Board the historic Wine Train for an epic day of luxury, gastronomy & wine! This full day of beautiful countryside, multiple stops, high end cuisine and delicious winery visits is an indulgence start to finish. Elegant interiors. Gleaming brass. Sleek fixtures. Smooth marble. The train car, rattling at an easy pace through extraordinary Napa countryside. Sweeping rows of vines, some there since 1868, whisper stories. This unforgettable journey through Charles Krug and V. Sattui wineries celebrates over 200 years of combined winemaking history. Rooted in Italian heritage and known for producing exceptional vintages, these iconic wineries are a favorite among the guests. It’s where the legacy of Napa Valley began, and where your next great experience awaits.

First step is to send Claudia the $50 registration fee by Zelle, Paypal or Venmo.
Next, decide your dates & your roomie, then email Claudia when you are ready to snag your hotel room in the group hotel, while they last & while prices are low. A $100 deposit will be required & Claudia will send you a credit card authorization form for the deposit.
NEED a roomie? - We prefer not to make roommate assignments for this retreat, so please try & secure your own roomie. If absolutely necessary, Claudia can help, but there will not be a roomie list for this trip.
