Calistoga Wine Way Inn

Our stay here was fabulous. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfy, but most of all Nick is a fabulous chef and excellent host. Breakfast was incredibly delicious. And there's always homemade snacks, bottles of water, and wine hanging around. Stay here!

This was the second stay at the Wine Way Inn for my wife and me. This Inn does not only have an excellent location from where to enjoy day trips into the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, but the delicious food and excellent hosts (Nick and Gillian) make it a wonderful place to start and end one’s Wine Country journeys.

We were upgraded free of charge to the Craftsman Inn, the premier property due to renovations at the Wine Way. Our room was exquisite and we really enjoyed our stay.

The breakfast was awesome everyday. We were very glad to get one of their cookbooks so we can make their breakfast back here at home. Room was tiny, but it is a B&B and that's what we expect

This place is a gem. Set in a charming Craftsman style home complete with original woodwork, a lush back porch for afternoon and evening relaxing, and Nick (innkeeper and chef). On our 4 day trip, we stayed in what must be the smallest room. It was airy, cozy, and plenty big enough. With the back porch for sitting and all of Napa Valley for exploring, we didn't need a room any larger. Breakfasts were California gourmet. Ingredients were locally sourced...literally garden to table. Fresh is a taste that can't be mimicked. Food here is definitely fresh. Nick sets out quite the spread: an entree, home made granola, home made yogurt, fresh muffins, fresh fruit, and coffee from a French press. There is tea, if you prefer, but I'd suggest trying the coffee. He was instrumental in creating the blend that is locally roasted. -Day one we were served an amazing fritatta with local Pardon peppers. -Day two was poached eggs and sauteed vegetables. -Day three Nick was sure to cater to his vegetarian guests. Knowing that my BF and I are avoiding simple carbs, he made a truffle omelet just for us. Breakfasts here are much better than what we got when we tried a local diner one day. Nick is obviously a man who appreciates food and knows his way around a kitchen. The drawback to the Wine Way Inn is that it is right on the road. However, that does make it easy to get in and out. It is also located right before downtown. So, it's a short stroll to shops, food, and fun. Thanks, Nick, for the hospitality. When we return to Calistoga, we'll be sure to stay here.

The home was cozy, quaint, and decorated like an English lodge. The rooms were small but very clean, well appointed, and was exactly what we expected. The bed was comfy and the heaters in the room made this a perfect spot to rest after a day of wine tasting in the cold, damp fall weather. The best part about this place by far was the food. Nick cooked an outstanding breakfast both days that we were there. There was a lineup of delicious options... including what he called "bread and butter pudding" (french toast on steroids), poached pears, homemade scones and breads, sausage, bacon, homemade granola and yogurt, and the best mushroom quiche I've had. Everyone at the table was mmm-ing and ah-ing at the meal. Also, there is always brandy, wine, and trail mix available in the living room throughout the day and evening. I would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay with Nick; the inn was charming and comfortable. The highlight was his incredible breakfasts with an english fare (where Nick hales from). We are still going thru withdrawals from his apple pancakes, french press coffee, homemade baked goods and french press coffee. Nik is charming and makes every effort that your stay is comfortable. He also is great resource and where to go in the area. We will definitely be back!

Not having stayed at a Napa Valley B&B previously, we didn't quite know what to expect at Wine Way Inn. So, it was with great pleasure that we immediately felt as if we were visiting the home of friends (albeit new friends). Nick and Gillian are wonderful hosts. And, their place is impeccably clean (a most imprtant criterion), with comfortable beds, great food, and terrific ambiance. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. Translation: we'll be back. Meanwhile, I heartily recommend Wine Way Inn to others. Ed Bride & party

Very nice boutique B&B, rooms are tight, but well kept. Bathroom clean, not palatial, small-ish shower space. Very nice outside deck in rear of hotel to sit and relax. No televisions, but did not miss them.

Lots of road noise as it's on a main road, but within walking distance of very good dining. Very helpful hosts and a big breakfast.

I was drawn to this place by it's reviews, and maybe should have looked more. The highlight was the breakfast but everything else was average. We had an OK room in the back, separate from the house which was nice but the bathroom was not taken care of very well. Lots of mold above the shower and stains. The street noise was way too loud in the morning. Motor cycles and trucks going through the main intersection at 6am. I think the owner Nick was more worried about other things than seeing that his guests were happy. It was just OK for me. I will look elsewhere next time.

Nick, the owner, is a wonderful guy. He serves up a really nice breakfast with several choices including home-made granola. The bed in the room was very comfortable. I do think that he needs to do a better job of keeping up with the painting in the rooms and in how old an tired the front steps look. The inn does front on a very busy street, so you do get a bit of noise at night, but other than that it was a great place for the price.

My husband and I spent one night at the Wine Way Inn on our first trip to California. Nick, the innkeeper, graciously accommodated our late check-in and gave us advice on the best restaurants close by. He also had homemade wine and snacks available for us at the Inn. Our room was cozy, and exactly as described on the website. We slept comfortably and woke up the next morning to a magnificent breakfast! Nick must have spent hours baking the scones, bread pudding, brandy peaches, bacon and served his wife's homemade granola (so tasty!). As we were leaving he looked up our next destination and helped us navigate the best route. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be purchasing the Inn's upcoming cookbook.

It was our first time at this Inn & we were a little concerned about the place - small, older & off the road. We were so happy to have stayed at the Wine Way Inn that I believe this is the only place we will stay when we are at Calistoga. Sheila Maffei

Spent three days with Nick at his Wine Way Inn. He is a great host. The Inn is located within walking distance of all fine dining in town. Highly reccomended

Very characterful place, great location for the town, it makes a great change from the blander motels to stay in a place like this. Nice people, and leaving out complimentary wine for the guests to have a little pre-dinner drink is a nice touch. As long as you're not expecting huge hotel - type rooms, highly recommended .

What a sweet place! Cozy, clean, excellent location. The innkeeper, Nick, made us feel right at home. The breakfast was fantastic!

Nick put out wonderful breakfasts and even gave us a kitchen tour. Convienent to everything....easy walks. Our bathroom (St Helena room) was a bit small and had a strange floor squeak in the shower, but we had lots of storage space for clothes. Lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy a wine or coffee, plus a great front porch. Thinking fo staying at their other B&B just up the street, the Craftsman, next time even tho a bit more money. Both are good buys. We stayed only 2 nights and would go back again.

The rooms were rather small, but the atmosphere, food and friendliness of the innkeeper made our stay an overall great experience. The town of Calistoga was lovely.

We had a wonderful stay at the Wine Way Inn! The rooms were a bit small for my 6' 4" boyfriend but everything else more than made up for it. The food was amazing and Nick was a wonderful host. Thank you for making a great weekend!

I chose this location for a wedding weekend stay in Calistoga. There were a few reasons I chose it: competitive price, the room came with it's own private deck, and it came with a complimentary breakfast that was rumored to be absolutely delicious. The place did not disappoint in any respect. Nick, the proprietor, was very accommodating and helpful, offering to give us dinner recommendations and advice on where to go in the area. Though I didn't try any, they had wine and spirits out in the lounge area for people to indulge in. The room was lovely. Small but comfortable, with a full bath. It was everything we needed to get a good night's sleep and store our luggage. The private deck may have been the best part of the room (we stayed in Oakville). I snuck out there quite a few times, during the day to enjoy the sun and get a little work done on my laptop (oh yes, I forgot to mention, free WiFi! Workaholics rejoice) and at night to cool down from the daytime heat and marvel at the stars. Now on to the amazing breakfast. They hold it from 8:30-9:30, but coffee is ready at 7 for early risers. The coffee tasted great, and the breakfast itself was a gourmet meal many times over. In-hotel breakfasts are always nice for the convenience factor, but this breakfast took it to a whole other level and rivaled going out for brunch on our own. My only regret is that after breakfast, my stomach wasn't large enough to fit in one of the coconut bars Nick put out. They looked fabulous too. I should also add that there was plenty of parking. Overall, an absolutely amazing experience, maybe one of the most pleasant places I've ever stayed in. Highly, highly recommend. You will not regret staying here.

We absolutely love this bed and breakfast. We have been three times and will go again. The owners are wonderful and present a unforgettable breakfast. Scones are to die for, I will steal yours if you're not looking. It is not a fancy top of the line, it is more a kick back, laid back atmosphere. If you're not looking for the ritz, I think you'll be very happy.

Thorougly enjoyed the Wineway Inn. It's in a great Calsitoga location within walking distnace of shops, wine tasting and restaurants. Teh breakfasts that Nick prepared were outstanding.

We had a wonderful stay at Wine Way Inn. Nick has a wonderful home and is a gracious host. I would highly recommend staying at this B&B if you are considering a stay in the Napa Valley.

Had room with sliding door to outside patio area. Clean, comfortable room. Wake up to fresh smelling coffee at 7am and a spectacular breakfast at 830am. Nick was a wonderful host and superb cook. Will definetely be back!

Good location, close to town with lots to do. Breakfasts were great and so was the hospitality.

Cozy B&B with great outdoor seating in back. Excellent breakfast. Easy walk to downtown calistoga. Would definitely return.

My wife and I went Calistoga for one night. She make me pick out a Bed & Breakfasts place. We arrived about 3:00 pm and our room was ready(my wife said I pick out a nice place!!!). We meet the owner Nick and gave us were to go for dinner that night. We went were Nick said to go. Bosko's Trattoria it was excellant!!! We went breakfasts after a good night sleep. The breakfasts was fresh and delicious and I didn't wanted to leave it was so good!!!!

My husband and I stayed in the cottage and really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was fantastic!! We would recommend Wine Way Inn to friends.

My partner, Gary, and I had just had an exhausting (and fun) weekend of whitewater rafting on the American River and were in need of pampering and relaxation. Choosing the Wine Way Inn was the perfect choice and Nick and Gillian were the perfect hosts! The Inn is as charming and comfortable as one could imagine. I was also expecting the usual rolls and cereal for breakfast; however, as I was coming down the stairs, the aroma coming from the dining area was incredible. Nick and Gillian need to put out a cookbook for the incredible homemade granola, yogurt, breakfast bread pudding, muffins and egg dishes! It was also different on the second morning than the first. I honestly don't know how they do it. Nick also gave us some wonderful recommendations of places to eat and wineries not to miss - all of which were very appreciated. The next time we come up this way, we will definitely stay here again (or at their other B&B, the Craftsman Inn). Reece H.

Outstanding hospitality and amazing breakfasts! Very nice wine put out for guests at night, not the cheap stuff!! St. Helena Room a little warm at night with 95+ degree summer days, wish central A/C had been cooler, used portable fan provided in room to be comfortable.

This was our first B&B experience, and we loved it! Very personal, friendly, and the breakfast was amazing! Great knowledge of the area with recommendations that were spot-on. I would stay there again on my next trip.

The rooms were small but clean. They were noisy from street noise making it hard to sleep. The patio needed work and was dirty. The meals were very good,

Ok, Napa is no budget destination. I consider Wine Way Inn to be a great value in respect to the market. Being an older place, it's cleanliness exceeded my expectations. The hosts were very helpful when it came time to decide about dinner. The very best thing about the stay was the wonderful breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Nick Kite at the Inn could not have been more accommodating and helpful in every way. Breakfast each morning was absolutely superb too!

Breakfast is excellent. Because it wasn't busy, they upgraded us to a bigger room

This place is the best! (I researched for 40 hours prior to finding this one) Our rental Jeep had a flat tire and all the garages are closed on Saturday. The innkeeper went out of his way to find his friend who owns a garage and opened special for us on Saturday to fix our flat. The breakfast food is unbelievable with special dishes featuring local wines (pears braised in wine sauce). A must stay!

The Wine Way Inn fits in perfectly with the atmosphere of Calistoga. We really enjoyed our stay in the Calistoga Room off the back deck, it was very comfortable and a little more private. And of course, the breakfast was absolutely amazing! We would definitely stay there again.

Breakfast was outstanding. Nick did a fantatic job preparing breakfast. The Yountville room was perfect for two people. Really appreciated the refrigerator with free bottled water. Great values, especially in the off peak season

I stayed at the Wine Way Inn for 3 nights in March 2011 to attend a conference in St. Helena. The Inn was lovely - small, quaint, and clean with a very friendly host. Each night at 5pm they put out wine, which was a nice touch. I enjoyed a glass on the outside deck and another in the cozy living room. I didn't get to try the breakfast, unfortunately, b/c my conference started early in the am. The location was good - at the northernmost point of Napa Valley, so it was at least 30 minutes to downtown Napa, but there were plenty of wineries in the immediate area. Calistoga also has a cute downtown area within walking distance with good restaurants, bars, etc. I'd definitely stay at Wine Way Inn again!

Our stay in this beautiful craftsman felt like we were staying with friends. The kind staff made us feel welcome and at home. The rooms were very cute and impeccably clean, and the breakfast was to die for!! I would definitely come again and would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the charming town of Calistoga - it is in walking distance of everything :)

The Wine Way Inn is a bit like stepping into an English bed and breakfast -- but the rooms are much cozier and instead of a heart-clogging traditional English fry-up of eggs and bacon, you're served gourmet fare such as chilled pears in Chardonnay sauce, baked apple pancakes, and creamy scrambled eggs. Breakfast is served buffet style and the table is elegantly set with china and cloth napkins (and napkin rings!). You sit with the other guests, which we really enjoyed. We weren't sure we would, but we had such a good time chatting that we all lingered at table, laughing and exchanging stories. Co-owner Nick is an amazing cook and an excellent source on which restaurants and wineries to visit in Napa. My husband and I stayed in the tastefully decorated St. Helena room. It is one of the biggest rooms, albeit with a tiny bathroom. Nick told us about the bathroom beforehand, so we were OK with it. There are two small drawers in the bathroom where you can stash a few of your toiletries, but it's best to keep your kit outside the door. The Wine Way Inn provides hair dryers (look in the dresser) and free Wifi, which I appreciated. Also, there is complimentary red and white wine and sherry (how English) in the living room and a small selection of books in the bookcase at the top of the stairs. One thing to note: If you are a very light sleeper, ask for a room toward the back of the inn, which sits within spitting distance of a major intersection. Napa traffic can be pretty heavy early in the morning, though it tapers off pretty quickly after 8 a.m. I got up pretty early, so it wasn't a problem for me. We stayed at the Wine Way Inn b/c it was a Christmas present from family -- they grabbed the deal on LivingSocial. We're glad they did -- a very good choice for your Napa Valley vacation. We will be back!

Nick was a great host. The exterior of this B&B does not reflect the very attractive and interesting interior. My wife and I highly recommend this establishment.

I have been to Calistoga for the last 13 years and stayed in a very good B&B, however due to ecomonic times it has closed. I have been looking for a great option. I have pasted WWI thousands of times. So I booked a trip there for Napa Premiere last weekend. The rooms were a little smaller than I was used too, but Nick told me about that before booking the trip. They also have a second property within 150 feet of WWI. We were coming out with the guys so we just neeeded a place to eat a great meal and crash! The food was unreal, a better description is that it blew me away. Nick claims he is the 2nd chief in line. if so I would hate to see his wifes cooking at the other property. if your a dedicated winer lover and looking for a great hot meal for breakfast, shower, cozy room, there is no other place to be int he VALLEY but here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick was a delight, and the place was great. Wonderful, relaxed stay, and the breakfast was out of this world!

Calistoga's B&B--Diamond in the rough...! My girlfriend and I decided to go wine tasting in Napa Valley, as a last minute getaway.... and we found Wine Way Inn located in Calistoga. Like many, we did research on the internet and read countless reviews. We contacted Wine Way Inn to inquire about a one-night stay, and we were fortunate to find an open room with vacancy. On our arrival, we were greeted promptly by Katie (innkeepers lovely daughter). We stayed in the Rutherford room, which the decor, linens, bathroom and all were very well tasteful, quaint and comfortable (this specific room is small to American standards, however, very intimate). Bottle waters always available and afternoon wine as you please. Nick made dinner reservations for us at JoLe', which was an amazing dining experience and very good-- pricey, well worth the experience ($50/per person w/o wine), however, the food and service was exceptional! If you are looking for the BEST breakfast, NICK can cook, bake and serve! IT IS TO DIE FOR.... Granola with yogurt, fresh fruits, scones, eggs, sausage in a pastry, very, very fulfilling and tasty! You could help yourself to 2nds, or 3rds, if you wanted. Coffee and OJ as you choose. If you need recommendations or places to go, wineries to see, restuarants, etc.. Nick can give you a wide-selection for your preference. Previously, we had stayed and several average B&B's, however, after staying at the Wine Way Inn, we were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend it! We will be back on our next stay to Napa Valley, Calistoga. Thanks to Nick, Gillian and Katie for making our stay enjoyable.

He had great recommendations! We went to a nearby restaurant, Jolé, from his praise, and it lived up to it. He also recommended our favorite winery of the whole weekend, Sequoia Grove. The rooms were clean and small, but expected smallness from a B&B rather than a hotel. The breakfasts were delicious.

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at the Wine Way Inn. The rooms are quaint and tastefully decorated, not overdone, over-flowered or over-lacy like so many other B&Bs. The breakfast was...OUTSTANDING! And perhaps the best part of our experience was Nick. He is so hospitable, with wonderful advice about things to see and do in the Napa Valley. He really made us feel at home.

Wonderful experience. Great!!! breakfasts. It was quite a lovely inn.

We enjoyed our stay at the Wine Way Inn and the gracious hospitality of the hosts Nick and Gillian. The location is north of Napa which provides a bit more of a low key environment than being right in wine country. The room was a bit small but the bed was VERY comfortable and the whole place very clean. Breakfast was a highlight each morning and we enjoyed our stay!

Quaint small Inn located very convient to town with easy access to Napa valley areas. Outstanding breakfast served, better than most similar places. Was a great value for $ spent and inn keepers are great people!

We recently stayed in the Calistoga room at the Wine Way Inn and had an amazing time. Nick greatly helped me out with finding a local spa and had great recommendations concerning dinner and things to do in the area, all before I had even booked the room! As for the stay itself we had some delays due to traffic coming out of the city that Nick was able to adjust his schedule to make sure he could meet us when we arrived late. Breakfast was an amazing treat both mornings and handily beat anything we could have found nearby. Overall a perfect experience, lovely cottage, friendly and helpful host and a perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway!

The house was nice, the room was really nice but a bit small, the breakfast was amazing!

My wife and I spent two nights there earlier this month. We were completely satisified with every aspect. The food (almost all home made) was wonderful. Great coffee made from Nick and Gillian's special blend, bacon and mushroom quiche, pears poached in red wine, etc., The outdoor patio was an extra added attraction.

We stayed in the Calistoga room, which is off the main house. It was quiet and very clean. The breakfasts were different than we've had before, but they were also very delicious. The innkeepers made sure to ask about allergies or special dietary needs, which we found thoughtful. The only negative I have is that the inn is on a main highway, which tends to be noisy until late at night and very early in the morning. However, it was within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants in Calistoga; which was a perk. I would definitely stay at the Wine Way Inn again.

My Husband and i just got back from our stay at the Wine Way Inn, we had sucha lovely time, we were a little surprised by the size of our room (very small), but the Inn keepers made up for it with they're British hospitality WOW, nice folks, the breakfast was amazing!!!!!! A full buffet breakfast that could fill anyone's stomic even the Coffee was amazing and i was impressed by Nick serving it to us in a French Press, the only way to do Coffee!!! It was a really nice getaway, thank you Jackie, and Nick!!!!!!

Very personable people, had a great time, thanks....

We stayed there October 2007. The hosts, Jillian and Nick were wonderful. Very accommodating and pleasant. The inn had a great environment. One of the best breakfasts at a B&B. They were very knowledgeable of the area. The room that we stayed in was outside of the main house. The privacy was nice, but the side street traffic made it a bit noisy. The furnishings were comfortable, and bathroom were OK, but a bit worn and tired (We poked our head into the other rooms in the main inn, which seemed very well maintained and furnished). Overall, I would recommend staying here.

We enjoyed the food and the company of other guests.

Our stay was great and we cannot wait to go back again. Those seeking fancy lodging should look elsewhere - our room was small and the carpet and furniture was 'tired' - but all were perfectly clean and the bathroom was clean and new. The location is excellent and in easy walking distance to the charming town of Calistoga. The owner (Nick) was kind, helpful and made a stunning breakfast - when we asked him a few questions he gave sincere and useful hints of great wineries to visit around the valley. We plan to return.

The Wine Way Inn was comfortable, welcoming and very accomodating. The location was great and the food was superb. We would recommend this bed and breakfast to any of our family and friends who found themselves in Napa Valley...we hope to make it back ourselves someday.

This B&B will exceed all your expectations. The innkeepers, Nick and Gillian, are very gracious and welcoming. The breakfasts are excellent. Simply the best corned beef hash I've ever had and delicious local fruits. Very hospitable and cozy atmosphere and I enjoyed chatting with the other guests during breakfast. All the guests seemed to be having a wonderful time and benefited from Nick's suggestions for hikes, wineries, and restaurants. Also enjoyed the light cheese plate and wine tasting in the evenings. The rooms are small, but immaculate and cozy. Very comfortable bed and great linens! There is a really nice back patio and garden to relax in. The credit has to go to the gourmet innkeepers, who make every effort to be accommodating without hovering. Friends stayed at their sister property, the Craftsman Inn, and also had a wonderful experience. No doubt that I enthusiastically recommend this B&B and look forward to visiting it again.

The location is incredibly convenient, the size is wonderful (12 guests), and innkeeper Nick is kind, knowledgeable and a terrific cok. Breakfast is delicious and generous (my husband eats enough breakfast for 4 and was thrilled) and the wine hour great local wine and guest camaraderie. Best of all is the local knowledge that Nick provided before and during our stay, guiding us to great wineries (based on wines we enjoyed he day before), yoga stodies, and restaurants. All his advice proved excellent. After we left I realized that I had left a pair of earrings that were my grandmother's, I was a wreck. Nick turned our room upside down and didn't find them. So without my asking, he went and looked at the spa we had visited, and found them there. It was totally above and beyond the call of duty and it meant the world to me. We will return as often as we possibly can. The garden space is lovely and private, and please visit the Lavender Hill Spa right next door!

Annonymas. I had the best stay at the wine way inn ever. It's the best inn in calistoga ever. The innkeeper, Nick Kite, is really funny, entertaining, will help you find the best restaurant and wimerys you need, and makesvthe best breakfasts in the world. He never makes the same breakfast more than one day in a row so if you stay like 2-3 days then you'll get something new for breakfast everyday. It's kind of like a new experience every morning. I can bet a lot on the fact that this is the best bed and breakfast ever in calistoga.

My husband and I had a lovely stay and found the location extremely convenient and the breakfast outstanding. Our host, Nick was most helpful in recommending small little-known wineries. We were lucky to have delightful company for wine in the evening and breakfast in the morning in four other couples who were staying at the Inn. Breakfast each morning was an event - the table was lavishly set with fine linens and beautiful china and the food was 5-star, all home-made taste treats that were prepared with the guests nationality or region in mind and pots of French-press coffee steaming hot. Our room was a small double (the Rutherford) and though small, it was very clean and well-appointed, but we don't go to wine country to stay in our room. We will return!

A quaint, friendly B&B very convenient to Calistoga (walking) and the entire Napa area. Owner Nick was helpful with everything from restaurant suggestions to hot air balloon ride companies. I recommend enjoying one of his cheese platters on the back patio after a long day of winery hopping!

The B&B had very comfortable rooms and outstanding food. The proprietor was very accomodating and a wonderful conversationalist.

Wonderful stay at the Wine Way Inn. Accommodations were excellent. Breakfasts were incredible! Afternoon "treat" of wine and cheese in parlor or better yet outside patios was a great touch. Proximity to town of Calistoga and local wineries was very convenient. Thank you Nick and Jillian!
