The Flavors Napa Valley Has to Offer
Tasting on the Rails in a four-hour wine and dine experience that takes place aboard our newly renovated Pullman lounge car, where you will receive a welcome glass of sparkling upon boarding paired with your first course, an amuse bouche. Your culinary journey begins as we make our way through the Rail Arts District and into the Valley where you’ll take in the incredible views it has to offer. Throughout the journey, you’ll get a taste of Napa with seven local tastings from Charles Krug Winery, Trefethen, Beaulieu Vineyard, Belle Glos, Tate, and Ghost Block Estate Wines!
As you continue your northern journey towards Oak Knoll AVA of Napa, our staff will return with a second course of tasty arugula and goat cheese salad paired with a Sauvignon Blanc from Charles Krug Winery.
After you’ve indulged in our salad, we’ll have our soup of the day waiting for you. This is freshly prepared by our gourmet chefs using carefully selected local produce. Calling all chardonnay fans — we pair this soup with one of Napa’s finest Chardonnays!
Once we arrive at St. Helena for our turnaround, the main events start to occur! Let your mouth water when you enjoy our freshly prepared herb and garlic prawns cooked in a silky mushroom puree, paired with one of the best pinot noirs Napa Valley has to offer.
Then comes the main course of triple-seared beef tenderloin, accompanied by a side of potato au gratin. This fifth course is paired perfectly with a private reserve cabernet. Make sure to take in the views of the journey coming back through Rutherford as you enjoy your meal; talk about lunch with a view!
It’s important to save a little room for dessert because we must make sure to take care of that sweet tooth! Enjoy a fine chocolate bar paired with Ghost Block’s iconic Zinfandel.
As we return through Oak Knoll, make a toast with Trefethen Riesling, which comes from the Oak Knoll area itself! Say cheers to making memories with loved ones as you enjoy a cheese duo to pair with your wine.
Stay and Sip for a While
This new luxurious journey is, without a doubt, the perfect way to effortlessly sample the tastes of Napa Valley in one place at one time. Just sit back and enjoy the views as we happily serve you.
