Springtime in Calistoga is absolutely gorgeous. All the flowers are in bloom and the trees are flourishing and green. Spring is a wonderful time to escape from reality and come to our small historic town of Calistoga at the northern end of the Napa Valley. There is so much to do in our little town you will find it’s easy to keep yourself busy yet relaxed.
The weather in the Spring is delightful. The mornings and evenings are cool while the days offer moderate temperatures and plenty of sunshine. In Calistoga, the weather is great for taking advantage of exceptional hiking and biking trails as well as just strolling around town. The average spring temperature is 72 degrees. Moreover, the rainy season usually ends by April 15, and chances are excellent that it will be dry for your trip to Napa Valley.
This weather makes the perfect setting for an amazing trip with Napa Valley Balloons. The balloon ride will give you a unique perspective on Napa Valley, taking your breath away. All you can see for miles and miles are lush green vineyards, the vibrant yellow mustard flowers, and of course the rolling hill where the wineries are all tucked away. Not only do you get the most stunning view while experiencing the ride of your life, you are also provided with a delicious champagne breakfast to celebrate your flight. There really isn’t a better way to spend your morning here--looking out over the Napa Valley with the fresh morning air surrounding you and the plants all-glistening in the morning dew.
When you come to the Wine Country you expect to go wine tasting. You probably envision a chauffer driving you from winery to winery, without a care in the world. That sounds great, who wouldn’t want to do that? Well Getaway Adventures offers you a whole new perspective on the term “wine tour”. You get to experience the outdoors, the fresh air, different wineries big and small, and a gourmet lunch. With the scent of all the wildflowers swirling around you and the beautiful scenic route that is off the beaten path you will think that you are in paradise.
