Northern California’s famous Napa Valley Wine Train has been providing one-of-a-kind train rides in the heart of wine country for some time. From dinner trains to winery tours, there are several types of unique experiences to choose from aboard this train.

Each murder mystery experience has a different theme, including one that looks like a Potterhead’s dream come true. Intrigued? Read on to learn about the complete lineup of unique murder mystery train rides that we can look forward to this year.
Napa Valley Wine Train's popular murder mystery tour is back, and it's bigger and better than ever in 2020. Organized by the Murder Mystery Company, there are a plethora of themed experiences to choose from this year, and there's bound to be one that calls to you.
Offered on select dinner train rides throughout the year, these special train rides are filled with plenty of mystery, mayhem, and murder to keep you entertained. Oh, and plenty of wine! Just be sure to grab tickets for the theme that you prefer ASAP because they are known to sell out quickly.
All in all, there are nine different themed experiences to choose from. The Crime and Punishment theme is the experience with the most dates, but you can also choose from themes like Death of a Gangster, Totally 80s Totally Murder, and what looks to be a Harry Potter-inspired event called Wizards and Witches.
Guests who attend these murder mystery rides are highly encouraged to dress the part, as this is a totally immersive experience from beginning to end. Suggested attire can be found on the Wine Train website, so get ready to bust out your witch hat or wizard robes.
Murder Mystery Company describes itself as "real life theater", so expect a dramatic experience unlike any other. Suspects in the murder mystery will appear as real people— not actors—creating an immersive experience that is bound to leave an impression.
Each train ride is approximately a 3-hour journey that includes a multiple course gourmet meal crafted by a world-class chef. Of course, the murder mystery part of the experience will steal the show, but the delicious food and wine is definitely a plus.
The 2020 season of Napa Valley Wine Train's murder mystery is looking to be as suspenseful as ever, so grab your tickets soon if you'd like to experience this one-of-a-kind event. More information on this year's lineup can be found here.
