14 Best Wine Bars near Calistoga

“We had a very nice tasting yesterday at Knights Bridge in Calistoga. Chrystal was very knowledgeable about the winery and wines in general. The tasting room has a quiet elegance with the very high bank ceilings. You won't be disappointed here!“

“Great spot. Rooms are nicely designed.“

“Napa Valley’s new hidden gem is Robert’s Tropical Table located in a converted breezeway/parking lot adjacent to the Mount View Hotel right here in Calistoga. Robert has been known for a decade as one of the handful of magical mixologists in our Valley having a long bar run at Sol Bar (until they closed for remodel and Covid) and then Brasswood before launching his rendition of a Jamaican Beach Cafe. His Ocho Rios roots come alive with a delicious selection of jerk chicken, pork belly, and wings with an escovitch fish perhaps better than mine. And never to be missed are the festival dumplings and a perfect Dark and Stormy. Open DAILY when the music is playing and gates are ajar (3pm to 10pm).“

“Cozy spot in the historic railroad district. They offer flights (build your own), glasses, & bottles in a range of varieties. Most importantly, they have great live music several times per week. Best place in the area to relax and hear some tunes.“

“Went to this lounge for Music Bingo on Friday (it's from 5:30pm-8ishpm every Friday in the same lobby where people check-in), cost is: tip the DJ). It was a fun time! Beer and wine selection was small but mighty. Drank the Ghost Town Hazy IPA (Amazing!)“

“We had a magical time at our wine tasting at the Saint! From beginning to end, the experience and the staff were excellent. I had accidentally booked our tasting for the wrong month, but the staff was able to quickly accommodate us anyway. The tasting was phenomenal, with four wines paired with complementary cheeses. We were looking forward to tasting some mountain wines for our last tasting of the trip, and we were blown away by the quality and depth of these wines! The tasting prices at the Saint are an absolute steal for the quality of the wines and the luxurious tasting experience.

Our wine-tasting guide, Christopher, grew up in the Napa region, and his deep knowledge of wine in general (from the vineyards to the table), and these specific wines in particular, was clear throughout our tasting. One of the things I appreciate the most about Christopher is that he is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is also a great listener. He didn’t have a “spiel” or stiff monologue like some guides. Instead, he gave us key information as he poured each glass, answered our many questions, and talked with us about the nose and palate of the wines we tasted. His great listening was evident when he was able to respond to specific comments and make tailored recommendations based on the tasting notes we liked the most. We ended up going “off road” to try some different wines on his recommendations, including some incredible Night Wines (from a small-production, very high-elevation winery which I believe is owned by some of the same people who own the Saint—if you are in the bar, definitely try their wines!). Our group was very slow—we take a lot of notes and take our time smelling and tasting—but Christopher was very relaxed. He adapted to our pace and reassured us that we could take our time, which made the experience even more luxurious. When the wine started to go to our heads and we asked if there was any way if we could order an unplanned cheese tray, Christopher and other staff members quickly put together a beautiful platter for us with nuts, cheeses, crackers, and herbs. They were even able to provide some homemade gluten-free crackers when I let them know about my allergy. At the end of the tasting, we ended up buying several bottles, some of which we plan to put away in our cellar and are very excited to open someday.

I would highly recommend the Saint to anyone who is visiting the region and wants to try some top-notch, complex, highly structured mountain wines without driving up the mountain itself! Thank you to Christopher and everyone at the Saint who helped give us such an amazing experience!“

“Best EVER!!! 💜💜💜💜💜“

“Highly recommend this property! Staff was exceptional! Looking forward to returning!“

“Tasty suds and wine list.“

“Reserved a tasting and three course lunch. Was an awesome experience with a personalized touch from the lovely couple that owns Night wines. Well worth the experience and food was amazing. The tasting had a chocolate Truffle that was like having a frozen hot chocolate in a ball. Lunch was a steak sandwich that was to die for. And dessert was a chocolate mouse cake that sealed the deal.“

“The best Peruvian food, so delicious 🤩“

“Visiting from Australia. A comforting surprise. Great atmosphere, pleasant & efficient staff & faultless food. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon drinks at the bar, followed by an early dinner. Jill was a fabulous host, providing us with lots local hints on things to do.“

“Eddie's kitchen, the food was excellent. I had chicken alfredo and a desert to die for. It was the chef favorite dessert. Eddie Jr. was very polite and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I love Eddie's kitchen. I will go there again if ever in Santa Rosa.“
