Napa Valley Wine Train
The Napa Valley Wine Train is a leisurely 3-hour journey through the beautiful wine country of Napa Valley in meticulously restored vintage rail cars. Not just a train ride, but a culinary experience as well.
The Napa Valley Wine Train is one of the most unique and best Napa restaurants. Choose from an excellent seasonal menu, and then enjoy the dish that was prepared to your specifications in our specially designed kitchen cars. Locally famous Executive Chef, Kelly Macdonald uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients, earth friendly produce, humanely raised meats, and line caught or responsibly farmed fish.
Cuisine:
The Vista Dome, Gourmet Express and Silverado Grill each have their own kitchen and specific menu. Award-winning Executive Chef, Kelly Macdonald uses only the freshest seasonal ingredients, earth friendly produce, humanely raised meats and line caught fish. Each meal is cooked to order aboard the train. Some of the side dishes and desserts are prepared in the Napa Valley Wine Train’s Culinary Arts Center and finished onboard during the three hour excursions. Even the sorbets are homemade! Special selections are offered to meet your specific dietary needs.
The Wine:
At The Napa Valley Wine Train, we strive to offer our guests the finest selection of boutique wines available today. We utilize our contacts and relationships with the best local winemakers, so that we can offer you the finest small-production wines Napa Valley has to offer. Many of these wines are virtually unavailable outside of the Napa Valley, and are brought to us and poured for us by the winemakers themselves. It is our great pleasure to be able to share them with you.
What is the Wine Train:
The Napa Valley Wine Train provides a relaxing three hour journey along the thirty six mile round-trip 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 the vineyards and wineries from any of the vintage 1915-1917 Pullman Dining, Lounge or the 1947 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 1860's 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. Depending on the day of the week, the Napa Valley Wine Train makes two stops. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, guests who have purchased the Domaine Chandon Tour will disembark 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. On weekdays (Monday through Friday), guests who have purchased the Grgich Hills Tour will disembark at Grgich Hills Winery on the northbound leg of the trip, and be picked up by the Wine Train as the train travels southbound.
