One of our favorite troubadours, Jimmy Buffett, sums it up well in his song “When the Coast is Clear”

They're closin' down the hangout
The air is turnin' cool
They'are shuttin' off the "superslide"
The kids are back in school

The tourist traps are empty
Vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be
Before the circus came to town

That's when it always happens
Same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

Donavan Almond, Founder of Calistoga Fitness, has over 20 years in the field of fitness, health and wellness. Donavan’s team of Calistoga Fitness instructors are available to our guests to assist in helping kick off your summer wellness program.

Helpful hints from Donavan.

Screen time detox. Our lives are wrapped around the phone and internet but in order to refill your cup you need to disconnect and that is the easiest way to get started. 

Water, Water, Water. If you feel thirsty you technically are already dehydrated. That level of dehydration can reduce your ability to focus by 10%. Also, water keeps your skin, digestive system, and weight in healthier levels. 

Limit Restaurant Time. When traveling, try to reduce your eating out to 1-2 two meals a day vs. all 3. Restaurants add more calories, salt, fat, sugar to enhance the taste. Staying at a place like Calistoga Spa that has full refrigerators and kitchens give you the opportunity to save a little money and calories on eating a meal or two at your hotel. Also, it's fun going to local farmers markets and grocery stores like Cal-Mart to try local produce. 

Sleep in a dark room. Dark window shades or using an eye mask will allow you to get a full REM sleep making you feel more restored and energize the next day. (also turn the alarm light down)

Do a fitness consult. If you don't workout regularly with a trainer, getting a consult about the best ways to get to your goals can't cut time and organize you into reaching those goals. 

“The Healing Waters”

The alluring mineral pools of Calistoga have been a mainstay of Napa Valley visitors for generations. Ancient civilizations found the healing and therapeutic powers of the mineral pools a source of rejuvenation in mind, body and spirit. The composition of our mineral water is deemed by Nature's filtering of rainwater through our alluvial Napa Valley soils resulting in a blend of trace mineral and essential elements. Geothermal forces elevate the temperature of the mineral water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit at the source. The mineral pools at Calistoga Spa Hot Springs consist of four unique pools each designed to revitalize the senses.

This warmth can make it enjoyable for bathing and relaxing, and it is often used in spa treatments for its therapeutic properties.
• Mineral Content: Geothermal water often contains a rich and unique blend of minerals that it absorbs as it travels through layers of rocks and minerals underground. The specific mineral composition can vary depending on the geological characteristics of the region, but it commonly includes minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, silica, and potassium. These minerals can have various health benefits when absorbed through the skin or ingested, such as promoting relaxation, improving skin health, and aiding digestion.

Harvesting: Grapes are typically harvested in the fall when they have reached the optimal level of ripeness. The timing of the harvest is crucial as it significantly affects the flavor and composition of the wine.

Crushing: The harvested grapes are then crushed to release the juice. Traditionally, this was done by stomping on the grapes, but today, mechanical crushers are more commonly used.

Pressing: After crushing, the grape juice is separated from the solid parts (skins, seeds, and stems) through pressing. The choice of whether to include the skins in the fermentation process depends on the type of wine being made.

Fermentation: The grape juice, now known as "must," undergoes fermentation. During this process, yeast converts the sugars in the must into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Red wines are fermented with the grape skins, which impart color and tannins, while white wines are typically fermented without the skins.

Aging: After fermentation, the wine is often aged to develop its flavors. Aging can occur in stainless steel tanks, oak barrels, or other containers. The choice of vessel and the duration of aging depend on the type of wine being produced.

Clarification: The wine may go through a process of clarification to remove any remaining solids or sediment. This can involve filtration or the use of fining agents.

Blending: For some wines, different batches may be blended to achieve the desired flavor profile and consistency. This is common in the production of many red and white wines.

Bottling: Once the winemaker is satisfied with the wine's development, it is bottled. Bottling involves carefully filling and sealing bottles to protect the wine from oxidation and spoilage.

Labeling: Wines are labeled with information such as the grape variety, region, vintage, and alcohol content. This information helps consumers make informed choices and provides a sense of the wine's identity.

Aging in Bottles: Some wines, especially high-quality red wines, benefit from additional aging in the bottle. This allows the wine to continue developing its flavors and complexity.

It's important to note that winemaking is both an art and a science, and different winemakers and regions may have unique approaches and traditions. The quality of the grapes, the winemaking equipment, and the winemaker's skill all contribute to the final product. Additionally, wine can be produced in various styles, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines, each with its own specific production methods.

Vibrant Reds and Oranges: As the leaves of the grapevines change with the season, you often see a range of red and orange hues. This can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the vineyard.

Golden Yellows: Some grapevine varieties exhibit golden yellow foliage in the fall, adding brightness to the landscape. These yellow tones can be especially striking against a backdrop of green hills or a blue sky.

Deep Purples: Certain grape varieties have leaves that turn deep purple in the fall. This adds a rich and dramatic element to the vineyard scenery.

Earthy Browns: As the season progresses, the leaves may transition to earthy brown tones, contributing to the overall rustic feel of the vineyard in autumn.

Contrasting Greens: Not all leaves change color in the same way or at the same time. You might see a mix of vibrant fall colors alongside lingering green leaves, creating a beautiful contrast.

Fall in the vineyards is not just about the colors; it's also a critical time for grape harvesting. The combination of ripe, colorful grapes hanging on the vines amid the changing foliage enhances the visual appeal of the vineyard.

If you plan to visit a vineyard during the fall, it's a great time to experience the beauty of the changing seasons while enjoying the harvest atmosphere. Keep in mind that the timing of fall colors can vary based on climate, grape variety, and geographical location.

The mustard season in Napa Valley usually occurs from late January to early April, with the peak bloom typically in February and March. During this time, the mustard plants carpet the vineyards with vibrant yellow flowers, creating a stunning and picturesque landscape. Many visitors and locals enjoy taking scenic drives or walks through the vineyards to witness the beauty of the mustard season.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, planting mustard as a cover crop serves practical purposes for the vineyards. The mustard plants help control weeds, reduce soil erosion, and contribute organic matter to the soil when they are later plowed under.

If you plan to visit Napa Valley during mustard season, it's a good idea to check with local wineries or tourist information centers for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the timing of the mustard bloom, as it can vary slightly each year depending on weather conditions.

Inside Tip: Criss Cross the valley between Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail using Oakville Cross Road, Lodi Lane and Bale Lane to get up close to the vineyards, just be respectful as it is someone's property. 

• Physical Health: Rejuvenation can refer to practices or treatments aimed at restoring youthfulness or vitality to the body. This might include activities like exercise, healthy eating, skincare routines, or medical procedures such as cosmetic surgery.
• Mental Health: In the realm of mental health, rejuvenation can involve activities or therapies aimed at reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing overall well-being. This might include practices like meditation, mindfulness, therapy, or engaging in hobbies and activities that bring joy and relaxation.

A History of the first Calistoga Harvest Table September 2014.

Calistoga Harvest Table was a magical evening!

Calistoga Harvest Table, September 7, 2014- There is something comforting about ‘family style’ dining that takes us back to our roots of eating dinner at the family table when we were young and connecting deeper with the company we dine with.  Thomas Keller knows all about the magic of this concept by creating an entire restaurant for this experience, Ad Hoc, which was meant to be temporary, but by the demand of the people became a permanent restaurant in Napa Valley.

Life is busy nowadays and it has become more challenging to dine all together at one time, at the same table.  Now, imagine taking a family style dining experience to a whole new level of connection.  That’s what occurred Sunday, September 7th on Calistoga’s Main Street. The first ever Calistoga Harvest Table with seven hundred seats at the longest harvest table stretching the length of Lincoln Avenue in the valley featuring seventeen of Calistoga’s premier restaurants.  Locals and visitors shared stories over exquisite cuisine and wine and met new friends and reconnected with old friends.

The menus were spectacular, with not a crumb left.   Each restaurant was devoted to a certain number of seats, and each created a unique harvest design for their tables.  The restaurants featured were: JoLe Restaurant, Barolo, Kopio, Napa Valley Crust by La Prima Pizza, Boskos, Brannan’s Grill, The Calistoga Inn, Hydro Grill, Calistoga Kitchen, All Seasons, DiAmici, Café Sarafornia and St. Helena’s Culinary Institute of America at Greystone.

There were eight bars featuring different wine lists and beers provided by local vintners and breweries making it an event truly inspired by the whole community.  The featured wineries included: August Briggs, Barlow Vineyards, Bennett Lane Winery, Canard Vineyard, Castello di Amorosa, Chateau Montelena, Clos Pegase, Coquerel Family Estate Wines, Cuvaison, Dutch Henry, La Sirena, Envy Wines, The Grade Cellars/Winfield Vineyard,  Hall Wines, Hindsight Wine, Homage Vineyard, Hostage, Jack Brooks, Jax Vineyards, Jericho Canyon Vineyard, Jones Family Vineyard, Kenefick Ranch Winery, Knighton Family Vineyards, Larkmead Vineyards, Laura Michael Wines/Zahtila Vineyards, Luvisi Vineyards, Madrigal Family Winery, Maldonado Vineyards, , Phifer Pavitt Winery, Romeo Vineyards and Cellar, Schramsberg, Six Sigma, Storybook,  Mountain Vineyards, Summers Estate Winery, Tamber Bey, Tedeschi, Tofanelli, Tom Eddy Winery, T-Vine, Vermeil Wines/OnThEdge, V. Sattui Winery, Zacherle and  Ziata Wines.

The buzz and chatter were electric with live music setting a nice backdrop for the laughter, clinking glasses for cheers, stories told, and memories made.  It was truly magical and a great time with great food, great wine and fabulous company. Tickets are still available at Visit Calistoga

5 Hidden Gems in Napa Valley

As recommended by The Travel Detective and Travel Editor of CBS News, Peter Greenberg

1. Bale Grist Mill  
 
Before the region was known for its wine and grape growing, Napa Valley was used for wheat farming, providing massive amounts of flour. At the time, grist mills were quite common, as they were necessary for grinding grain into flour for human consumption and preparing grain for animals. Built in 1846, Calistoga’s Bale Grist Mill is named for founder Dr. Edward Bale, whose family was one of the first European families to settle in Napa Valley.  
 
Now protected as a State Historic Landmark, as well as being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Bale Grist Mill is operated by two not-for-profit organizations–Napa County Regional Park & Open Space District, and the Napa Valley State Parks Association. 

Napa Valley resident Martin Podell doesn’t just know how grist mills used to work – he still operates one. The fact that the Bale Grist Mill is still in Napa Valley, and is operational, is thanks to dedicated patrons like Martin, who is also the Head Baker at Model Bakery’s second location in the Oxbow Public Market .

Bale Grist Mill

To uncover Martin’s operation and the “Hidden Gem” of the Bale Grist Mill, make your way through Bothe-Napa Valley State Park . You may be surprised to find the mill is still fully operational–and the only one functioning west of the Mississippi River.

2. Model Bakery 

Model Bakery

Model Bakery is a century-old Napa Valley culinary institution. In its early days of operation, it likely used flour made locally at the Bale Grist Mill. Fast forward to present day, and you’ll find Model Bakery  continuing to prioritize local grains in their freshly baked pastries, bites and breads–including their famous handmade English muffins–at locations across Napa Valley, including Downtown Napa, Yountville, and St. Helena.  

Model's buttery, fluffy muffins are so delicious that Oprah Winfrey has named them to her Favorite Things List four times. 

3. Vonsaal Design  

Richard Von Saal established Vonsaal Design Build , a multifaceted design firm centered around architectural, interior and industrial design with a primary focus on commercial and luxury residential development. 
 
Richard is known to tailor every project with a meticulous eye for rich storytelling through materials and tradition – and at his newly-opened Vonsaal Adjunkt Showroom in Downtown Napa, he designs more than just interiors. His expertise in unique sculptural pieces, including stylish accessories like customized charcuterie boards, can help you perfect an at-home entertaining experience. Visit his new location to discover “a collection of non-essential things that support an essential lifestyle.” 

Vonsaal Adjunkt Showroom

4. Seguin Moreau

There’s a crucial step in the wine process that few wine drinkers ever see or know about. To find it, you have to visit the toasting floor.

The industry term for barrel-making is “coopering,” and at Seguin Moreau in the City of Napa, coopers have been crafting barrels for more than 100 years–though the craft dates back much further.

According to Master Cooper Andrew Byar, barrel-making is one of the oldest trades in the world. Many ancient civilizations experimented with wood vessels, and the Romans capitalized on their invention for storing and distributing goods for trade routes.

Seguin Moreau

In the wine trade, barrels are essential to the aging process. At Seguin Moreau, barrels are an artform, and the assembly starts with a pallet of wood, transformed into shape through careful applied heat, and pressed and bound together without any nails or glue. The toasting process, which caramelizes the natural layers of wood, shapes the nuanced aromatics in many of Napa Valley’s world-famous wines. The next time you pick up on aromas of black plums, toasted coconut, or smooth vanilla in your Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, you have a Master Cooper to thank.

5. Calistoga Spa Hot Springs 

From the outside, Calistoga Spa Hot Springs  looks like a classic roadside motel from the late 1950s, but here, people don't just come for the style. They arrive, literally, for the substance. It starts with geothermal mineral water–one of the prized natural resources of Calistoga. It’s in the pools, mud baths, and throughout the Calistoga Spa Hot Springs’ property. And famous Calistoga mud baths come from combining this celebrated hot mineral water with a secret ingredient: Volcanic ash. 
 

Calistoga Spa Hot Springs

Volcanic ash is readily available in Calistoga, a Napa Valley town surrounded by Mount St. Helena–a dormant volcano that erupted over 3 million years ago–and the Palisades range. These mountains don’t just offer gorgeous 360-degree views; they have established the region as one of the wellness capitals of the world, as dried lava has compressed and eroded over time to become the source of renowned mineral baths and treatments. 

The compounds and minerals inside, including magnesium, sulfur, and potassium, do wonders for the skin and encourage the body’s natural relaxation process. A mud bath at resorts including Calistoga Spa Hot Springs is an essential Napa Valley activity. While it’s hot, messy, and may require two showers at the end, visitors who partake in this ancient treatment insist it’s a heavenly experience–and unmatched.

Filled with charming towns, fascinating cultural sites, ancient mineral springs and culinary institutions, Napa Valley offers a wealth of lesser-known hidden gems sprinkled amongst its iconic vineyards and wine.
