Calistoga AVA
Calistoga AVA

Calistoga ( ka-list-ohguh) is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the northwestern portion of Napa County, California, within the Napa Valley appellation surrounding the locale of Calistoga. It was established as the nation's 196th, the state's 55th and the county's seventeenth appellation on December 8, 2009 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted in 2003, by James P. "Bo" Barrett of Chateau Montelena Winery and Vineyard, on behalf of the Calistoga viticulture community, proposing a viticultural area in Napa Valley to be known as "Calistoga". The name Calistoga dates back to 1857, with the first vine plantings in 1862. Viticultural and winery census data from 1880 lists Calistoga as a distinct region separate from Napa. Despite sharing the name, Calistoga appellation does not encompass the entirety of the town. The area is noted for its topographical diversity and uniform geology, with bedrock almost exclusively made through volcanic action. The hot days provide color and flavor in the wines, while the cool nights help to maintain acidity and structure The appellation abuts the Diamond Mountain District to the south and west, the St. Helena to the southeast, and the Howell Mountain is a short way to the east. The appellation is distinguished by its volcanic soil, high temperatures up to 100 °F (38 °C) during the day, and cool nights during the growing season due to breezes from the Russian River, causing the highest diurnal temperature variation in the Napa Valley up to 50 °F (28 °C). In 2024, the Crystal Springs of Napa Valley appellation was established adjacent to Calistoga AVA's southeastern boundary. During the comment period, a vineyard was noted as split between the proposed AVA and the established Calistoga. The vineyard, known as the Crystal Springs Vineyard, sat along North Fork of Crystal Springs Road between the northwestern portion of the proposed AVA and the eastern portion of the Calistoga AVA. Approximately 11 acres (4 ha) of the vineyard lay within the Calistoga boundary, and the remaining 6 acres (2 ha) within the proposed Crystal Springs. As requested, TTB ruled on modifying the boundary of the established Calistoga AVA placing the vineyard entirely within the Crystal Springs AVA.
