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.
