Napa Valley Wine Train Description:
The Napa Valley Wine Train is Napa's most unique restaurant. Guests choose to dine in one of three on board restaurants while they travel up and down the Napa Valley in authentically restored Pullman rail cars. Depending on the restaurant, meals can be prepurchased, or purchased a la carte. All meals are prepared on board using fresh ingredients. Winery tour packages are also available, and there is an onboard wine tasting bar.
It's politically incorrect in the company of some Napa winemakers even to mention the Wine Train. Don't be so jaded. Pack your dinner jacket, pose for a snapshot and climb aboard for a leisurely, scenic, eat-drink-and-ride adventure in a 1915 railcar. Insiders choose the second seating for dinner. Meanwhile, from a gold fringe swivel chair in the polished wood and curtained lounge car, sip a glass of wine and nibble off an appetizer plate of assorted meats and cheeses as vineyards roll by. Take a wobbly walk to catch the caboose's breeze, stopping in the Wine Car for a $10 sampling poured by knowledgeable staff. Dinner moves to a formal dining car. Efficient servers bring salad, sorbet and an entrée choice, perhaps beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce, roast chicken spiced with coriander, or the seafood special. The food's about on par with the wedding banquet genre and feels about as celebratory, surrounded by the train's glamour. Tote your own wine or buy well-priced bottles on board or at the station. By dessert, you'll have succumbed to the rail's hypnotic rhythms. Lunch guarantees roundtrip vineyard views by daylight.
