Napa Valley Wine Train Grgich Hills Winery Tasting
Overview
Step into a beautifully restored 1915 Pullman railcar dressed in Honduran mahogany paneling, brass accents, and etched glass partitions. A welcome glass of sparkling wine arrives as the train departs and the vineyards begin to open up outside your window. As the train glides north, a chef-crafted lunch is served fresh from the onboard kitchen.
The train arrives at the legendary Grgich Hills Estate in Rutherford, home of Croatian-born winemaker Mike Grgich, whose 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay defeated France's finest at the 1976 Judgment of Paris, put Napa Valley on the global map forever. Disembark & settle in as your Grgich Hills host leads a private one-hour seated tasting.
Back onboard, coffee, tea, and dessert are served as the train winds its way south through the valley. By the time the Napa station returns to view, the afternoon feels like the kind that stays with you long after the last glass is empty.
