The Napa Valley Wine Train

The Napa Valley Wine Train, one of the few active historic passenger railroads in the United States, offers a unique experience capturing the elegance of train travel’s golden age. Guests aboard refurbished vintage Pullman rail cars, with Honduran mahogany paneling, brass accents, and etched glass partitions, are transported back in time. In 2023, the Wine Train introduced its first near-zero emission engine, “1864,” honoring the rail line’s founding year. This exceptional experience features fine dining, with multi-course meals crafted with local, seasonal ingredients by Executive Chef Rodrigo Cuadra and his team in the kitchen car. Guests choose from a variety of experiences, including the sophisticated Gourmet Express, the panoramic Vista Dome, and the immersive Tasting on the Rails. Exclusive winery tours, including the Legacy Experience and Grgich Hills Estate Tasting, along with events like Afternoon Tea x Chandon and the Grape Stomp at Grgich Hills, create memorable journeys.
