The Venue Vixens

Triple S Ranch, Calistoga

We “Vixens” get very excited when we happen upon a little known, secret venue… especially one that is in Napa County – Triple S Ranch. Unfortunately, it’s such an awesome spot that it will not remain a secret for long!

Located on an uphill winding country road, just a few miles from charming downtown Calistoga (the north end of Napa Valley,) sits this wondrous venue. Napa Valley has more to offer than just vineyards… there are beautiful valleys, oak studded hillsides, vistas and former ranch properties. Triple S Ranch has a varied rich history dating back to the 1860’s when the unique (current) reception space was a former dairy barn. Through the decades that dairy barn became a winery and then a restaurant and road house. Such a colorful life! The present owner, Derek Webb world traveler and collector of cool architectural pieces, has transformed the building into a great space to hold a dinner function, hang out at an impressive bar, snuggle by a large fireplace, or enjoy a fun dance party. We appreciated the work and craftsmanship he has done with beautiful door/shutter treatment on the front of the barn; those awesome shutters are from a property in Argentina! The finished interior wood floors, open beamed ceiling, multi-paned windows on three sides, relaxing deck, creekside patio, and historical detail touches are evident everywhere.
