Escape to California Wine Country, Escape to Calistoga

Some people mistakenly believe that if they don't want to drink wine all day, they'll run out of things to do in California's wine country. The truth of the matter is, there is so much to keep you busy that you may not have time to enjoy it all! Just don't over-plan, because you want the area to work its magic in helping you to unwind and relax on your vacation. So take the winding roads through rolling hillsides covered in the lush green of grape vines, as the fabulous climate works to produce California's famous wines. Your destination? How about Calistoga, California, in the lovely north end of wine country?

A good place to start planning your fabulous trip is with a visit to Rentalo.com. Many Calistoga vacation rentals are listed on our site, so when you seek Calistoga hotels or Calistoga vacation homes, begin your planning right here. We will have just the right Calistoga lodging to situate you with easy access to all the local attractions.

Perhaps you'll start your relaxing right away with a visit to a spa. Calistoga was originally founded in the 1860's as a spa town, because of the local natural mineral and mud springs, as well as hot water geysers. The combination makes for some luxurious mudbaths and hot spring soaking. Or maybe you'll choose one of our Calistoga hotels that situates you near the quaint downtown shopping. Stroll along Lincoln Avenue, enjoying many locally made arts and crafts, and visit Ca'Toga Galleria, which features works of resident artist Carlo Marchiori. Maybe you'll pick up some locally made wine as well, and bring it back to your Calistoga lodging to start off a wonderful evening.

Many visitors enjoy getting a sweeping vista of the wine valley by taking a balloon ride. The aerial view will treat you to the sight of Sonoma and Napa Valley vineyards stretching on and on. Or you can easily set out from one of our Calistoga vacation rentals to explore by bicycle. You might explore on your own or join one of the tours that combines biking and wine tasting.

Even more exciting is Safari West, where folks can enjoy an authentically African sightseeing safari, right here in the U.S. The savannah environment of this wildlife park provides a home for giraffe, gazelle, ostrich and antelope which roam about freely as visitors trek through in a safari vehicle. No matter how you fill your days, you will appreciate the comfort of your Calistoga lodging when you retire there every night.

You might choose one of our Calistoga vacation rentals with its own kitchen, so you can take advantage of the local bounty in fixing your own fresh meals. However, if you enjoy being treated to a special night out on the town, Sonoma County boasts world-class restaurants.
