Prepare for a grape escape on this new tour that features the only wine train experience in Southern California! This nostalgic San Diego wine tasting and vintage rail experience begins with a coastal drive to San Diego’s North Park neighborhood where we’ll enjoy an included lunch with choice of entrée (chicken pot pie, vegetarian pot pie or crispy chicken salad) selected on the day of the tour at the legendary San Diego Chicken Pie Shop. A local institution since 1938, this landmark of quintessential comfort food has used the same homestyle recipe for its famous chicken pot pies for 88 years! Enjoy their world-famous homestyle chicken pot pie stuffed with chicken and turkey and smothered in savory gravy, served with whipped potatoes, a side of vegetables, cole slaw, a pie shop roll and freshly baked dessert pie! This afternoon we’ll continue to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, tucked in the foothills east of San Diego (elevation 2,700’). Then it’s all aboard the Backcountry Wine Train for a 90-minute, roundtrip journey through the rugged backcountry of east San Diego County toward the Mexico border. Sit back, relax and enjoy the views of the dramatic high desert chaparral landscape as we follow the same short line route as the historic San Diego and Arizona Railway aboard restored 1920s vintage commuter cars, equipped with large tables and beautifully decorated with fine linens and flower centerpieces. Your onboard experience includes an individual charcuterie plate, individual chocolatey dessert and a professional sommelier-guided, wine tasting flight featuring six exceptional San Diego County wines. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum which features a variety of trains and a living history approach to preserving the historic legacy, cultural landscape and memorable experience of railroading in the Pacific Southwest. All guests must be 21 years of age and be prepared to show their physical photo identification if requested. At time of booking, guests will have the option to select a non-alcoholic flight of sparkling juices aboard the train.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
