“We’ve created our new tea service as a perfect way to spend quality time with loved ones over a comforting cup of tea and flavorful treats in a luxury atmosphere,” said Nathan Davis, general manager, Napa Valley Wine Train. “There is no better setting to transport guests to the glory days of afternoon tea than our train’s antique Pullman railcars, which have been beautifully restored with Honduran mahogany paneling, brass accents, etched glass partitions and plush armchairs.”

 

Tea service will begin with a welcome glass of sparkling wine (or cider for those under 21) alongside a selection of cheeses. A tea cart will travel through the railcar serving tea in classic, ornate cups. The second course includes a soup and side salad, followed by finger sandwiches, warm scones and accompaniments, and strawberries with cream Chantilly. Petit fours and miniature desserts round out the experience.
