The Iconic Love Lock Bridge
Impossible to miss and a forever memory of your love, the picturesque pedestrian bridge that leads passengers from the train station to the boarding platform has been transformed into a Love Lock Bridge. What is a Love Lock Bridge? Glad you asked! It’s a unique visual representation of countless couples declaring their commitments to each other. Over the years, countless couples have adorned padlocks with their names, initials, important dates, and more. Then, they clasp the lock to the fence along the bridge as a symbol of their unbreakable bond.
There are many famous Love Lock Bridges around the world, including in Paris, Cologne, and Seoul, and we’re happy to have our version of this romantic tradition right here in Napa Valley. Want to start your romantic journey with a visible sign of your love? All you have to do is bring a lock (we suggest a simple padlock), write your message, and add it to the collection of locks already adorning the fence. You can toss the key or keep it as a symbol — whichever you prefer. Once your lock is secured, you’ll be reminded of your love and the special day you had with your honey every time you board the Wine Train.
