Train package on diablovalleyca.com. Reserving the vacation via diablovalleyca.com will earn all travelers a special rate on select Napa Valley Wine

The three Wine
Train lunch packages available for the special rate are:
The Gourmet Express Package -
Experience vintage train travel as it was in the early 1900s when dedicated dining and lounge cars were a staple on long distance train journeys. The Wine Train's expertly refurbished 1915-1917 Pullman Cars create an atmosphere ideal for relaxation and enjoyment.
Experience two different types of railcar - a 1915 or 1917 Pullman dining car and a 1915 Pullman lounge car.
The Grgich Hills Winery Tour - On the Wine Train's longest running winery trip, learn about Grgich Hills Estate's founder and how he played a part in putting Napa Valley on the map while sampling their organic, 100% estate grown wines. Following your choice of soup or salad and entree in a dining car, the Wine
Train will stop in front of Grgich Hills Estate for you to step off and begin your tour. On its southbound journey, the
Train will stop again for you to re-board and relax in one of our 1915 Pullman lounge cars for the remainder of the journey, enjoying your chosen dessert and coffee as you return to the Wine
Train Station.
The Valley First Winery Tour - Make the most of the light by departing the Station before the
Train and exploring the fun and whimsical Raymond Vineyards prior to lunch on board. View the vineyards and rolling hills of Napa Valley's less developed east side as you travel up the Silverado Trail before the
Train even leaves in the Station. Arrive at Raymond Vineyards via motorcoach and explore their Theater of Nature, facilities, and eclectic style on your guided tour, while sampling some of their wonderful wines.
Transfer to the
Train after your tour and enjoy the next two hours viewing the west side of the Valley and leisurely savoring a multiple course gourmet lunch in one of our dining cars as you return to Napa.
