Napa Valley Wine Train met culinaire lunch
Beschrijving
Stap terug in de tijd aan boord van de Gourmet Express, waar elegante details zoals glimmend zilverwerk, kristalhelder glaswerk, geëtste glazen scheidingswanden, rijke mahoniehouten lambrisering en warme natuurlijke houttinten het podium vormen voor een klassieke raildinerervaring. Deze prachtig gerestaureerde trein weerspiegelt de tijdloze Napa Valley Wine Train traditie die begon met zijn eerste reizen in 1989. Geniet van een ontspannen drie uur durende dagtocht op de terugreis van Downtown Napa naar St. Helena. Geniet onderweg van een ontspannen lunch met drie heerlijke gangen, zorgvuldig geserveerd aan boord van een antieke Pullman-eetwagen uit 1915. Deze ervaring is perfect voor gasten die op zoek zijn naar een langzamer tempo, historische charme en een memorabele Napa Valley dinerreis.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Reis door het weelderige platteland van Napa Valley en laat je terugvoeren in de tijd. Terug naar de romantiek en luxe van de gouden eeuw van treinreizen van begin 1900, toen gasten de treinen buiten hun privévertrekken verkenden. Terug naar een tijd waarin een reis bedoeld was om van begin tot eind van te genieten. Kies de Gourmet Express voor de lunch, wanneer de zon fel en hoog aan de hemel staat. Of voor iets nog romantischer, kom aan boord voor een avonddiner. In het voorjaar en de zomer betekent de lange, warme Californische schemering dat wanneer u uw wijntreinreis maakt, de wijngaarden van Napa Valley het grootste deel van de weg baden in prachtig, gouden uur zonlicht, met de mogelijkheid om een aantal spectaculaire Napa-zonsondergangen te zien. In de herfst en de winter, wanneer de trein na zonsondergang vertrekt, ervaart u de romantiek en het avontuur van een antieke trein die door de donkere, met sterren verlichte Napa Valley-nacht rijdt.

Most of the experience was great overall because it is unique, staff were friendly, kind, helpful, and it is definitely cute and aesthetically pleasing. In my opinion it is overpriced. For lunch we order the surf and turf but it was the portion size of something a toddler would have eaten and still would have been hungry...and for the amount of money that was paid for the ticket, it was disappointing. We were also disappointed with the views. It seemed like most of the trip were sites of the slums of Napa. We saw lots of trailers, homeless laying about, trash cans and graffiti. If you take a drive down St. Helena highway, you get the same views of the wineries.The price would have been more justifiable if some wine or a small tasting was included. After all, it is a "wine train". They did provide one champagne flute of a sweet sparkling wine but, all other wine was for purchase. Lastly, if your table attendant recommends a wine, be sure to look at the menu or ask how much because it may be $30 a glass and you won't know until the bill comes. All in all, for almost $400 a ticket, it was not worth it. If I had to accurately value the experience, I would say it was only worth $275 at most.

We also appreciate your candid comments regarding the perceived value, culinary portions, and overall expectations for the journey.

One of our best outings in Napa. The service was incredible. Wonderful attentive staff, relaxing enjoyable ride, and excellent meals. Initially I thought it was pricey however the experience justified the cost. Great job Jamie and others for an outstanding trip. The train travels down through Napa Valley and back with commentary on the surrounding wineries in the area.

Nice overall experience with great views of vineyards and great food. Only downside is that food, train ticket, and gratuity are all included in total price. If you don’t ask about this you will end up tipping twice. Wine train should disclose this.
Good afternoon, Thank you for choosing the Wine Train and sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time in our care. I will be sharing your comments in regard to gratuity to the attention of our onboard management team. Our guests' comments are excellent tools for us to grow and improve customer satisfaction.

Our experience on the Napa Wine Train was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The entire staff made the day unforgettable, but Nick and Sandy truly stood out. Sandy was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout the trip. Nick brought the energy and fun — amazing service, hilarious personality, epic dance moves, and legendary air guitar skills during the open-air car dance party at the end! The food was absolutely stellar — every course was delicious and beautifully prepared. Combined with the wine, scenery, atmosphere, and entertainment, the whole experience felt first class from beginning to end. You can tell the staff truly care about making the experience special for everyone on board. If you’re thinking about doing the Napa Wine Train, do it — we had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and our friends celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful trip. Dressing up, visiting the Grgich Hills winery. The train was great and the food delicious. Excellent way to celebrate.
Good Morning, Thank you for celebrating such remarkable milestones aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train. We’re honored you chose to spend both your 50th and 45th wedding anniversaries with us, and we’re so pleased the Grgich Hills experience, dining, and overall journey helped create a memorable celebration for your group. We truly appreciate you joining us and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Respectfully, Ragina Garcia Director of Customer Service Napa Valley Wine Train
When I hired the tour I knew what it was about for that reason I was not surprised. It met my expectations, as we made a 3-hour train ride through cellars, in an incredibly well maintained and presented wagon, the welcome glass of foamer, a step lunch and with 4 wine options to taste. The only recommendation I would make, which is perhaps impossible to realize, is that being the same round trip, it would be good if you did not see the same thing on both trips, it would involve the train turning.
Buenos días, Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia a bordo del Napa Valley Wine Train. Nos alegra saber que el recorrido, la experiencia gastronómica y la selección de vinos cumplieron con sus expectativas, y que disfrutó del encanto histórico y la presentación del tren. También agradecemos mucho su sugerencia sobre el recorrido de ida y vuelta. Entendemos perfectamente su punto de vista y valoramos que se haya tomado el tiempo de compartirlo con nosotros. Gracias nuevamente por visitarnos durante su estadía en Napa Valley. Esperamos tener el placer de recibirlos nuevamente en el futuro. Respetuosamente, Ragina Garcia Director of Customer Service Napa Valley Wine Train
It was a cool experience. The waitresses were especially awesome. It would be better if a wine tasting from one of the wineries the train passes was included on the journey- even if it were one red and one white.
Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your Napa Valley Wine Train Gourmet Express experience. We appreciate your perspective and understand the onboard wine selections and culinary experience did not fully align with the expectations you had for your visit. The Gourmet Express experience is designed as our original classic dining journey through Napa Valley, where wine is available for purchase rather than included as part of the package itself. For guests looking for a more wine-focused experience, we do offer several other Wine Train experiences such as Legacy, Grgich Hills, and Tasting on the Rails, which include expanded tasting opportunities and winery experiences that may be a better fit for a future visit. We truly appreciate you choosing to ride with us and thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Respectfully, Ragina Garcia Director of Customer Service Napa Valley Wine Train
We went to celebrate our anniversary and both the ladies at check-in and our server acknowledged it. Food was great. Order the cheese plate upon booking (it's cheaper); it gets the experience started along with your welcome sparkling wine. Drink selection (alcohol and non-alcohol) was great. I think 3hrs on the train was sufficient. I didn't expect the train to rock as much as it did. I was expecting a smoother ride, but I also have never ridden a train before. The music was nice. The crowd was spaced evenly throughout the cars (even for a Monday). Service was great and welcoming. The train was clean including the bathroom. You were able to explore a few other cars after lunch service which was nice to see the other cabin options. This experience is great for a celebration, but try to catch a deal/promo/discount as the price is pretty expensive. You get a free digital photo before stepping onto the train, but be ready as it is only a one-click shot. Cafe has coffee, tea and snacks (no espresso). There a couple backdrops to take photos at while you wait to board. The gift shop has a great selection of wine. They are open when you return to the station, but the Cafe is not. It was a nice experience, but due to the price, I don't think I would do it again.
Good Morning, Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with us and for taking the time to share such a detailed review.
