Lovebirds, prepare to be whisked away on the sweetest journey of your life this Valentine’s Day. Each year, Verde Canyon Railroad hosts a train ride tailor-made for couples whose love for chocolate almost matches their love for one another. Complete with a luscious fondue fountain, private-label wines and brews, and the expansive Arizona desert landscape, this unforgettable experience is guaranteed to bring you and that special someone closer than ever.
Climb aboard a first-class, vintage train car with your better half for a romantic escape into the Arizona countryside. Bald eagles soar overhead as the vast desert landscape whirls by right outside your window.
An intoxicating aroma fills your nose immediately upon stepping inside. Searching for the source, your gaze finally settles on an overflowing fountain of rich, luscious Belgian chocolate, with marshmallows, bananas, strawberries, and pretzels for dipping.
Cozy up on the living room-style seating specifically designed for cuddling and take turns feeding one another tasty morsels. Private-label wines and brews serve as palate cleansers and help to balance out all the sweetness.
Aside from the fondue, other offerings include cupcakes, petit fours, and plenty of candy. Savory appetizers are also provided to keep you from entering a sugar coma (or at least mitigate the effects.)
