Best wine tourism idea ever: Park the car and let the Napa Valley Wine Train carry you through California’s famous wine region in comfort and high style. The historic passenger train — made of beautifully restored vintage Pullman rail cars with Honduran mahogany paneling, brass accents, etched glass partitions and deep, luxurious armchairs — is an elegant way to explore some of the top wineries in Napa Valley, now with both daytime and nighttime tour options. In addition to day excursions, new Twilight Private Tours will journey to Raymond Vineyards or Grgich Hills Estate with onboard gourmet appetizers and wine tastings pre-vineyard tour, and dessert and coffee on the return journey. While at the vineyard, guests will enjoy an exclusive dinner.

The Quattro Vino tours feature four itinerary options: Legacy (tastings and tours at Robert Mondavi, Charles Krug and V. Sattui); Estate (tastings and tours at Domain Chandon, Hall and Inglenook); Collective (tastings and tours at Raymond, Beringer and St. Supéry); and a fourth, soon-to-be-unveiled route. Each tour begins with a sparkling wine tasting before a four-course dinner whipped up by Napa Valley Wine Train’s executive chef Donald Young. Each six-hour tour departs from the station at 10:15 a.m. and returns at 4:15 p.m. Tickets begin at $329 per person. Train fare, dinner, tours and tastings are included. Twilight Tours, limited to Saturdays, depart at 5:45 p.m. and return at 10:15 p.m. Tickets begin at $339 per person. The station is located in downtown Napa, and transportation via luxury coach and ferry is available to and from San Francisco.
