 Calistoga
Mineral Water Calistoga is the home of world famous
Calistoga Mineral Water which comes from a source deep in
the earth below Calistoga, a historic town of 1,800 people in
verdant Napa Valley, California. For hundreds of years the Wappo
Indians traveled to the source to soak in the hot mineral pools.
The Wappo tribe called the region "Tu-la-halusi...land
of health-giving springs." They enjoyed the water mixed
with the juice of fruit and berries that grew so abundantly
in the valley. By the time of the California gold rush, an entrepreneur
named Sam Brannan had developed Calistoga into a resort, forever
making "Calistoga" synonymous with good health. The
town got its name, the story goes, when Brannan claimed he would
make the town the Saratoga of California; only it came out "the
Calistoga of Sarifornia."
Giuseppe Musante owned a soda fountain and candy store in Calistoga
called The Railway Exchange where he sold ice cream, sodas,
phosphates and other delicacies. In 1920, while drilling for
a cold water well at The Railway Exchange, Musante tapped into
a hot water geyser that blew him off his scaffold and burned
him so badly he had to be hospitalized. Guiseppe had discovered
the Calistoga geyser.
Musante sold the mineral water from the geyser as well as a
number of soft drinks out of his soda fountain until 1924, when
he set up a bottling line and began selling Calistoga Sparkling
Mineral Water.
In 1980 the company was sold to the Perrier Group of America,
the parent of Great Spring Waters of America. Under the new
Perrier ownership, the Calistoga Mineral Water Company advanced
to the next step and introduced flavored Calistoga Sparkling
Water in 1983. In 1987 Calistoga Sparkling Mineral Water and
fruit juice was brought to consumers who were ready for these
all natural beverages. In 1990, Calistoga introduced a line
of mountain spring water products, and in 1995, introduced home
and office delivery service.
Sales of Calistoga natural beverages exceeded all expectations
and continued to do so much to the amazement of the more traditional
beverage manufacturers. The age of new age beverages was sweeping
the country, and the Calistoga Mineral Water Company and the
Perrier Group were at the forefront of this exciting new beverage
category. In 1992, Nestle purchased the Perrier Group. Calistoga
remains the leading brand in the western United States, and
will continue to innovate and grow with products of superior
quality into the new century.
A Unique Mineral Water Source Calistoga's geothermal source
is a uniquely important factor in safeguarding water quality.
Natural forces heat the mineral water to the boiling point;
to be bottled it must be cooled to 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Geothermal rock strata give Calistoga its own mineral base.
Not only does Calistoga mineral water help restore a fluid base,
but its minerals add a distinctive, refreshing taste.
Calistoga's quality is guarded through its protected source,
sophisticated monitoring, adherence to government regulations
and durable packaging
