This picturesque area is nestled between two mountain ranges: the Mayacamas Mountains to the west (bordering Sonoma County) and the Vaca Mountains to the east (adjacent to Solano County). The region is part of the wider California Bay Area.

Napa, on the other hand, is simply the largest of the five towns located within Napa Valley. While many visitors use the terms interchangeably, Napa is just one municipality within the broader Napa Valley region.

Napa Valley is a stunning region known for its picturesque vineyards, world-class wines, and charming small towns. Here’s what you can expect when visiting:

Gourmet dining: Napa Valley is home to a variety of restaurants, from Michelin-starred establishments to cozy bistros. Indulge in farm-to-table dining and local hyper-fresh ingredients.

Outdoor activities: Beyond wine, enjoy activities including hot air balloon rides, hiking, biking through the vineyards, and much more.

Cultural experiences: Explore local art galleries, museums, and events like festivals or farmers’ markets that showcase the region’s culture.

Charming towns: Visit towns like Napa, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga, each with its own unique vibe, shops, and attractions.

Friendly atmosphere: Expect a welcoming and laid-back vibe. Many wineries and restaurants are eager to share their passion for the region.

Yes, The Napa Valley Wine Train accommodates service animals.

While we do not discourage guests with service animals from coming on the train, guests should be aware of the following factors:

1. The motion of the train, and the unnatural, high-pitched metallic sounds that the Train makes as it goes over joints in the tracks may make some animals very uncomfortable.
2. The entire Train is only about 8 feet across, and a walkway runs through it. This means that service animals will always be within about 3 feet of a frequently used walkway. Animals not accustomed to heavy and frequent foot traffic may be very uncomfortable. Service animals must not sit or lay down in a walkway as this presents a hazard to other guests and the animal.
3. Napa Valley Wine Train staff have been trained not to touch the service animal, but other customers may not understand the role of a service animal and may want to touch the service animal.
4. The owner of the service animal must provide all of the care that the service animal requires. Any food or water which the animal requires, and appropriate containers for serving food and water to the animal, should be provided by the owner. Sanitary toilet arrangements must also be made by the owner of the animal, and, in the interest of the health and safety of our guests, the staff of the train will not handle or dispose of animal droppings or urine for the owner.

Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your service animal.

The Wine Train is near several airports, including San Francisco International Airport, Oakland International Airport, and Sacramento International Airport. Regional airports Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport and Napa County Airport are also a short distance away. Visit our getting here page for more travel information.
