“Afternoon tea is a cherished tradition, and we are thrilled to be able to offer it with a twist of peppermint as part of our holiday programming,” said Nathan Davis, general manager, Napa Valley Wine Train. “It’s the perfect way, and a nice alternative for those who prefer a less wine-centric experience, to celebrate the season with family and friends while enjoying the beautiful Napa Valley scenery.”

Available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays the entire month of December, the three-hour experience features a sparkling wine toast; a selection of fine steeped teas like peppermint tea (and coffee); a demi-tasse portion of soup and petite salad course with seasonal touches; and a three-tiered tray of finger sandwiches, scones and signature mini-desserts with a holiday theme. Optional enhancements include caviar and accompaniments. Trains depart at 11:30 a.m. and return at 2:30 p.m.
