The Tennessee Central Railway Museum Has A Wine-Themed Train In Tennessee That Will Give You The Ride Of A Lifetime
Wine tasting is one of life’s sweetest pleasures, don’t you think? It brings to mind sipping from a fragile glass in the countryside, vines thick with grapes and heavy with the sweet smell of the fruit in the air. Here in Tennessee, the Central Railway Museum has upped the ante on a classic wine tasting experience with a wine-themed excursion train. We’ll let you in on the secret below so that you can plan a trip out in the countryside for yourself. There’s truly nothing else like it!
The Tennessee Central Railway has reimagined vintage travel by sourcing historic equipment and bringing the age of railway experiences back to life with a series of themed excursions. Sure, highways have taken over as the main form of travel and most folks would rather hop on a plane...
...but you can't beat the fun that comes with a train ride through the heart of Tennessee. There's something magical and romantic about it as if you've stepped back in time.
The Tennessee Central Railway has been offering rides since 1989 on their renovated 1950s passenger train. Tickets are available throughout the train for varying prices depending on whether you'd rather spring for a view or go old-school in coach.
Of course, it's the DelMonaco Wine Excursion Train that folks really get excited about. You'll climb aboard on a Saturday morning, and the train will take you out to DelMonaco Wines.
There's a layover in Watertown for lunch, and you can also order food or beer on the train if you get hungry. DelMonaco Wines will also be available for sale on the train itself. It's a great experience, one that's perfect for wine aficionados or newbies to the great sport of wine tasting.
The Tennessee Central Railway has a whole series of fun events on its calendar for the upcoming year, including a wine tasting tour in the springtime, and both a murder mystery train and wine tasting excursion in the late summer.
Make sure you keep an eye on the calendar! There's always something new and fun coming up, and tickets tend to go quickly. You'll want to set a reminder for when they go live so you can snag a spot on an upcoming train, friends. It's an adventure you're bound to love.
