Napa Valley Wine Train recently announced its new Tasting on the Rails journey, offering a seven-course gourmet menu paired with seven wines from six of the region’s American Vineyard Areas.
“This exciting excursion is very special and an experience only the Wine Train can offer,” said Nathan Davis, general manager, Napa Valley Wine Train. “We’ve never done anything like this before that so well compliments [sic] and highlights the best food and wine in Napa Valley with commentary that guides each guest through the route as they learn about each unique area while sipping wine from those regions along the way.
