A Floral-Inspired Vintage Train Car, Gourmet Lunch and Curated Wine Pairings Set the Stage for a Romantic Journey in Wine Country
September 8, 2026 (Napa, CA) — The Napa Valley Wine Train, a memorable experience that evokes the spirit of luxury rail travel, in partnership with Napa Valley luxury small-batch wine producer The Vice Wine, has announced the debut of ‘The Love Line’ launching February 2027 just in time for Valentine’s Day. The new journey transforms a vintage rail car into a lush, floor-to-ceiling rose garden, inviting guests into an enchanting floral setting as they travel through the vineyards of Napa Valley.
“The Love Line is an immersive journey designed to captivate the senses, pairing vibrant florals and acclaimed selections from The Vice Wine with an exquisite gourmet menu,” said Nathan Davis, general manager of the Napa Valley Wine Train. “We invite everyone joining us to celebrate love in all forms, whether sharing this journey with a romantic partner, dear friends or family, and create lasting memories along the way.”
“The Love Line” is a three-hour roundtrip excursion from Downtown Napa to St. Helena. Before boarding, guests will make their way through the Napa Valley Wine Train’s Love Lock Bridge, where couples can leave a lasting symbol of their journey together. Guests can commemorate the occasion with a special package featuring a printed keepsake photo, two glasses of wine to enjoy at the station and a love lock to attach to the bridge before or after their journey.
Guests will be greeted with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine from The Vice Wine as they board the vintage 1915 Pullman car adorned with hundreds of vibrant roses, setting the stage for an unforgettable afternoon. Framed love poems from celebrated poets and writers including Maya Angelou, Rumi, William Shakespeare and Elizabeth Barrett Browning will be displayed throughout the car, adding another layer of romance to the experience.
As the train departs, guests will indulge in a seasonal three-course gourmet lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients with the option to enjoy a three-course wine pairing of Orange of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon from The Vice Wine collection.
The experience is available Friday through Sunday during the months of February and March 2027. Each journey departs at 11:30 a.m. and returns at 2:30 p.m. Guests must be 21 or older. To purchase tickets or for more information on the Napa Valley Wine Train, visit www.winetrain.com.
