… And the Wine Is Bottled Poetry
Napa Valley is known the world over as a wine-growing region producing prestigious bottles, from sumptuous cabernet sauvignon to finely-balanced chardonnay. But, did you know — there are 16 sub-appellations within Napa Valley? Five of which the Wine Train travels through on every journey — Yountville, St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, and Oak Knoll.
With over 400 wineries gracing the Napa region, a significant majority of which are family-owned, Napa Valley stands as a testament to its deep-rooted winemaking heritage. Our wine collection showcases an assortment of both prominent and boutique producers; however, our primary emphasis remains on those wineries that have been nurtured and guided by family traditions. We’ve curated offerings from the Valley, mainly sourcing them from wineries found on our route. As you indulge in a sensory journey onboard, you’ll also catch glimpses of these vineyards just beyond your window.
