Your Cinco De Mayo Will Be The Best Fiesta On Napa’s New Tequila Train

@winetrain

Napa’s beloved Wine Train is expanding into slightly wilder terrain (or terroir, if you’re a dork about how alcohol is made). If your drink of choice is a margarita, you’ll love the Tequila Train.

Fittingly premiering on Cinco de Mayo, the Tequila Train is an indulgent, yet classy way to imbibe. There will be no shots leading to dancing on tables here. Instead, it will be a three-hour tour of the Napa Valley all set to live Latin music. The train ride includes a tequila tasting and a four-course dinner.

It’s an evening tour, starting with a happy hour with tequila cocktails and guacamole. The first course of the meal is shrimp ceviche (infused with tequila, of course) and tortillas. The second is tortilla soup, with black beans, cilantro crema and lime. For your third course, you’ll dine on flat iron steak and chicken with rice, queso fresco and chimichurri. The dessert course is a Mexican classic — tres leches cake.

Everything is paired with different Casa Dragones tequilas. The small-batch tequila producer is located in Jalisco, Mexico, but the tour aims to bring the flavor of the region up into California. Tickets for the Tequila Train start at $295 per person. ¡Salud!
