I love cooking and I've been to many cooking schools around the world but most of them have a maximum of 2 to 3 days of cooking. I wanted something more intense and classes where I can learn hands on from food preparation, menu planning and presentation, just like a professional chef. When I found Casa Lana, I was thrilled...

The things we learned were very helpful in our quest to be better and more healthy cooks in our own kitchens. We have gotten a lot of new recipes from different cuisines around the world but have also learned to make our own recipes better. this was a great experience for my daughters and myself.

We went to CasaLana in June 2011 and stayed for three nights. Lana was a great host and great chef. We enjoyed the tasty breakfast as well as the clean and comfortable room. We enjoyed the quietness right outside of our room in the evenings. Downtown Calistoga is within 5-10 minutes walking distance (or 2 minutes bicycling) from CasaLana. I... More

My wife and I loved staying with Lana, a great host and willing to help at every turn. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. The best breakfasts ever.

The bed was incredibly comfortable. Lana was a gracious host... More

It sits right beside the small Napa River and the flowing stream is pratically the only thing... More

Friends and I did the three day cooking course with Lana and stayed in her two room B&b. We enjoyed our comfortable rooms and learned plenty about cooking during our stay. Lana had good tips for nearby shopping and other sights as well. The breakfasts were excellent! The beds were super comfy.

Had a fabulous stay at CasaLana this past August. Took the 5 day cooking class and stayed upstairs in the B&B during our time there. The class was excellent. I do quite a bit of cooking, but really learned a lot from Lana and felt that she tailored her class well to the student's interests. The room was very clean... More
