local businesses and the wine competition

The Calistoga Wine Society is pleased to announce the inaugural 

Calistoga Wine Festival, taking place on Saturday, August 15, 2026. 

This landmark event is expected to attract hundreds of local residents and visiting wine enthusiasts 

to downtown Calistoga for a full day celebrating the wines, food, and community of our town.

The festival will feature a professional Calistoga AVA wine competition, followed by the

Grand Public Tasting, with local wineries presenting awards-winning wines and local

restaurants serving their cuisine—bringing together the 

best of Calistoga hospitality in one high- profile event.

This is also a charitable community event, with proceeds benefiting UpValley Family

Centers, which support individuals and families in northern Napa County—including Calistoga

and St. Helena—who face economic and social challenges.

Our goal is to promote and support local businesses while encouraging visitors to shop, dine,

and explore Calistoga. We invite you to participate as a festival sponsor and showcase your

business to a highly engaged audience. Sponsorship includes a tax-deductible advertisement on

the Calistoga Wine Festival website, along with recognition in event communications.

What’s in It for You

 Visibility: Showcase your business and merchandise to local patrons and high-net-worth

visitors from the Bay Area and beyond

 Promotion: Recognition on the festival website and acknowledgment 

as a valued community partner

 Goodwill: Demonstrate your support for Calistoga and a respected local charity

Your support will help make this inaugural festival a success and, we hope, the beginning of a

cherished annual Calistoga tradition.

 Register as a business for sponsorship at 3 levels: Gold, Silver, & Bronze. Your logo and website link will be posted here as well.
