Moonlight Escape
Escape from the pressures of everyday life to the moonlit vineyards of Napa Valley.
The only thing more romantic than a dinner for two in a private booth in the Napa Valley Wine Train's 1952 glass domed Vista Dome, is making the journey under the light of the moon.
Savor Executive Chef Kelly Macdonald's specially crafted dishes after your welcome glass of sparkling wine. Then relax and enjoy the exceptional nocturnal view of the Napa Valley, two glasses of house wine, and the adventure of a train traveling through the night over the silver vineyards.
*A delightfully intimate and romantic environment such as this, lends itself to a more adult experience. Children are welcome (who doesn't love to look at the moon?) but, there is no discount for the little ones and fussy children might need to retire to another rail car temporarily, in order to maintain the serenity of the evening.
