10:30 AM | YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS
Your Vista Dome adventure starts at McKinstry Street Station, where you check in with our team and queue to board at the sound of a bell. Here, you can learn more about the Wine Train’s history, peruse the Wine Shop for treasures to take home, or sip a pre-boarding mimosa at The Artist’s Café.
11:00 AM | WELCOME ABOARD
Once your photo is taken in front of the train by our photography team, you board the train and take your seat in the immersive second-floor Vista Dome. This glass-domed observation-style car surrounds you with unparalleled Valley views from the comfort of plush red velvet booths and tables draped in white cloth.
11:30 AM | TIME TO DEPART
The train departs the station as its whistle calls out. The ambiance continues to build as you enjoy a welcoming glass of bubbly as scenes start to pass and you come upon the first installations of the Rail Arts District.
11:30 - 2:30 | BON APPÉTIT
You chat with the maître d’, learn from our sommelier, and enjoy the scenery and four palate-pleasing courses. After your indulgences, treats, and feast, you explore the train cars between courses—and even visit our chefs hard at work in our gourmet kitchen.
2:30 PM | FAREWELL FOR NOW
You saw the sights, you savored it all, and now your three-hour ride comes to an end. We say goodbye and look forward to welcoming you back onboard.
