You can’t come to downtown Napa without seeing or hearing the Napa Valley Wine Train. This marvelous train is an amazing collection of vintage rolling stock, an outstanding restaurant, a great wine shop and wine bar, and the quintessential Napa experience.

More than just your historic dinner train, the Napa Valley Wine Train offers a number of experiences to fit the tastes and desires of today’s traveler.

Typically with 9 to 10 cars on the main consist, the Wine Train makes up to two trips a day to St. Helena and back, for lunch and (date-depending) dinner. The trip is three hours and includes a gourmet meal that will surprise even the most discerning foodie. You can choose the traditional rail experience of repose in the lounge car for half the journey and dinner in the dining car for the other half. Or book the Vista Dome where you don’t change seats during the journey, but can roam the rest of the train at will (if you can pull yourself away from your table).
