Vault Wine + Artifacts in Calistoga, California, is a unique wine tasting room and antique shop that blends local wines with historical artifacts, particularly from the wine industry, offering guests a journey through wine history in a charming setting, contrasting with other historic vaults like the Coronado Historical Association’s former bank vault or Reynolda House’s Prohibition-era cellar, and aiming to connect visitors with the legacy of winemaking through curated experiences and a collection of aged treasures.
We stopped into Vault hoping to squeeze in a quick tasting before another reservation and tried the three wines offered through the Calistoga Wine Passport—every one of them was incredible. Because we loved them so much, we also tried an additional wine recommended by Vanessa, which was equally spectacular. Although we had to rush off, we knew immediately we’d be back after dinner.
Returning to Vault was the highlight of our night! They work with several different vintners so they offer such an impressive and diverse selection of wines. Vanessa was absolutely amazing and truly took us on a journey through nearly the entire tasting menu. There wasn’t a single wine we didn’t enjoy, and we ended up leaving with six bottles! The winemaker, Mario, even stopped by the tasting room, and we had the chance to chat with him as well. We had such an unforgettable experience & we can’t wait to return!
Great and cozy atmosphere. Carlos was excellent! He was very friendly and made some great wine recommendations that we ended up taking home their Merlot! Highly recommend giving this place a wine tasting visit.
The missus and I had a fun evening here. Plenty of inside seating for those chilly winter evenings, a warm and cozy ambiance, and Matthew and Mario were both very friendly and generous with the wine tastings. The wine selection also offered an extensive variation.
It would be difficult to cultivate a more perfect pairing than wine & antiques. The ultimate flavor of each being time, with a requisite of care, a body of origin, and permeated by curatorial expertise. Seated on and among entirely unique, pristine timepieces, it feels all too fitting to delight in some of the finest vintages the valley has produced these past few decades. When every piece around you has a story to match the journey of your wine, from vine to glass, you know you are experiencing the best the world has to offer.
You would be hard-pressed to find more tasteful selections in both the decor & the menu. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. What a grand experience!
