"Today's Your Day" Special
Are you a procrastinator? If you keep thinking about a quick getaway to the "top of the wine country" and never quite get around to making your "escape" reservations, we've got just the deal for you. Call Brannan Cottage Inn on the same day you hope to "get out of town", and when we answer the phone, say "Today's My Day!!" If we have a vacancy for that same night, you can get the best room available for a very hard to beat $170.00 (plus local taxes) until October 31, 2011; from November 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012 the price will be $160.00 (plus local taxes). Of course your stay includes our usual excellent hospitality, a variety of opportunities to save on restaurant meals, spa treatments, and wine tasting in and around Calistoga, late night dessert wine or port and chocolates, a great night's sleep, and Judy's wonderful multi-course breakfast in the a.m.
Calistoga Hot Air Balloons & Brannan Cottage Inn Special Package
Calistoga Hot Air Balloons is the only hot air balloon company to fly from scenic Calistoga at the northern end of California’s Napa Valley on a regular basis. The flights are rural in nature, providing pristine views of the beautiful Napa Valley and offer a unique flight experience, including close up looks of such local wonders as the amazing Old Faithful Geyser (1 of the only 3 in the world), the dramatic Palisade Cliffs to the east, and Mt. St. Helena to the north. You’ll float over famous vineyards and wineries including Silver Rose, Clos Pegase, Sterling Vineyards, Provenance Vineyards, Frank Family Vineyards, Charles Krug Winery and the Napa Valley castle of 'Castello di Amorosa'. You’ll also see Château Montelena, the winery featured in the movie Bottle Shock.
Calistoga Hot Air Balloons picks you up from our Inn and launches their trips just a mile or two north of us, giving you lots of extra sleep in the morning compared to the "down Valley" balloon trips that launch from Yountville and/or Napa to the south. They also provide a full brunch after your thrilling trip.
And there's no better place to stay the night(s) before (or after) your balloon ride than Brannan Cottage Inn. To make it even easier to pair the balloon ride and your lodging with us, we've teamed with Calistoga Hot Air Balloons to offer the following savings:
Brannan Cottage Inn Special Rate: 10% off your stay when you book a hot air balloon ride with Calistoga Hot Air Balloons; just mention this offer when you book your reservation.
Calistoga Hot Air Balloon Special Rate: 10% off your Calistoga Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Napa Valley when you book a stay at Brannan Cottage Inn; just mention your stay with us when you contact them (at 707-942-5758 or www.calistogaballoons.com) to book your balloon flight.
Sweetheart's Special
Make any getaway with your sweetheart extra special when you stay with us for two weekday nights between now and March 31, 2012. In addition to a 10% discount on standard room rates, we will be delighted to include a bottle of Mumm Napa Champagne and local gourmet chocolates (for you and your “sweetie”) for an additional $50.00 beyond the discounted price of the room you select.

Friday Evening Winery Tasting Schedule
One of the traditions we’ve started at the Inn, and one that’s been a very big success with our guests, friends and other oenophiles, has been the wonderful Friday (and sometimes Thursday, Saturday or Sunday) evening presence (typically from 5:30 to 7 pm in the summer, and a little earlier during the winter) of a knowledgeable and fun representative from one of our local wineries. They typically bring several bottles of 2 or more examples of the winemaker’s art for sharing with our guests, we provide appetizers and the patio or a fire in the parlor, and we all get to know each other better, along with the wine varieties of the evening.
We're now scheduling our favorite wineries "with characters" for the 2012 season. The 2011 wineries scheduled are listed below, as an example.
