Wine Country Spas

  1. Indian Springs

    Indian
    Springs’ tradition of purification and healing began over 8,000 years
    ago, when Native Americans built sweat lodges here over escaping steam.
    The ancient tradition continues in the historic 1913 bathhouse, restored
    to pristine condition. Inside, thermal geysers warm volcanic ash in mud
    baths, and soothing music is played in the treatment rooms.

  2. Calistoga Spa Hot Springs

    The
    motel-like Hot Springs provides a setting in which you can make your
    visit as restful or as active as you like. Facilities include four
    outdoor mineral water pools, and exercise and aerobics rooms.

  3. Mount View Hotel & Spa

    A

    rejuvenation possibilities – mud, milk, or herbal baths, aromatherapy
    steam showers, body-wraps, massages, or facials – geared to individuals
    or couples.

  4. Health Spa Napa Valley

    In
    a serene, open-air setting, guests can yield aches and anxiety to a
    plethora of pampering and invigorating rituals. For some, that may mean a
    stimulating fitness workout, or a relaxing grapeseed mud-wrap and
    massage overlooking the tranquil Spa Garden.

  5. Dr. Wilkinson’s Hot Springs

    Over
    half a century of mud and magic are celebrated here. A mud bath
    consists of volcanic ash, imported peat, and naturally boiling
    hot-spring water from the source. Designed for maximum heat penetration
    and buoyancy, this formula is one of Calistoga’s most efficacious. The
    experience lasts from 10 to 12 minutes and is followed by a warm,
    mineral water shower. Next comes an aromatic bath, then a steam room. A
    blanket-wrap follows, then a nap and slow cool down.

  6. Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

    This
    famous inn provides an oasis of ultimate indulgence in luxury and
    refinement. Blessed by natural mineral hot springs, the legendary spa,
    with inspired architecture and plants, is all about understated opulence
    and serenity.

  7. The Kenwood Inn and Spa

    Nationally
    acclaimed as one of the Wine Country’s most elegant and intimate
    country inns, the Kenwood consists of 12 guest suites and a full service
    spa facility. The inn has the ambiance of an Italian country villa in
    the heart of the Sonoma Valley, situated on a secluded hillside facing
    over 1,000 acres of vineyards. The spa offers a variety of massage
    styles, including aromatherapy and Ayurvedic.

  8. Harbin Hot Springs

    Hot Springs is a non-profit retreat and workshop center located to the
    north of Calistoga. Its alternative clientele travel from around the
    world to soak in the natural spring pools, bask on sun decks, receive watsu
    and other massages from certified therapists, attend workshops, and
