Napa Valley Wine Train with Gourmet Lunch

If you want to travel back in time to experience what train travel was like in the gilded age then this tour is worth it. The train has been meticulously restored to reflect that era and a 5 star gourmet lunch is served while slowly traversing a 36 mile route through lush vineyards. It was a wonderful addition to our stay in Napa Valley and I would not hesitate recommend it.

This was a very enjoyable train ride but the cost range of wines available was too heavily weighted towards the high end.

While i thought this was great, and the food amazing I was disappointed as I thought we would be getting off the train for a winey visit.

Pleasant station, a comfortable train, and perfectly acceptable cuisine......dramatically compromised by the lack of a guide (or narration of any type); IMO, borderline inexcusable for a Tour of this cost. However, I would NOT dissuade anyone from taking the trip; bye and large, my wife and I were glad we did so.

From arrival at the waiting area to disembarking, this tour was fantastic. Gourmet food, caring service, and a comfortable ride made for one of the best California excursions I've ever had (and I've lived in California 57 years)!

The trip was little long and the wines on sale were mostly $40 and up, but overall a very nice experience.

My friend and I rode the Wine Train for the luncheon ride. We hade a wonderful experience. We were seated at a comfortable table by the window while treated to a delicious lunch. The service was excellent and the view was beautiful, as the train took us from Nspa to St. Helena and back. After we finished our lunch we moved to the lounge car to enjoy dessert, coffee and more wine if you desired. It was a fabulous day in Napa.

We were in Napa on a family vacation with our adult children. The wine train was a lovely and a great way to see the Napa country side. The food was delicious and we decided to bring our own wine on the train and pay the $20.00 uncorking fee.

Very organized. The ride itself was a good introduction to the Napa Valley but you missed a golden opportunity to tell the passengers about the wine industry, either through your guides or prerecorded tapes. There was virtually no information from the staff along the entire route. The food was excellent. Give your passengers more than just food.

Train ride was accurate to its description with lots of vineyard views. Website describes gourmet lunch, but what you really received was a gourmet dinner. Food was excellent. Personally, the only recommendation would be to have train ride (at least in one direction) narrated. I would consider doing ride again.
