This store is a treasure! All employees, especially the owner, Claire, are so gracious and kind. The merchandise is fabulous, from so many countries! This store carries Pendleton blankets, shirts and various other things.
Picayune also carries its own brand of beautiful wines and other gourmet items. As previously said, Claire picks the merchandise which varies from all over.
Picayune’s is the first shop I go to when I am in Calistoga and the last when I’m ready to leave! Be sure and put it on your list ! ❤️
I was visiting from CO and they had a lamp I fell in love with. They offered to ship it. It showed up in a very well packaged box. Their store is so adorable but luxurious. I will visit whenever I am in Calistoga and tell everyone about it! Thanks again!
Such a cute little gem in the heart of downtown Calistoga! We walked into Picayune on a whim, and they welcomed us in without hesitation. It instantly felt warm, relaxed, and inviting the perfect casual yet charming spot to enjoy a wine tasting right in town.
What makes this place even more special is that it’s also a retail shop filled with fun and unique finds. You can sip great wine while browsing thoughtfully curated items, which makes the whole experience feel different from your typical tasting room.
Our wine educator, Gera, was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tasting both educational and genuinely fun. He took the time to explain the wines in a way that felt approachable and personal, which really elevated the experience. It didn’t feel scripted it felt authentic and tailored to us.
As locals, we’re always excited to find spots we’d confidently recommend, and this is definitely one of them. Whether you’re visiting or live nearby, Picayune is a must stop for great wine, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable experience.
Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my visit to Picayune! This was my second visit to the Calistoga area (which I highly recommend if visiting Napa) and I hadn’t visited any wineries that weren’t also a vineyard, so I was a bit hesitant. But Picayune was such a lovely experience! We were greeted by Jayne Marie, and she hosted us through a lovely wine tasting and food pairing. I didn’t realize at the time of booking that Picayune makes their own wines by purchasing grapes by local vineyards. Claire, the winemaker, is originally from France, and although it was her day off, she was in the store and stopped by to say hi to each table and shared more about her love for wine, and what inspired each varietal. We loved the Gatekeeper and the Origin, and both were our favorite red and white of the trip. This was such a unique experience (they even had a printed menu with our names on it!) and it was fairly priced. I would HIGHLY recommend. We absolutely will visit again on our next trip, and I anticipate we will order wines to our home in Missouri until we are able to visit again! (Photo pictured is after we had several of the tastings)
I attended the harvest dinner at Picayune and it was amazing! The food was delicious & the staff was knowledgeable & welcoming. I am a local to Calistoga and I recommend Picayune to all of my friends and family.
