Overview

A legacy is handed down over time, through family, tradition, and lots of wine. Your first tasting occurs onboard our open-air car by your on-board Maitre’ D at the Napa Valley Welcome Sign, where upon concluding the tasting you will disembark for a photo opportunity at this legendary landmark.

Some say this is where it all began, and this is where your journey begins.

Down The Line

Full Day Tours are an indulgence start to finish. Elegant interiors. Plush velvet. Gleaming brass. Sleek fixtures. Smooth marble. The train car, rattling at an easy pace through extraordinary Napa countryside. Sweeping rows of vines, some there since 1868, whisper stories. By now you’ll have more than a few stories of your own to tell. By the time you come to the end of the line, you don’t want your journey to end. Please note that our menu’s change seasonally and additional drinks are not included.
