It goes right along the main road from Napa all the way up to St Helena but at about 15mph so you can enjoy all kinds of beautiful sights, especially from the train decks outside. Plus, the food we had with the Gourmet Express package was absolutely delicious!

This was our first time aboard the train -we boarded on May 2nd with our friends for the lunch trip. All the train cars are beautifully restored, and the food and service outstanding. We had lunch in one of the dining cars, and our server cheerfully and knowledgably pointed out many interesting things along the route. All of us were... More

We rode the Napa Wine Train as guests in the gourmet car for lunch. The service was wonderful and the food was elegant, delicious and tastefully presented. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the train ride as well as fine wines. Our waitress/tour guide was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the area. It was a pleasant experience from start... More

This attraction has such potential. The ride is wonderful, guide knowledgable, dessert excellent and I highly recommend you look at the photographs they take of you after your trip. They put together an excellent package for purchase and the pics are high quality. Reasons this does not get an excellent rating are: The wine served was average (our day it... More

My husband and I chose the Vista Dome for our trip on the wine train. The Vista Dome is the most expensive option. From beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. The Vista Dome is the only car that is totally private. It is beautiful and elegant. (The rest of the train is beautiful, also, and we did have... More

My wife and I just took the Napa Valley Wine Train for lunch on May 20, 2013. We did the Grgich Hills Winery tour along with lunch on the train. This is a leisurely way to see NAPA valley in the comfort of an airconditioned dining car, tour an incredibly historic winery, and have a nice afternoon. Lunch was very... More

Not super impressed with this attraction...especially for the money. First, we started off on the wrong foot by getting a menu that didn't match what was online. We thought we were on the BBQ train and the only BBQ dish they had was ribs, which wasn't lip smakin' good. Plus they offer a "complimentary" glass of wine at the beginning... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us. It’s disappointing to hear that you were not impressed with our Silverado Car or it’s menu. We changed up the menu this year and I must have not changed it online fast enough. I apologize. Since reading your review, I have double checked our website to ensure that the online menu... More

Beginning with the Ferry ride from San Francisco to Vallejo; then the shuttle ride to Napa (with an excellent guide who made that part of the trip pass so quickly); to the actual Wine Train tour, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed that Friday! What a special day! We were seated with a young couple who were delightful... More
