, very yummy and healthy. Rooms are neat and clean, wine is at the main living room for you to drink as you please. Every time I’m in Napa this will be our place to stay.

This place is so amazing! We are in town for a wedding and booked the Lokoya room to accommodate my husband and I along with our 3 and 5 year old. I was very worried about them disturbing others but at breakfast we even heard someone say, «There are kids here? I didn’t even hear them!» I did my share of shushing them and they still did their share of shrieking here and there.
We absolutely loved our room and this trip turned into a nice mini vacation. Our bathroom was huge and the pull out sofa was perfect for the littles. The place was also very clean. I heard there were big complaints about the noise of cars passing by but our room was the one right by the front door and we were not bothered at all. Yes, you can hear cars pass by here and there but it wasn’t a big deal and be barely noticed it. Perhaps if you are super sensitive then be sure to book the room in the far back.
The breakfast was delicious and we all had plenty to eat. Complimentary bottled water is provided all day in a self service fridge. There’s wine, coffee and tea access pretty much all day.
It’s also walking distance to some restaurants, shopping and wine tasting.
We have just made some wonderful memories here we’ll never forget and I’d love to come back one day!

This was my first time coming to wine country and I had a great time. Calistoga is a calm spot with tons of small shops, a quaint town feel, and beautiful views of the surrounding vineyards. I found the Wine Inn during a Groupon search and asked if brining a toddler and baby along would be okay. The owners were so warm and gracious — they even offered to upgrade me and my husband’s room if we booked directly through them (which we did).
We stayed in the Lokoya (sp) room on the first floor that had a king bed, mini living area, and the most gorgeous bathroom — including claw-​foot tub and frameless shower — you’ve ever seen. The room was comfy, but that bathroom was unforgettable!
While I have stayed in so-​called B&Bs before, this one was so special. Everyone got up in the morning to sit in the dining area and receive one of the tastiest home-​cooked meals you’ll get. The innkeppers are personable, attentive, and really make their former home a place to call your own.
I love small businesses and really enjoyed my time here at Wine Inn.

Stayed here for our 26 wedding anniversary get away. My wife and I enjoyed the place and were not disappointed by the reviews. I would recommend the place. The wine tasting across the street «Tank Winery» is a treat.

My boyfriend and I love this Inn — we first found it though a Groupon offer and because we loved it so much we came back a second time :)
The rooms are wonderful. Very clean, very cute and well maintained. I recommend their breakfast as well — super tasty. Should have not skipped it the first time, haha!

I recommend this place for couple who go for a wine tastings and surely can’t drive home because basically they have a perfect location for downtown Calistoga. The inn is so cozy yet old-​fashioned way, no television but it has wifi though. And one thing I like the most is their breakfast, it was really awesome! So yummy. My husband and I would definitely come back.

Connie and Carl made our anniversary trip so memorable. I have never felt like our 3 day vacation was as important to our innkeepers as it was to us, but they made all the difference. What a team!
The breakfasts… superb! The evening wine, so tasty! Their kindness, out of this world!
I couldn’t sleep in our first room because the bed did not work for my back. The next morning, they made sure I’d have a more comfortable stay in another room. And our second room was perfect.
Thank you!!!

The deals here are great and the location is in walking distance to everything. The rooms are very clean but the furniture in our room was falling apart and the bed was so so in comfort. Overall the experience here was great!

4 stars for the room, 2 stars for the hospitality.
My husband and I stayed in the Lokoya room, which is on the first floor right off of the main entry. The room is very nice, furnishings are great. The room has a small gas fireplace and a small sitting area. The real highlight was the bathroom which has a large shower and separate jet tub. And the room was kept so clean — a huge thanks to the housecleaner! One drawback is the street noise which can get quite loud. (The inn is at the corner of two busy streets.)
The hospitality was lacking. We arrived after 6pm, after closing time, and the innkeeper left our keys and an introductory letter outside on the front porch for us. No problem there. The next morning, the innkeeper was at breakfast and didn’t greet us. No introductions, no information about the inn or neighborhood, nothing. At breakfast they piped in really bad music, loudly (think The Carpenters). Regarding breakfast, my husband has an egg allergy. I told them about it before we arrived, and, realizing this can be a problem for breakfast, I said he would be happy with bacon and toast. The innkeeper said, and I quote, «we’re more gourmet than that.» They prepared something special for him, which was quite thoughtful. Except they chose to prepare for him a huge bowl of baked beans. Baked beans aren’t for everyone. And the thing is, it would have been fine… with some toast. But apparently they’re too gourmet for toast. But… the next morning at breakfast, the innkeeper brought him toast that was prepared especially for him! Yey! It was completely burnt. Boo! Like charred black on both sides. I don’t know if they were being passive/​aggressive about the toast thing, but it was just so weird.
So like I said, our room was great. We felt like the innkeeper hated us.

Absolutely fabulous experience, great place to stay in Calistoga. Will definitely recommend it to my friends. I will definitely come back in the future…

A rustic little inn in Calistoga that offers a great, casual place to stay with an tasty breakfast and friendly owners. Free glass of wine upon check-​in. The Wine Way Inn has no airs and graces. Small rooms, not overly posh, but well tended too. Honest and good. I’m a fan.

This inn is so wonderful!!! We stayed here for 1 night after climbing to the peak of Mt St. Helena. We really wanted to check in early because we were so dusty and grimy, but check-​in time is 3:30 — 6:00 and we were told the rooms weren’t ready. That’s ok, there’s plenty to do around the area like go to Old Faithful Geyser.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us around the house. In the main room, there was complimentary wine and sherry along with coffee and tea. We stayed in the Yountville room which didn’t have a TV but we were prepared for this (iPad with Netflix streaming). The room was very clean and quaint and the bathroom was surprisingly pretty big.
In the morning, we went down for breakfast which was served in a dining room and outdoor patio. The indoor table is communal. All the food was baked and made fresh that morning. We had a great time here and felt refreshed when we left!

My wife and I stayed at the Calistoga Wine Way Inn for two days recently. The location is certainly prime, with easy access to Lincoln Ave, the main drag through Calistoga. The inn keeper was just that, an inn keeper as the owners were on vacation themselves. She did a great job! She called before arrival just to say «Hello!» and to ask when she could expect us. Once we arrived we toured the house with her, and after showing us around, helped us become acquainted with Calsitoga with a map of the area. She also gave us some complimentary tickets to Tank directly across the street, which had reservationless wine tastings! The B&B was very similar to the pictures on Unilocal.Some rooms upstairs, some downstairs. We stayed upstairs in the Napa room. It faces the street and is noticeably loud for traffic. I think this could be addressed in large part by simply upgrading the windows. The room and private bathroom were both very clean and tended to by a maid later in the day. In the mornings, breakfast was offered. The cook went out of their way to provide a gluten free option for my wife, which was much appreciated. In the evenings around 4pm, the inn keeper left out a bottle or two of wine, which in our experience were empty by 5pm, so we didn’t have a chance to enjoy. The house is safe, the front door locks automatically when closed and the rooms had their own locks as well. The single door key provided by the B&B unlocked both the room and the front door.
One thing to note is the price. I paid $ 199 per night, booking more than 1 month in advance. This was the best price available on the internet at the time and was through
. When I got there, there was still a vacancy and the price was lower at $ 149 per night. When I checked in Unilocal,it was available for $ 125 per night through Unilocal offer. If you are feeling risky, book it at the last minute and save $ 75/​night!

We’ve just got back from a lovely weekend in the Wine Country and we stayed at the Wine Way Inn. Gill, Nick and Jeanette are great hosts. They keep the Inn like a home away from home, with all the details you need to be comfortable. They also are a trove of inside knowledge about the area, with great recommendations of where to wine-​taste off the beaten path and where to eat to soak up all that wine.
Now for the details. We had the Lokoya Room which was both snug and cosy, yet very spacious with plenty of storage. The bathroom was luxurious with a huge shower and a lovely jacuzzi tub, ingeniously designed to suit long legs and shorter people with its clever footrests. There was a nice fireplace which was most welcome, as the weekend was unusually cool. There’s a huge smart tv which we didn’t actually watch, and a sony clock radio with great sound which we used to play our iPod.
The room had its own little seating area which is nice if you want some privacy, but there is also a larger sitting room for all the guests with refreshments and games. The other guests were all very friendly, it was like being at a big family gathering, I even learned how to arm knit :-)
The breakfast room is a light and airy but the breakfast itself is the star of the show. Gill is famous for her home-​baked goods and rightly so!

Just the most relaxing place I have EVER stayed at. The room was so nice and the tub was relaxing. The breakfast was great and Jeanette was positively charming. We are definitely going to come here again!

The Calistoga Wine Way Inn was everything I expected a bed and breakfast in wine country to be: quaint, romantic, rustic, and nestled in a junction between nature and town. A beautiful home, the Wine Way Inn was a welcoming stop after a 2 hour drive. The innkeepers were incredibly kind and cared very much about our comfort. We arrived late at night and at the doorstep was a letter addressed to us with a key inside. The inn itself was beautiful and very homey I would say. A place Laura Ingalls might have grown up had she been born 50 years after her actual birthday. Anyway, beautiful place. The room we stayed in, St. Helena, was romantic and cozy; everything we needed. The breakfast that was served was also very simple but good: breakfast sausage, fluffy eggs, banana bread, fruits, granola, juice, milk, coffee, tea… and the best for last what Gianna called breakfast beans. So good.
Overall, great and romantic place to stay! Oh and did I mention complimentary self-​serve wine in the living room?

We booked two nights at the Wine Way Inn while in town to celebrate a birthday.
The location is great — easy walking distance to all of Calistoga.
The breakfast is wonderful — home cooked and delicious, gracefully served by the owners and enjoyed outside on their lovely patio. (in fact, we enjoyed breakfast so much that we purchased their cookbook in the hopes of replicating some of the dishes at home)
The room was comfortable — small and homey, a perfectly comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day. The bathroom was surprisingly large and nice.
The property is lovely — though like many Napa Valley visitors we spent the majority of our time out and about, the Wine Way Inn has a very pleasant sitting room and lots of bright space to enjoy breakfast.
It’s funny, because even as a former resident of the southern Napa Valley I found that I don’t know Calistoga all that well. But after this trip I’ll be tempted to stay here again on my next visit.
One additional note: another couple planned to join the party and stay at the Wine Way Inn as well but had to change their plans at the last minute. The owners were very accommodating and found a way to help them not lose the money from their reservation.

It is a great place to stay! The owner Nick is a great English guy who has a MBA degree! After doing a management at silicon valley for many years he decided to have this great place! I am glad he did! I feel like I am at home! I highly recommend you guys to visit Nick and stay at his place! This is my first time but for sure it won’t be a last time! :))

We recently stayed at the Wine Way Inn in the downstairs room just off the front entrance door. The room was lovely with a clawfoot jacuzzi tub, a large walk in shower, a gas, flick-​of-​the-​switch fire place and seating area. The room was fantastic, though just a bit dimly lit. The television, which we never turned on, appeared to be a nice modern flatscreen. The bedding was quite comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay.
The one ‘negative’ was the wine happy hour — there were no snacks in anyway (other B&B’s we have stayed at nearby have had cheese) and the wine was not good.
Wine Way Inn also gave us free bus passes on our key set so that we could take a free shuttle home if we needed to after dinner. The location is so great and easily walking distance to the downtown that these weren’t needed but what a great service to have available if you’re wearing heels, or if it’s raining, etc.
Would definitely recommend, just go into town for happy hour.
