I stayed at a B&B in the Calistoga area of Napa. Of course, I have been wondering about how it fare as it was a place with a lot of good memories for me. It sounds like from this that Sonoma probably took the brunt of the damage. Anyway, I recently receive this update from the B&B owner which I thought may answer some questions for folks here about how the fire affected the valley or who were thinking about traveling there in the near future.
I am greatly relieved to share with you that CasaLana and downtown Calistoga were spared from the recent wildfires. My heart breaks for those that lost lives, homes, and jobs or suffered any destruction from the wind and fires. We were fortunate here due to the amazing efforts of First Responders from many agencies, states and even other countries. I am humbled and emotional watching footage of what they endured to keep us safe.
CasaLana and Gourmet Retreats are OPEN for business. Calistoga and Napa Valley are largely unscathed by the fires. Driving from Napa to Calistoga you literally see no evidence of the devastation we've seen on the news for the past 10 days. Tourism is the livelihood of most of us in the Valley; we need your support now more than ever. I hope you will plan a trip soon to visit some wineries, book spa appointments and of course lodging. We will all be very grateful for your support.
