Seasonal Fare Served Onboard

As you pass rolling hills and rows of vines, indulge in a four-course lunch prepared and served onboard—personalized service, opulent furnishings, and a sophisticated ambiance complete this three-hour daytime voyage.

Customer Reviews

Well done!!!

Staff from start to finish, at entry, on the train, even the gift shop, all outgoing and helpful. Well done!!! Just an aside, we did the French Laundry on 2/10. The “experience” was great, but …. if I was offered the chance to do another FL dinner or the Wine Train (especially if the 7-course with pairings is available), I would choose the Wine Train. The food I found to be great — every course.
