Experience Napa Valley’s Most Historic Wineries

Napa Valley Wine Train’s Legacy Tour is designed for the wine aficionado and history buff who appreciates the story behind each glass. With insider access to some of Napa’s most acclaimed wineries and exclusive tastings of their iconic wines, you’ll learn as you sip while touring three historic Napa Valley vineyards.

Your touring will kick off at the iconic Napa Valley sign, where you’ll have a chance to snap some photos and enjoy a wine tasting. This picture-perfect billboard was erected in 1949 to build awareness of the area.

Next stop is Charles Krug, Napa Valley’s oldest vineyard. Experience a tasting in California’s first tasting room and let the winery’s enchanting redwood cellar sweep you off your feet while you dive into the history of the Krug family, collecting knowledge through interesting anecdotes.

Finally, you’ll finish your wine tour with V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena, located in the heart of Napa Valley. An award-winning producer of small-batch wines, you’ll love learning about the history of this vineyard, founded in 1885, and enjoying some of the region’s most favored wines before hopping on the train for dessert.

Start with a Napa Valley Breakfast, End With a Dessert

Speaking of dessert, our Legacy Tour involves a Napa Valley-style four-course meal, spread throughout your journey so you stay nourished while tasting your way through our region’s most historic wineries.

In Napa Valley, we start the day with a beautiful glass of sparkling wine—can you imagine it any other way? As you board the train at 10:15 a.m., sipping your bubbly, taking in the lush scenery, and preparing for a day of once-in-a-lifetime touring, you’ll smell the most delicious breakfast scents leaving the kitchen car and arriving right in front of you. Lemon mascarpone crêpes, roasted maple bacon, oven-basted egg with salmon roe and buttered croutons—this is no average meal, which makes sense, since the Napa Valley Wine Train Legacy Tour is no average wine tour.

After breakfast, you’ll tour your first winery, then when you board the train once again, you’ll experience your next course. Three wineries, four delicious courses created carefully by our on-board chef. It’s a day that wine and food lovers’ dreams are made of.

Is the Napa Valley Wine Train Legacy Tour the One for Me?

Still deciding if the Legacy Tour is the one that will deliver the best experience based on your interests? If you’re someone who doesn’t just love tasting wine, but really appreciates the story behind the grape.
