Napa Valley Wine Train Vista Dome Dinner Car

I received a dinner on the Napa Valley Wine Train as a birthday gift from my children, and I couldn’t wait to experience it. We just got back, and I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this special treat. The train has a beautiful vintage feel with old-style charm. The service from start to finish was excellent. The food was really good. We had the four-course meal, and every dish was delicious. The only small downside was that it was too dark to see the scenery outside the windows. Next time, we will book a lunch ride so we can enjoy the views. I highly recommend this experience.

Train ride was so fun. We had the three course meal. It was excellent! Dessert was fabulous as well. We rode in the car with the large glass windows. Recommend upgrading to that car. Service was really good too.

We had a really great time last 3/26/22..on the Murder Mystery Train everyone was dressed up like thec20s Gansters era the Dinnerf was Amazing we just really enjoyed the whole event...we Highly recommend it.

Please read my review on Yelp, believe me not worth $1,350.00 for 4 adults food was absolutely horrible. Unprofessional staff, food had no flavor, not any one of the courses was good. There’s so many outstanding restaurants in Napa don’t waste your money. Paula Buehler 09/26/21

We did the 6:30 pm evening dinner dome and The food was delicious and service was good except we kept asking for them to turn down the AC as it was FREEZING on-board. We asked them again to turn it down but to no avail. As the evening wore on people starting putting on coats and pulling hoodies over their heads. Finally they turned it off, but only for a while and turned it on full blast again. It was so cold that it ruined the evening. They would turn it off for a short time and then it would come back on with a vengeance. It seems there was no temperature adjustment. Only off or freezing cold.

My wife had always wanted to take the Napa Valley train ride, but it needs to be reserved in advance of your trip to Napa Valley. Finally, on this visit we reserved the Dome Dinner Car for about $230 each about a month before our vacation. My wife was very satisfied with the train ride, but the gourmet food was disappointing. A bottle of the Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon was $128. I would recommend taking your own wine and paying the corkage fee. The ride back was mostly in the dark. Very good service. No problem with parking.

I am currently on the rain, bored to tears. The windows are so dirty you cannot take pics or see very well. Food was pretty good so it gets the two stars for that. You go one direction, sit for 40 minutes and then head back in the dark. Rough riding. Huge disappointment. No music, no info and you can’t see or take pics because windows are so bad.

I couldn't be happier after our dinner at Vista Dome restaurant. Place, food and experience was amazing. When you think of a restaurant you Will never say what you are about to experience there. It was like you are in a gourmet restaurant. Friendly and professional staff (specially Amanda, that is probably a server that I could hire back in Barcelona...people with her enthousiasm is difficult tonfind in our job) and outstanding food. It has been an amazing choice!!

we would have done the train with a tour of a vineyard instead of just the train ride. We did enjoy the food and the Dome Dinner car was nice, however the views when we went to the club car were much better for some reason. It's a great excursion to do and the food was great. A must do when you head to Napa.
