POV: Wine Train Date Night
July 18, 2023 / Romance, Tasting & LearningLooking for date night ideas beyond the typical “dinner and a movie” outing? We invite you to indulge in a romantic rail line adventure for your next date night!
Combining rail travel, gourmet eats, and some of the finest wine that Napa Valley has to offer –produced right from the vineyards you will pass along during your journey – the Wine Train experience is like no other with an array of different voyages to select from, the perfect date night for you and your special someone awaits.
Half Day Dates
Lunch or dinner? Decisions, decisions. If you’re a sucker for sunsets, you may choose to select the Vista Dome Dinner for dinner with a view as the sun sets along the vineyards. If you’re more of a lunch date type of person, you can opt for the Vista Dome Lunch with lush views of the Valley instead!
Any tea fans? If so, you may want to check out our Afternoon Tea Experience, especially this summer as we are transporting guests to a secret garden for an exciting collaboration between Chandon and the Napa Valley Wine Train for the April to October 2023 season! This three-hour adventure offers steeped tea and finger sandwiches galore! Looking for a little extra indulgence? A caviar course with wine pairings is available for add-on with this experience!
Discover a feast for the senses on our newest journey, Tasting on the Rails! Foodie couples will love the opportunity to taste multiple different offerings of both foods and wines – seven of each, to be exact! This new adventure gives you the one-of-a-kind opportunity to taste the flavors of Napa Valley through the wines you’re consuming as you pass by the very AVAs where they were produced.
Looking for a more interactive date? From September 4 to October 15, make sure to check out the Grape Stomp at Grgich Hills! Enjoy two hours aboard our vintage train with a multiple course gourmet lunch before heading to Grgich Hills to immerse yourself in a grape stomp! Immerse yourself (quite literally) in the process of winemaking that dates back ages. With this event being so exclusive, make sure to secure your tickets as soon as possible! Looking for a classic laid-back vibe? You can never go wrong with our signature Gourmet Express experience!
Full Day Dates
If you’re more of a “go big or go home” person looking for a full day date outing, make sure to grab tickets to our Legacy Experience! This six-hour adventure takes you to three delicious wine tastings at the iconic Napa Valley Welcome Sign, Charles Krug, and V. Sattui with no shortage of photo ops along the way. You’ll learn about winemaking history dating back more than 200 years. Of course, we can’t forget about the meal—this experience also includes four delectable gourmet courses made fresh aboard our antique train!
Turn Your Date Night to a Date Weekend
Why stop at just date night? Nothing says romance like a weekend away in Wine Country! We’ve worked closely with our hotel partners to make a Wine Train weekend getaway easier than ever. You can now pair your Wine Train with a one- or two-night stay to top off a spectacular weekend away with your favorite person.
No matter which Wine Train journey you go with for your next date night, it’s bound to be one to remember forever.
