Benefits of Chamber Membership
Why should you belong to the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce? There are many benefits of membership, including promotion of your business, event participation, networking opportunities and business education resources. In addition, you can be part of an organization which is a catalyst for business growth, a convener of leaders and influencers for positive change and a champion for the community.
Calistoga has been a resort area since Sam Brannan founded the town in the mid-1800s. His idea was to create the “Saratoga of California” and, in fact, Calistoga’s name is a portmanteau of those two places.
Today, over 60% of our 325+ members are visitor-serving, with a focus on wine, food and wellness.
We are located at the top of the Napa Valley with easy access to all of Wine Country. There are over 50 wineries located in Calistoga, producing everything from cabernet sauvignon to chardonnay and even our rare local grape, charbono; what really sets us apart is our wellness scene, supported by the hot springs pools and localized geothermal activity.
The Calistoga Chamber of Commerce has a contract with the City of Calistoga for destination marketing and management of the Welcome Center, in addition to supporting a strong local economy.
