Featuring:

Navarro Vineyards has been growing grapes sustainably and bottling wine in Mendocino's Anderson Valley since 1974. For almost 40 years Navarro Vineyards has produced wines that have received numerous accolades in wine books & magazines and wine competitions. You won't find Navarro wines in stores as they prefer to sell their hand-crafted wines directly to the people who enjoy them.

Bjornstad Cellars limited wines are vineyard designations, originating from within the appellations of the Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley and Sonoma Mountain. These celebrated vineyards came to be because of their unique blend of location, environmental influence and the people that passionately tend them.

With over a century of winemaking experience in Sonoma, Sebastiani Vineyards focuses on crafting small lots of super-premium wines from Sonoma County.

Partners Joey Wolosz, Jeff Durham and Scott Tracy started Gentleman Farmer to create wine for the table, wine that can be paired with food. With this goal in mind, the partners hired up-and-coming talented winemaker Jason Moore (Modus Operandi, Troubadour), who was inspired by their vision and focus on crafting blends of quality and value.

Gentleman Farmer wines are meant to be shared when people celebrate their lives.

"Take The GAY Train" for an extraordinary evening to celebrate OUR Wine Country with the winemakers in the family.

Tickets: $160 Gourmet Express Car / $175 VIP Vista Dome Car
