Some weekends are made for adventure. And some are made for truly, deeply unwinding — the kind of reset where you come home feeling like yourself again. A Memorial Day long weekend in Calistoga is the latter, and it might be exactly what you've been waiting for.
With three days to work with and one of Napa Valley's most welcoming wellness destinations waiting at the top of the valley, there's no reason this holiday weekend can't be your most restorative one yet.
Calistoga in Late May Is Something Special
Nestled at the top of Napa Valley, Calistoga has been drawing travelers seeking rest and renewal since 1862. What makes it special isn't just the world-class wine — it's the natural geothermal hot springs, the unhurried pace of Lincoln Avenue, and the feeling that everything here is designed to help you slow down.
Memorial Day weekend lands at one of the best times of year to be here. The hillsides are still lush and green, the vines are full of bright new growth, and the warm days and cool evenings are perfect for both exploring and unwinding. Tasting rooms are welcoming, the town has a relaxed energy, and the valley feels like it's at its very best.
It's the window before summer heat arrives and everything changes. Worth taking advantage of.
Three Days, Beautifully Spent
Friday Evening — Arrive & Unwind
- Check into your room and settle into that first deep exhale
- Head straight to the mineral pool — warm geothermal water, nowhere to be
- Let the week fade somewhere around the 20-minute mark
- Cap the evening with dinner in downtown Calistoga, just a short shuttle ride away
Saturday — Explore at Your Own Pace
- Start the morning back at the pool or ease into the eucalyptus steam room
- When you're ready, hop on UpValley's complimentary downtown shuttle
- Wander Lincoln Avenue, pop into a tasting room or two, find a sunny patio for a long unhurried lunch
- Back at the inn by late afternoon, the mineral pool is waiting to close out your day exactly the way it started — warm, quiet, and restorative
Sunday — Slow It All the Way Down
- Sleep in, spend a long stretch in the dry sauna, let the morning unfold
- If the outdoors is calling, the Oat Hill Mine Trail offers stunning views just a short drive away
- If it isn't, the pool and a good book are a completely perfect plan
- Hold onto that feeling as long as you can before heading home
