A lovely weekend get-away.... :)

David and I had a relaxing, fun filled weekend in Calistoga for our anniversary! We stayed at The Roman Spa & Hot Springs, which has 3 natural mineral pools exclusively for guests. We soaked in the mineral baths, explored downtown Calistoga, did some wine tasting, had a couples massage, and enjoyed an amazing dinner at Greystone Wine Spectator Restaurant. The culinary school and restaurant looks like a castle! The highlight of the meal were the "Daily Temptations" (amuse bouche), which are an array of small bites created by the chef each day. Saturday's Temptations included fried green tomatoes, salmon mouse on toasted chips, foie gras pate brioche, mashed potato croquettes, and a tiny cup of spiced butternut squash soup. YUM! And of course we ordered dessert - Chocolate Molten Lava Cake!

If you're in need of a weekend getaway and/or an amazing culinary experience, I highly recommend a trip to Calistoga and a meal at Greystone. :)
