Our first time experience with the NVWT was such an outstanding and memorable one! The food was exceptional! I would recommend 100%! Wow! What service, care, and enthusiasm! It was a fantastic experience! Thank you to everyone, but a special thanks to Nick and Sandy for taking the extra time to make our 30th wedding anniversary an incredible and spectacular one!

Here’s a refined, flowing rewrite with an elevated travel-review tone: We had a lovely experience aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train. We enjoyed a delicious four-course lunch while taking in the beautiful views of the Napa Valley region. The food was excellent, and both the wine and drink selections were well curated. Our ticket included a complimentary photo, a glass of champagne, the four-course meal, and the scenic train ride itself. Additional drinks and select food items were available to purchase if desired. We chose the glass dome option, which allowed for incredible views while dining and made the experience even more special. This was truly a highlight of our trip and an absolute must-do when visiting wine country.

My friends had the brilliant idea to celebrate our birthdays on the Napa Valley Wine Train. And it was amazing! We got to the train station early for check-in and received a commemorative pin. We found our car, which was called the Secret Garden Express, and it was beautiful! It was lined with flowers and the furniture was a mix between mid-century and English Edwardian. And the music from possibly the Vitamin String Quartet gave it Bridgerton vibes. Our hosts, Jose and Michell, took good care of us. They went over our food allergies and gave us info about the wineries we passed by. Since this is a collab with Chandon, at our table was a glass of the Chandon Garden Spritz. It was a delicious and a wonderful way to start the ride. Between the savory and sweet courses, the standouts were the coronation chicken salad, the smoked salmon tartare atop a potato rosti, the lemon raspberry tart, and the tropical cheesecake. The coronation chicken salad was warmly spiced with curry and there was a pop of sweetness from the grapes. The potato rosti was satisfyingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The smoked salmon tartare was full of salty and dill flavors. The tart had balanced flavors and it wasn’t too sweet. The tropical cheesecake was creamy and I liked the subtle sweetness from the fruit and the texture from the coconut. The teas were also very good. It’s unlimited so best to try them all! Let’s talk about prices. The Napa Valley Wine Train has several packages, and I believe the afternoon tea is one of the packages on the lower end. At around $270 (which can change depending how close you buy before the date), it can cause a dent in your wallet, especially in this economy. But if you can save up for it, it’ll be worth every penny. The service was above and beyond, and the food and drinks were stellar. I would love to do this again next year!

My husband gifted me the Chandon Afternoon Tea experience on the Napa Valley Wine Train for my birthday and it was everything I hoped for and more. We usually travel for my birthday, but since I’m still recovering from an ACL injury, we wanted something special that didn’t require too much walking and this ended up being the perfect choice. It truly transported us into a different world, even a different time period. It felt so nice to dress up, sip on some spritz, and enjoy all the little afternoon tea delights while taking in the views. Jose was our speaker/host/server and he absolutely made the experience. At every stop he shared fun facts, stories, and little tidbits, keeping everything engaging, entertaining, and genuinely funny. He definitely had everyone’s attention. Michell, who assisted with serving and preparing the dishes, was also wonderful. Both of them were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and on top of everything. The entire experience felt unique, elevated, and really special. There were tons of photo opportunities, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere felt luxurious in the best way. Yes, it’s definitely on the expensive side, but TBH, I think it’s worth experiencing at least once. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something memorable to do in Napa!

This review is specific for the “Legacy Experience”. Please make sure you read what exactly your booking as reading earlier reviews, there are different packages. Well let me tell you about our 5 star review experience on here as my wife booked this to celebrate our anniversary. This was a 6 hour tour with 3 wine tastings and a 4 course gourmet meal. Our first tasting was onboard the outdoor (covered) car and Oscar was great in explaining about some of the history of the region and then going into depth about the wines we tasted. The 2nd wine tasting was a stop and tour of the Charles Krug winery. The 3rd tasting which was my favorite was at the V.Sattui winery. During the day you’ll start off with a nice light breakfast followed by lunch and at the end a nice dessert. Great thing they also offer gluten free options or alternatives. Oscar and Marina were great in attending to us all throughout the tour and the chefs onboard provided some fabulous gourmet food. At the very end, everyone was invited to gather in the outdoor cart for some mingling and dancing. My hats off to the entire team that made this tour a big hit. We definitely will be back again.
