Napa valley wine train

The Napa Valley Wine Train is a gourmet dining and excursion train that travels through California's famous Napa Valley wine region. The journey takes place on a collection of meticulously restored, vintage Pullman rail cars from the early 20th century. 

The experience

• A scenic journey: The train takes passengers on a 36-mile round trip from downtown Napa to the town of St. Helena and back. The route parallels State Route 29, passing through picturesque towns like Yountville, Oakville, and Rutherford.
• Gourmet cuisine: Onboard, guests are served multi-course meals featuring fresh, local ingredients. Meals are prepared in the train's own kitchen, and menus are often seasonal.
• Vintage railcars: Passengers can enjoy their meals and the scenery from beautifully restored cars featuring polished brass, Honduran mahogany paneling, and etched-glass partitions, all designed to evoke the elegance of luxury train travel from a bygone era.
• Winery visits: Many of the train's packages include stops for winery tours and tastings at renowned vineyards along the route. For example, some tours may visit historic locations like Charles Krug and V. Sattui.
• Specialty excursions: In addition to its standard dining journeys, the Wine Train offers a variety of specialized experiences, including day trips and seasonal celebrations like a New Year's Eve event.
