Built at
the turn of the century the Wine Way Inn is one of the finest
examples of Craftsman architecture in Calistoga. Reputedly built
for Leland Stanford, our builders tell us that the structural
timbers are American white pine that must have shipped around
the horn from South Carolina.
Converted
from its original status as a family home in 1978, the Wine
Way Inn is Calistoga's oldest Bed and Breakfast Inn. The original
adaptation, and the loving care of the current and previous
owners, have preserved the best of the original architecture
while providing accommodation with period charm and modern convenience.
The guest
dining room and parlor have the original shoulder high oak wainscoting
and leaded glass built-in cabinets along with a charming fireplace.
The building
is complemented by the stunning multi level redwood deck at
the rear of the house. Always a wonderful surprise for our new
guests, the deck and garden provide an ideal spot to relax and
soak up the last of the day's sunshine while enjoying the views
of Mount St. Helena and the Palisades.
On warm
nights (most of the year here in Calistoga) guests congregate
here to enjoy the evening's complimentary wine and appetizers,
share stories of the day's wine finds, or simply make new friends.
For those preferring more intimate conversation, there is plenty
of room to find your own private spot.
We
look forward to meeting you!
