Wine and Dine with the Napa Valley Wine Train

We did the wine train for my wife's birthday and we both loved our experience! The food was gourmet and excellent. the staff was so engaging and fun and gave lots of great details about the different wineries and the area that we went through. We started with a late breakfast of eggs benedict over round hash browns and a wonderful little salad. Maria, our train host, gave us a lot of unique facts about the places we were seeing out the window as we ate our brunch. We then stopped at the Napa Valley Sign and Jorge explained the different wines we were having during the wine tasting. Then we sat down for lunch as we watched the valley go by. Both the vegetarian lunch option my wife had as well as my pork tenderloin were beyond tasty. The two vineyards we went to were unique and the tastings were fun! Finally, as we went back down the valley we were served a rich dessert and had a dance lesson from Jorge. This experience was top notch! It is a six hour experience that is well worth the money. Additionally we have nothing but good things to say about the staff as Maria and Jorge shined and were very lovely!

I loved being able to visit this venue again after several years (post covid). The ambiance is nice. The food was delicious 😋. Moving to the dessert car after lunch was a nice twist, I don't remember doing that in previous years. The sun was out, so it was a beautiful ride! It's great to get your picture taken as you board the train & when you get back, the digital is ready & you can buy the package, which makes for a wonderful keepsake. The gift store is really nice as well to buy some gifts & wine 🍷. If you're looking for a really nice outing to do in Napa with friends or your significant other, this is one you must do while visiting Napa!

My husband and I just took the Napa Train with the Vista Dome Lunch. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend it to others. First, the staff was knowledgeable and we learned a great deal on our trip about the various wineries. Tammy gave us a lot of her time and was a wealth of information. Next, the food choices were great. My husband and I ordered different courses and both were delicious! We left very full and totally satisfied!

Generally a good experience. Not really a good "value", but a unique experience. Probably wouldn't do it again, but would recommend to friends to do once. The views were great even in the rain. For the express lunch (late seating), we got a glass of sparkling wine to start, then could order drinks. After a while we got some appetizers. About halfway through, we moved to the dining car for the 3 course lunch. Had a good variety of entree options: meat, fish, vegetarian, etc. A bit disappointed in the soup namely because the croutons had been added early and were soggy lumps by the time it was served. The lava cake desert was great (other options were sorbet or creme brulee). Note that wine is an added cost for the express lunch. You can buy wine in the store and pay a corking fee or pay a higher price for wine on the train. I was frustrated that some options are not available to individuals but only groups of 2 or more.

What an amazing experience. Kinda pricey, but it comes with food. I really enjoyed my time on the train. The service and food were absolutely fantastic.
