Most of the restaurants and shops are focused on just a few streets, centered around Lincoln Avenue with its eclectic shops, fine dining establishments, and the vibrant Arts Walk. The town touts itself as a destination for happy and healthy pleasure seekers and it offers the ability to walk and bike to just about everything, including to and from the luxury resorts and spas, as well as hiking trails in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. Like the rest of the Napa Valley, the town itself is surrounded by famous vineyards, wineries and larger estate properties.

In the 1860s, Sam Brannan, the leader of the permanent American settlers to arrive, developed a spa similar to one in Saratoga, New York. The town was later named Calistoga, after Brannan’s tipsy proclamation that he would make this area the Saratoga of California — which came out as the “Calistoga of Sarafornia.” When Brannan’s vision of building a railroad was realized, Calistoga became a summer retreat for San Franciscans.
