The Napa Valley Wine Train is a luxurious and iconic excursion that takes passengers on a scenic journey through the picturesque Napa Valley wine country in California. As the name suggests, this experience combines the elegance of vintage rail travel with the world-renowned wine culture of the region, offering a unique and unforgettable way to explore the area's vineyards, wineries, and stunning landscapes.

The train is normally pulled by two of the four late-1950s era Alco FPA-4 engines in the company's inventory. These engines were originally built by Montreal Locomotive Works and first owned by Canadian National Railway and later by Via Rail.

The Napa Valley Wine Train said that its new locomotive will be “nearly silent and odorless,” enhancing the passenger travel experience as it complies with environmental regulations.

Manufactured by Rolls-Royce and commissioned through the Knoxville Locomotive Works, the 1864 engine is designed to run with low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions that meet or exceed current EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 4 emissions classifications.

The train itself is a beautifully restored vintage railcar, reminiscent of the golden age of train travel, with luxurious interiors featuring plush seating, polished wood paneling, and panoramic windows that provide sweeping views of the Napa Valley scenery. Passengers can relax in comfort as they embark on a leisurely journey through rolling hills, vineyards, and charming towns, enjoying the scenic beauty of the region from the comfort of their seat.

But the highlight of the Napa Valley Wine Train experience is undoubtedly the onboard dining and wine-tasting experience. The train offers a variety of gourmet dining options, ranging from multi-course meals prepared by talented chefs using locally sourced ingredients to more casual dining experiences featuring California-inspired cuisine.
