Very unique experience! The staff was very kind and helpful. The food was excellent and beautifully plated. The station had a lovely gift shop and clean restrooms, as well as comfortable couches and high top tables at which to sit and wait. One note about the train ride experience itself was that the tables were arranged in a booth like manner. The tables weren't movable, and there was not a lot of space for larger people to be comfortable. We noticed quite a few larger folks who were really crammed and uncomfortable. But overall, the entire experience was well done and enjoyable. The train ride itself was about 2 hours, and we enjoyed a lovely dinner. There was a small menu with several choices as well a small variety of drink options including wine, beer, a few spirits, soda, and water.

The sunset dome ride was BEAUTIFUL, it just felt a little short unfortunately. The food was amazing! Each plate was such a delicious journey. Highly recommend. Maybe do one of the longer rides. By the time we finished eating, there was only like 20 min left.

This is a must do when you're in Napa, the train was clean and looks beautiful on the in side. The food choices are very good, I had the beef steak 😋 was delicious but I forgot to get a picture 📸 I did get the delicious dessert picture. Had a fantastic time with Friends food and wine, they were so nice they even surprised the bride to be with an extra treat. The staff was fantastic and friendly.

The wine train was amazing! We took the 4-hour lunch and tour package. Everything started on time, staff were wonderful. We bought a bottle for the ride in the gift store and had some wine while waiting to board. We took a cute picture then we're seated in a lovely, well dressed dining car. There were great lunch options and the food was tasty. The winery tour was fabulous. This is a napa must.

My best friends and I had THE BEST time on the wine train. We sat in the dome, and had a darling waiter, Rick. His knowledge, patience, and conversation was delightful-the hospitality was honestly, one of the best parts. We explored all the train cars as recommended, enjoyed the views of the wineries, and loved the delicious food. We were unsure how people could have negative reviews, because our food experience was top-notch. If you are on the fence about taking the wine train, this is your sign, DO IT.

Q & A

Yes, we recognize that many people have special wines they would like to have for their special occasion. The Napa Valley Wine Train charges a corkage fee of $20.00 per 750ml bottle and $30 for a magnum-sized bottle. If you bring one bottle of wine on board and buy a bottle on board, we’ll waive the corkage for the bottle brought on. At the Napa Valley Wine Train, we have a Wine Shop with almost 500 wines available for purchase and we have an extensive onboard wine list with approximately 40 wines.

Children are always welcome, and some packages have special rates. Caution is recommended to parents of toddlers who might have a difficult time ‘relaxing’ for three hours. Due to the general movement of the train or the rare potential for a sudden stop, children cannot walk about the cars unattended. Diaper changing is not permitted in the railcars due to food service and the bathrooms are somewhat small. McKinstry Street Station has a diaper changing station in the restroom. Due to safety issues, strollers and carriers are not permitted on board, but booster seats are available.

Most Train tours and packages typically take three to six hours.

The Gourmet Express, Vista Dome cars, the Vintage Rail Car 1052 and 1013 all have their own kitchen and specific menu. Award-winning Executive Chef Donald Young and his culinary staff do not cook each meal until it is ordered. Some of the side dishes and desserts are prepared in the Napa Valley Wine Train’s Culinary Arts Center and ‘finish’ cooked or baked on board during the three to six hour excursions. Even the sorbets are made by us!

very day, we serve a variety of guests with different dietary restrictions and food allergies. All of our menu choices are prepared fresh and made to order on board the Train, but some advance notice helps handle special menu requests.Rest assured, we handle hundreds of allergies weekly with ease. You’re in good hands.

We encourage our guests to dress in layers as well as wear comfortable shoes since some walking is necessary, especially during the tasting portion of your experience. We encourage our guests to dress for the occasion, though we do not have an enforced dress code. Dinner can be dressier; some guests prefer cocktail party attire. Jackets are suggested on cool nights, but not required. It is always a good idea to bring an extra layer to make sure you are warm enough on board.

Per state law, animals are not allowed on board the Napa Valley Wine Train, with the exception of service animals.
