A New Spot to Wine in Napa

Want to wine and dine on wheels? Raymond Vineyards and Wine Train have teamed up to create a new tour through Napa Valley. The Napa Valley Wine Train takes guests up the East (and trackless!) side of the Napa Valley.

We hear oenophiles will be given behind-the-scenes looks at a family winery, and then it's off to the historic Wine Train for a gourmet lunch.

The deal: See the east side vineyards in the morning light and then embark on a 90-minute comprehensive tasting and tour of the Raymond Vineyards. Upon arriving at Raymond's "Theater of Nature," the winery tour will begin with an introduction to Raymond's history and organic farming practices.

The tour then joins the Wine Train where a three-course gourmet lunch awaits.
