Napa Neighbor Cabernet Season on the Wine Train Some experiences in Napa Valley scream “tourist.” These include Castello di Amorosa, Sterling Vineyards, a hot-air balloon ride – and the Wine Train. They are great fun and worth trying if you can, and ideal treats for visiting relatives and friends. Fortunately, the Napa Valley Wine Train offers locals special deals during the “off” season January 1 to March 31, more elegantly dubbed the Cabernet Season: The Gourmet Express for more than 50% off, includes a welcome glass of sparkling wine, a multi-course meal and a three-hour journey. The Legacy Experience for more than 70% off, is a six-hour journey of three hours on the train and three hours of wine tasting. It includes a welcome glass of sparkling wine, four-course meal and a tasting of 11 wines. One tasting is at Charles Krug and one is at V. Sattui.

Call for reservations and mention the “Napa Neighbor” offer when you select your experience. You can’t reserve these online; then anyone could. Additional restrictions may apply. It excludes Feb. 13 to 17. All ride requests are based on availability. The Legacy Experience is not available on Saturday.
