We booked the Grgich wine tasting and lunch option. While the service from staff was excellent, the food and the single wine tasting left a lot to be desired, especially for the price (>$800/couple). We requested a vegan option when booking, but the options were minimal for our party. The train travels the same way there and back (therefore you don’t get the opposite view on the return trip). I would choose a private car winery tour next time and visit 3-4 wineries. The train was beautiful and the service was the highlight of the trip.

Hands down, absolutely the best dining experience in the Napa area! We went aboard the Vista Dome for dinner. The service was very informative about not only the food but the wineries in the local area. They go above and beyond in every way to make sure each of their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. The food itself was top notch in every way, from taste to presentation. They also offer a wide variety of wine tastings and tours. I highly recommend this establishment for a great experience, whether passing through Napa or visiting this wonderful town.

My husband and I treated ourselves to THE LEGACY EXPERIENCE 4 course dinner, all day train ride as part of our Anniversary celebration. We were a bit hesitant to spend $1400 on it…but it ended up being worth it. The food was very good. Kind of wish some wine was served with each dish but the wine tasting at the stops (and the train) made it up for it. You can order cocktails/wines for separate pmt. Nick was an amazing guide/entertainer during the train ride and wine tasting (he was very attentive to our needs w/out us asking for it - like having water during the tastings and just being there when needed). His sense of humor and elegance just added charm the entire experience. You guys are lucky to have him. Our server Betty was very polite, kind and attentive. Her attitude toward us as clients is what also made it special. So yes, spending so much was worth it because the staff cared about their representation of the train and its’ experience for us. And yes, we danced on the train! And once again the staff made it more fun. Keep it up! And thank you for treating us like we were that special ;) even though you do it day after day.

My friend and I went to Napa for a day trip to celebrate her birthday. The wine train was such a great experience and I can’t wait to go back again! We did the afternoon tea and it honestly had us so full we canceled our dinner reservations. Everything tasted delicious and the staff were so helpful taking our pictures.

Just had a fabulous experience on the wine train. Five of us, ladies of a certain age, met in Napa to spend a few days together. We chose to sit in the glass car and have the four course meal. Our server Hannah did a great job making sure we had everything we could ever want including specialty drinks. The food was amazing. Whether you're deep into wines or not this is an experience not to be missed.

We planned this trip in January for May. It snuck up quickly and I forgot what the Wine Train included. It was just wonderful. The atmosphere was great, the staff was great, the food was great, the wine tours were fun, then there was dancing on the train. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend the Wine Train if you plan a trip to Napa!

We did the wine train for my wife's birthday and we both loved our experience! The food was gourmet and excellent. the staff was so engaging and fun and gave lots of great details about the different wineries and the area that we went through. We started with a late breakfast of eggs benedict over round hash browns and a wonderful little salad. Maria, our train host, gave us a lot of unique facts about the places we were seeing out the window as we ate our brunch. We then stopped at the Napa Valley Sign and Jorge explained the different wines we were having during the wine tasting. Then we sat down for lunch as we watched the valley go by. Both the vegetarian lunch option my wife had as well as my pork tenderloin were beyond tasty. The two vineyards we went to were unique and the tastings were fun! Finally, as we went back down the valley we were served a rich dessert and had a dance lesson from Jorge. This experience was top notch! It is a six hour experience that is well worth the money. Additionally we have nothing but good things to say about the staff as Maria and Jorge shined and were very lovely!
