If you want to do something
very special while you are in Napa Valley I would suggest “The Napa Wine Train”.
The wine train leave the city of Napa and travels north through the valley and
past some of the historic wineries in Napa Valley. The trip is a relaxing
three-hour, thirty-six mile round trip journey from Napa to St Helena and back.
Guests aboard the Wine Train
enjoy a freshly prepared gourmet lunch or dinner inside a fully restored 1915-1917
Pullman Dining Car or 1952 Vista Dome Car as they pass the vineyards and
wineries of Napa Valley. They also have the option of pre-purchasing a winery
tour where they will drop you off and pick you up on the way back. Wineries are
different depending on the day.
I have done this twice and would recommend
booking the Vista Dome Car. You get a fantastic view from both sides of the car
as you are sitting higher up and in a dome. After you arrive and check-in they offer wine tasting from a local wine expert who will be happy to answer any question. The ride is at a slow pace with a
few stops as they let the people off and on that are touring a winery. The food
is excellent and the wine selection is awesome as you would expect in the wine
country. You can bring your own wine if you want and they only charge a small
corkage fee. Also, the staff love what they are doing and it shows in the
service you get.
Prices vary depending on the type of car
you select. Their site shows prices ranging from $109/person to $149/person
excluding wine and a winery tour if you desire.
For more information and booking you can go

If you have the time this is a must do
attraction.
