Wine Education Dinner

Enjoy a special paired wine and food menu in our Vista Dome car, and pick up tidbits of wine knowledge from our experts. Enjoy the exceptional view of the valley from the elevated Vista Dome Car during your evening of culinary adventure and learning.

Each dinner has a theme: varietal, appellation, or a visit by a celebrity guest wine maker.

Varietal Theme - Discover what makes a varietal unique. Wine Director, Ryan Graham explains a selected varietal's history, production methods, characteristic flavors and food pairing possibilities.

Appellation Theme - Where grapes are grown creates a signature flavor in the wine we drink. Elevation, soil type, regional farming practices, and weather all play special roles in the flavor of the final product. Learn how these elements combine to make each wine unique by drinking it!

Celebrity Wine Maker - If you know wine, you've probably heard of them. Well, now you can meet them, taste their wine, and enjoy food that we think gives their wine even more star power. Bottle signing, anyone?
