This Wine-Themed Train In Washington Will Give You The Ride Of A Lifetime

It’s no secret that we love our wine here in Washington, and we love hearing about new and exciting ways to enjoy our wine (if you doubt this, Google “YogaMosa”). And on a few select days each year, you can combine two of Washingtonians’ greatest joys, wine tasting and train travel. It’s called the Washington Wine Express, and it’s amazing.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

The first Washington Wine Express date has passed, but you still have a few chances left this year to experience it.

You'll depart from the Elbe Depot and enjoy a relaxing steam train ride through the forests and foothills south of Mount Rainier, sipping on wine tastes the entire way.

When the train stops at the MRRR Logging Museum, you’ll have two hours to sample wine many prominent Washington wineries, talk to the vintners and growers, and indulge in a catered meal.

Tickets for the Washington Wine Express are $64 for a Standard Adult, $79 for First Class.

This is a wonderful way to see some of the most beautiful parts of Washington while learning more about our local wine.
