Customer Reviews
Superb Afternoon in the Napa Wine Country
The Napa Valley Wine Train was a great experience. We selected the Afternoon Tea experience to celebrate a birthday. The train was very comfortable, the tea and food were awesome, and the service was excellent. Of course, the scenery throughout the trip was beautiful. Highly recommend the Wine Train for a special afternoon through the wine country.

Afternoon Tea
The Napa Wine Train was absolutely amazing. We rode the afternoon tea ride. And it was the best ever.
Exceeded Expectations
Went on the afternoon tea booking in the gorgeously decorated car sponsored by Chandon–the Afternoon Tea is the only car with this special decor. My mom and son were so surprised at the quality of the food and the incredible service by Michell and Jose on board. We had Aperol Spritzes when we sat down and we ordered additional glasses of champagne for the sandwich course. There was so much food and it was delicious! The out and back was entirely enjoyable, and I have been to Napa about 2-3x per year for many years but have never even thought to ride this train. Even if you are a regular at Napa, this is a truly fun experience. This was the perfect thing to do with my mom who walks with a walker. Loved it, and would come back again for another experience with my husband!

We wanted to celebrate our Wedding anniversary in a significantly different way so it was memorable. The Napa Valley Wine Train Afternoon Tea was perfect. The trip was just far enough from our home but not too far to drive — a little over an hour away. Overall the experience was was perfect for us.
