“Not bad - could be better w/ change”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

This attraction has such potential. The ride is wonderful, guide knowledgable, dessert excellent and I highly recommend you look at the photographs they take of you after your trip. They put together an excellent package for purchase and the pics are high quality. Reasons this does not get an excellent rating are: The wine served was average (our day it... More

“Wonderful way to spend an afternoon!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

My husband and I chose the Vista Dome for our trip on the wine train. The Vista Dome is the most expensive option. From beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. The Vista Dome is the only car that is totally private. It is beautiful and elegant. (The rest of the train is beautiful, also, and we did have... More

“We enjoyed this!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

My wife and I just took the Napa Valley Wine Train for lunch on May 20, 2013. We did the Grgich Hills Winery tour along with lunch on the train. This is a leisurely way to see NAPA valley in the comfort of an airconditioned dining car, tour an incredibly historic winery, and have a nice afternoon. Lunch was very... More

“Train Wreck”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Not super impressed with this attraction...especially for the money. First, we started off on the wrong foot by getting a menu that didn't match what was online. We thought we were on the BBQ train and the only BBQ dish they had was ribs, which wasn't lip smakin' good. Plus they offer a "complimentary" glass of wine at the beginning... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us. It’s disappointing to hear that you were not impressed with our Silverado Car or it’s menu. We changed up the menu this year and I must have not changed it online fast enough. I apologize. Since reading your review, I have double checked our website to ensure that the online menu... More

“An amazing tour of Napa on the Wine Train - and the food is wonderful!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Beginning with the Ferry ride from San Francisco to Vallejo; then the shuttle ride to Napa (with an excellent guide who made that part of the trip pass so quickly); to the actual Wine Train tour, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed that Friday! What a special day! We were seated with a young couple who were delightful... More

Reviewed 13 May 2013

We did the gourmet lunch, and it was a terrific way to begin a week in Napa! Blown away by the quality of the food and the impeccable and friendly service on board. Would highly recommend to anyone. Great views along the way and met some fun and vibrant people. Just do it!

“Service is KING...and the wines not bad too!”

First and foremost - leaving this experience I cannot get over the service we got. Not one person was not friendly or unhelpful. From the hostess, to the servers, even the chef! I am a nursing mother and was worried about taking this day long trip. I usually cannot go longer than3 hours without pumping for my baby. I called... More
