Wine Train

As first-timers in Napa Valley, we couldn't resist a trip on the Wine Train. It seemed the thing to do, and we weren't disappointed. The festivities started at the depot at 11:00 am with a wine tasting, after which we boarded the train. As the beautiful, rolling Napa Valley and vineyards chugged by, we leisurely enjoyed a full-course gourmet lunch in the ornate dining car. After our lunch settled, we were invited into the dessert and wine-tasting car for more culinary delights. Then the train made a short stop to let some of us off to board a shuttle to the Domaine Chandon winery where we sampled some of the French sparkling wines for which they are so well known. Fortunately for us, our RV park is very close to the train depot. We needed a nap after all the good food and wine!
