See Napa Valley and Taste Wine on the Wine Train
The Napa Valley Wine Train has carried more than 2.5 million passengers since it began operating in 1989. The train runs from the historic town of Napa to St. Helena and back. It is a lovely 36 mile round-trip, and passengers relax in either vintage Pullman or Vista Dome rail cars that have been lavishly restored. Passengers wend their way through Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena, while viewing many of Napa Valley’s famous wineries through the large picture windows.
The Wine Train is a culinary experience that transports you back in time… back to a time when trains were the sophisticated and elegant way to travel. To a time when guests could explore the train as the land slipped by, relaxing comfortably in the opulent décor while they waited for dinner to be served. The dining cars were the heart of train life.
