Welcome to The Atlas, a vacation rental in downtown Calistoga. Three newly built modern cottages & a luxury home await you for an inviting escape.

Harvest wrapped early this year, so we’re toasting it the Calistoga way, with bubbles, underground. 🥂

Just up the road from us, Schramsberg has been making sparkling w**e on the same hillside since 1862. Its caves were dug by hand in the 1800s, and a visit winds through those cool, dim tunnels past stacks of bottles aging quietly in the dark before ending with a seated tasting of their sparkling w**es. It’s one of the most memorable hours you can spend in Napa Valley, and the perfect way to raise a glass to a vintage that came in early.

Visits are by appointment only, so plan ahead, or let us know when you book your cottage and we're here to assist.

Have you visited Schramsberg yet while in Napa Valley?

Cooler nights mean longer dinners. Here’s where we’d book this month.

Calistoga punches way above its size when it comes to dinner, and October is when the menus get good, squash, wild mushrooms, slow braises, and w**e lists made for all of it.

Lovina, for a cozy, seasonal dinner in a little house just off Lincoln Avenue. Truss at the Four Seasons, for a dressed-up night out with the vineyards outside the window. Solbar at Solage, for a long, celebratory meal. And Calistoga Inn, for something easy on the patio by the river.

A few of these are a short walk from your cottage, so you can linger over one more glass and stroll home. Save this for your trip, and tell us your Calistoga go-to in the comments.

Harvest came early this year, and it’s officially in the books.

The fruit is in the barrel, the crews are celebrating, and every tasting room in town has a story about this vintage. Ask about it when you visit.

Who are you raising a glass with and planning your next visit to The Atlas with?

Picture a Tuesday in December in Calistoga.

Mist low over the Palisades, coffee on the porch, nowhere to be. Around eleven you stroll into town with your Winter in the Wineries Passport. The pace has slowed, the pours are unhurried, and the person behind the bar has time to tell you the story behind every glass. Back at the cottage, the Lola Pinot Noir that was waiting when you arrived is open, next to a box of Annette's Chocolates, filled with delectable chocolates.

That's our winter Passport getaway, three midweek nights in your own cottage (Sunday–Thursday), a Winter in the Wineries Passport for two with complimentary tastings at 20+ w**eries, plus the Lola and Annette's waiting on arrival.

Book directly with us, link in bio. Tag who you'd spend that Tuesday with.

Ask anyone who lives here and they’ll tell you the same thing: October is the best month in Napa Valley. 🍇⁠
⁠
Harvest is still going strong, vineyards turning gold, warm afternoons, cool nights. We’d love to have you. What does your October calendar look like? ⁠

Some of our favorite people in this valley are the ones who drive our guests around. 🚐

We work with a small handful of transportation and touring partners we trust completely, and what they do goes way beyond driving. Tell them who’s in your group and what you like to drink, and they’ll build the whole day around you — the producers you already love, a couple you’ve never heard of, and those appointment-only estates that don’t take walk-ins and are nearly impossible to get into on your own (they know people). They make every reservation, keep the whole day on time, and drop you back at your cottage with nothing left to figure out except dinner.

Planning a stay? Tell us who’s coming and we’ll start putting the day together before you even get here. When is your next visit, let's get you a driver!

The light changed this week. Did you feel it too? 🍂

First day of fall. Sweater on the porch, second cup of coffee, vines just starting to turn gold. Come see it, fall dates are filling up, so book your cottage stay today.

Can we let you in on something? Come during the week.

Weekends during harvest are wonderful, we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But Tuesday through Thursday is when you actually see it happen. The fruit comes in at dawn, the crush pads are running, the w**emakers are behind the bar at their own tasting rooms instead of somewhere else, and the roads and the restaurant tables that are packed on Saturday are just… open. You get the valley more or less to yourself. It’s a very good feeling.

We still have some midweek dates open through harvest and we’d love to have you. Book directly with us for the best rate, link in bio to reserve today.

A little something from us, and from our friends at Lola. 🍷

Here’s the deal: book directly on our website, type the word “Lola” in the special request box, and when you open the door to your cottage there’ll be a bottle of Lola w**e waiting for you. That’s it. No catch. Lola is one of our favorite producers in Calistoga and we think the first glass of a harvest weekend should be poured on your own patio, not in a lobby.

Direct bookings only. Save this so you don’t forget the word. Plus we’ll share two for one tasting cards during your stay.

Olive oil + you + me. 🫒

If you’ve stayed with us before there’s a good chance you already wandered over to Grove 45. Their olive oil is all estate-grown and cold-pressed, and they taste it the way everyone around here tastes w**e: slowly, with real attention, with someone who can tell you which grove each one came from. People always come back a little surprised at how different they all are (and usually carrying a bottle or two).

Come stay with us, wander over on a slow afternoon, and taste the other side of harvest. Book your tasting with Grove 45 and your cottage with us, both links are in our bio.

Have you ever experienced an olive oil tasting?
