🍷 Fall by Rail: Napa Valley Wine Train Legacy Tour. This week, we leave Pennsylvania’s pumpkin trains behind and suddenly — poof — we’re in California trying (and failing) to act like sophisticated wine people. (This experience was hosted — huge thank you to the team at the Napa Valley Wine Train for having us!). Official website → https://www.winetrain.com/ 🍇

Last time: donuts and cider.
Today: linen napkins, mahogany dining cars, and me pretending to understand what “tannins” are.
Welcome to the Napa Valley Wine Train — a full six-hour Legacy Tour through California’s most iconic vineyards.

🍇 In this episode:
• Boarding the 1910-style luxury Wine Train (yes, it’s as fancy as it sounds)
• Sparkling wine for me / sparkling grape juice KING energy for Ludvig
• A slow glide through golden vineyards during harvest season
• Lunch, cheese plates, dessert, and attempted elegance by two train nerds
• Wine tastings at Charles Krug (Napa’s oldest winery!) and V. Sattui
• Open-air cars, photo stops, hot-air balloons, and questionable wine terminology
• Dancing on a train. Because of course.

It’s old-school luxury meets train nerd heaven, and the result is… honestly perfect.

✨ About the Series:
Fall by Rail is our cosy, awkward autumn adventure across the USA — heritage trains, tiny towns, leaf-peeping, and the occasional wine-related identity crisis.

🎥 Next Up:
The Pacific Surfliner — California’s legendary coastal train to Disneyland. 🎢🚂

🎥 How We Actually Film These Adventures

No big crew. No fancy production team.
Just me, Ludvig (when I can convince him), and a couple of tiny cameras doing all the heavy lifting.

My secret weapon? Insta360.
It’s how I get those “wait… who’s filming her?!” shots while travelling solo.

✨ The cameras I use:
• Insta360 X5 — drone-looking shots without a drone → https://www.insta360.com/sal/x5?utm_t...
• Insta360 GO Ultra — teeny POV camera I stash literally everywhere → https://www.insta360.com/sal/go-ultra...

Hej hej from the rails! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛

Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
