Evening Journeys
A twilight Valley ride and exceptional service await with elegant evenings aboard the Wine Train. Our signature evening journeys invite you to dine in the glass-ceiling Vista Dome, where you’ll weave through California wine country. Let us transport you back in time, thanks to the vintage touches on the Gourmet Express, where each experience delivers artful seasonal fare.
Vista Dome Dinner
There’s romance on the rails for you and your special someone aboard our elegant Vista Dome Dinner experience. As dusk descends, making room for a blanket of stars, you’ll be seated in the panoramic glass-dome dining car for a multi-course gourmet meal paired with a charming vintage atmosphere.
Gourmet Express Dinner
Guests aboard the evening Gourmet Express journey will indulge in three sumptuous courses, all served in our exquisitely refurbished Pullman dining car. As the train moves through the Valley at golden hour, passengers can visit one of three kitchen cars, where our talented culinary team crafts fresh Wine Country-inspired fare.
Tasting on the Rails Dinner
Sample and savor some of the Valley’s very best—for even longer. Make the most of daylight savings with a sunlit ride aboard the Wine Train from dinnertime to dusk. Onboard, you’ll indulge in a true feast for the senses with a tasting menu of seven courses — each expertly paired with Napa AVA wines. While seated, you’ll enjoy expansive vineyard views and endless rolling hills.
Murder Mystery Dinner
An evening of intrigue unfolds as you travel to yesteryear aboard the Wine Train. On select dates, choose from a collection of themed experiences and ride the rails for a mysterious game of cat and mouse. Each immersive murder mystery features its own suggested attire—from 50’s fashions to masquerade formal wear—and a delectable multi-course dinner.
