Description

Napa Valley Wine Train, Napa Valley, California, USA

What is the Wine Train: The Napa Valley Wine Train provides a relaxing three-hour thirty-six mile round-trip journey between the historic town of Napa through one of the world's most famous wine valleys to the quaint village of St. Helena and back.

Guests aboard the Wine Train enjoy the option of a freshly prepared lunch or dinner as they view vineyards and wineries from any of the vintage 1915-1917 Pullman Dining, Lounge, or 1952 Vista Dome rail cars which have been lavishly restored.

The Route of the Napa Valley Wine Train: The tracks upon which the Napa Valley Wine Train runs were originally built in the 1860s to bring guests to the hot spring resort town of Calistoga. While the track to Calistoga no longer exists, much of the rest of the route of the Napa Valley Wine Train is unchanged. Due to the immense influence that rail transport had over the development of the communities and wineries of the Napa Valley, there is no shortage of sights to see during the three hour journey to St. Helena. Five towns; Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena; and numerous wineries can be seen through the large picture windows on board the Wine Train.

The Napa Valley Wine Train begins its journey at the McKinstry Street Station in Napa. The train then travels north to St. Helena, where the locomotive disconnects from the north facing side of the train and reconnects to the south facing side of the train in preparation for the return journey. Currently, the Napa Valley Wine Train stops at different locations depending on the day of the week. Guests are only allowed to disembark at these locations if they have pre purchaced one of the Winery Tours. Every lunch train, the Wine Train offers both the Valley First Winery Tour (featuring Raymond Vineyards) and the Grgich Hills Winery Tour. March through November, Monday through Thursday the Wine Train offers the Ambassador Winery Tour (featuring Raymond Vineyards and ZD Wines). Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, guests are offered the Domaine Chandon tour which disembarks at Yountville during the southbound leg of the trip. Guests on the Domaine Chandon tour will be transported back to the McKinstry Street station by motor coach upon the conclusion of the tour. Also on Saturday dinner trains, guests can purchase the Evening Winery Tour (featuring Grgich Hills Estate). More Information on Winery Tours.
