You may also prefer to take in the wineries on your own. Our web site is full of suggestions for winery tours that you can arrange on your own, and a good place to begin would be here Napa Valley Winery Tour.
If you will be doing spa treatments at Golden Haven or staying overnight, we will also provide you with a self guided winery guide that features wineries that will offer you discounts on wine purchases or complimentary tastings as a courtesy to our guests.
If you have some spare time in-between flying through the air and tasting all of our wine you should take some time to experience the Old Faithful Geyser and Petrified Forest. The Old Faithful is an astonishing sight. We are lucky enough to have one of the three Old Faithful Geysers in the world. The geyser is absolutely beautiful and it goes of regularly so you are guaranteed to see this remarkable sight.
Once you have visited the geyser you should make your way up to see the Petrified Forest. It is only about 10 minutes out of town on Petrified Forest Road. It is like taking a step back in time you can see tree fossils that are thousands of years old. You can take a walk through the meadow while gazing at the valley and learning about history.
There is no better to start or end your stay in Calistoga then with a relaxing spa treatment at Golden Haven Hot Springs or Lincoln Avenue Spa, each spa having their own exclusive touch. At Golden Haven one of the most popular springtime treatment would be our European Body Wrap. It doesn’t get much better than this; you get a spa treatment while you loose inches.
Some may be skeptical whether European Body Wrap really works, well I can tell you from my own personal experience it does. I lost over 10 inches doing the European Body Wrap for my first time. The deep cleansing Bentonite Clay pulls out all of the toxins that build up around your fat cells helping you to loose inches off our whole body as well as lifting the breasts and contouring the waistline. It is a great treatment to get you ready for the bathing suit you wanted to wear this summer.
If you really want to exfoliate and hydrate your skin I have just the treatment for you. Lincoln Avenue Spa offers a Hydrating Luxury Scrub & Wrap, which is a gentle yet, vigorous full body scrub that is followed by the application of Kukui oil and shea butter. The combination of sea salt, oils, and shea butter really works to exfoliate your body getting ride of all of the your dry skin. Kukui oil is great for hydration and healing your skin, as well as the shea butter that stays hydrating your skin for hours after you apply it. You will leave Calistoga looking like a new person feeling invigorated, smelling delicious, and glowing like the sun.
