When in Napa be sure to ride the rails. It is well worth it. We had a great day, great food, excellent service. Pay a little extra for the vista dome car, its a little more personal and quite, (know one walking past you). This memory will last a life time.

We took the lunch train. They offer a wide variety of trips (some include touring one of the vineyards). The train cars are in beautiful condition and well staffed so the passengers feel pampered. Huge selection of wines and a gourmet meal while enjoying the sights of wine country. There are many options in Napa for touring the vineyards so... More

Took the Napa Wine Train with my with wife and a cople from the Bay Area. Very relaxing trip and plenty of time to catch up on life. We sat in the Vista Dome car which is the only way to go. The salmon for lunch was moist and tender. O one had a complaint about the meal at all.... More

A three hour ride through the vineyards. Do the observation car and have either lunch or dinner. Food was fabulous and the staff was very informative about the region and the different wineries for tasting.

We finally got on the Wine train after 25 years of coming here. We choose the Dome car for lunch and we were not disapointed. They have a huge reception area where they explain everything ahead of time. Boarding was quick and easy. Upon sitting we were greeted right away by our server. You get a complimentary glass of Champagne... More

We had a surprise birthday lunch in the glass dome carriage. Excellent is all I can say, staff service, and food were excellent. Such a relaxed way to spend a special moment. It was good to see the valley in a snapshot, then return the next day to the places we had seen along the way. Can recommend it as... More

The wine train is a very typical tourist activity to do in Napa. Although I would recommend it for a single experience I would not do it again. With so many top notch dining and drinking experiences to be had in this beautiful area why waste your time on a train with second rate food and wine form the winery... More
