Specials & Packages

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 tax) per night. Of course your stay includes our usual excelent 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.

EARLY RESERVATION SPECIAL

As a reward to all our guests who book early (and therefore make our lives as innkeepers easier), we're now offtering a 10% reduction in room rates across the board for reservations made more than 90 days ahead of the anticipated date of arrival. In other words, if you wish to stay with us on September 15, book the reservation no later than June 15 and mention this Special. We will deduct 10% from the applicable rack rate for the desired room(s) and day(s)/date(s) of your stay.

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.
