| This would be the car I would ride back to Napa in, #1015 "Le Petit Gourmet" which features the Gourmet Express Lunch. |
 |
| The place setting inside Dining Car #1015 - "Le Petit Gourmet", and that crusty bread they serve with your meal is out of this world delicious!!! |
 |
| The First Course: A Baby Lettuce Salad with candied walnuts and smoked goat cheese in a honey cider vinaigrette. |
 |
| The Main Course: Grilled Breast of Chicken in a mushroom, garlic and Merlot sauce with fresh herbs and shaved parmesan. Lunch also included a taste of the Wine Train's own label Chardonnay from the Raymond Vineyard in Napa Valley. Lunch was absolutely delicious! |
 |
| These beautiful flowers lined every table in the car. |
 |
| More beautiful palm trees near the Beaulieu Vineyards wine tasting room in Rutherford. |
 |
| Another beautiful day in Napa Valley! |
 |
| Very interesting trees outside the Peju Province Winery in Rutherford. |

 |
| I just needed some proof I was here!!! |
 |
| Now I'm gonna hang out on the platform outside the Chardonnay Lounge for a bit, what a view!!! |
 |
| Crossing a dry creek bed, getting back over towards Napa. The conductor on the train told me after the recent earthquake that struck near this area, some of the dry creeks ended up having water in them again! |
 |
| I never thought fall colors on a vineyard would look so interesting!!! This area is known as the Oak Knoll District. |
 |

 |
| I always liked the railroad cars used as billboards!!! |
 |
