I love that town for its quaint looking charm...but i would rather skip the sudden change ftom hwy speeds and hit Silverado Trail and visit Calistoga and the charm it holds ! It is also quaint amd there are plenty of book stores and restraunts. My kids loved the trains with shops..including a train car that sold nothing but candy every where! I domt know if the train shoppes still exist but its worth investing your time into starting your trip on the historic SILVEPRADO TRAIL AT THE FAR NORTH END OF THE NAPA VALLEY AND TOUR YOUR WAY SOUTH on highway 29...enjoy!🎉
Hello Kitty, The 'train shoppes' in Calistoga you mention have, like so many other things in all aspects of life, 'changed'. This article, from October, '21 napavalleyregister.com/news/community/calistogan/news/boisset-purchases-calistoga-depot-adding-another-napa-valley-location-to-the-jcb-brand/article_4582c954-b08e-5b44-af15-91c0ac5dbaac.html announces the change. And here's a more recent (May, 2024) update on what you will find there. www.pressdemocrat.com/article/lifestyle/calistoga-depot-wine-food-spirits/
The history is deep! The stories of original residence. I’m 5th generation. I can name some family names.. really sad that they have been forgotten! My mom and her parents attended school in yountville and just south of yountville cross.
I've always found it interesting how there is a contingent of people who don't adapt well to changes, and always perceive them to be negative based on (things, environment, virtually everything) not being the same as when 'your' experienced them. Every town and city has changed over the past 50 years. It's simply a reality of life. I hear equal number of comments from people who miss the old as those who love and embrace the enhancements and improvements. It's all about perspective. In this type of scenario, there is no right or wrong....variety is the spice of life. 🙂
Not a trap at all... it's a sweet place to visit (and live). Calistoga was designed to welcome visitors by Sam Brannan when he built the town! But the video is absolutely correct - it's the most laid back and friendliest town in the valley. I grew up over the hill in Santa Rosa, and I live here in Calistoga now, and I love it. (And the former gliderport owners are my nextdoor neighbors!)
You are correct that 'tourism' is a key industry within all of Napa Valley as it complements the wine industry. To refer to it as 'trap' is a matter of opinion with a disparaging context, to which you are entitled. Wishing you all the best.
Not sure I understand what point you're attempting to make but I appreciate that you made a comment and hope you have enjoyed several of the videos, including the one featuring Liz discussing the Napa Historical Society.
Thank goodness it’s not part of Vallejo TODAY, because it would have a horrible school system, lawlessness everywhere, and messed-up streets. So thank goodness it’s Napa county NOW because otherwise, the city wouldn’t survive.
@Ron Jacks How about you be respectful when commenting? There’s no need to be rude on someone’s video when they’re simply trying to provide info for others who haven’t ever been.
I grew up in St. Helena when it was not over run by tourists and the wealthy driving up all the property prices. It was a great town where the locals knew one another. Now it's a play ground for the rich and tourists. Like Aspen. I left just when it started to become unaffordable for the working class. I live on the East coast and never wanted to live in California again.
I am from Philippines. And planning to work as a nurse in st helena Hospital. I need your advice because i will bring with me my son who will study as 3rd year college. Is it very expensive in st Helena? How about the housing. Ma'am Cathy please i need your advice. Thank you.
Hi Sheila, Did you end up moving to the area to work in St. Helena Hospital? If so, you know housing is quite expensive in Napa Valley. But much less than SF Bay Area, closer to the City and San Jose. Is there anything I can do for you?
Hmm, I myself don't make 6 figures and know many others that live here who also don't. I'm curious where you've derived your information? Especially curious since you no longer live in the area, as you mention in other comments.
Thanks for your comment Peter! I welcome your input as another seasoned agent as to best practices to maximize repeat client retention. Look forward to your thoughts!
That's a great point! Beer too! There are at least 7 local breweries in Napa now...even a "Beer Crawl" in January. Not to mention, it is often said, (by winemakers) "It takes a lot of beer to make good wine!" All the tasting during the process of making, blending, bottling, etc. requires the variety and palate cleansing of beer. Not to mention, Goose & Gander's duck-fat fries are rivaled only by those made at Compline in Napa. YUMM!
I've lived in Napa my whole life and some of these things I had no idea of. Thanks for the great tips, looking forward to exploring some new family friendly things to do in the Valley!
