ValenWine Train, Pacific Southwest Railway Museum & Included Lunch at San Diego Chicken Pie Shop
Activity Level
Prepare for a grape escape celebrating love, friendship and fine wine aboard Southern California’s only wine train experience! This nostalgic vintage-rail outing begins with a scenic drive to San Diego’s North Park neighborhood for an included lunch with choice of entrée at the legendary San Diego Chicken Pie Shop. Serving quintessential comfort food since 1938, this local landmark still honors its original homestyle recipe after 88 years. Savor their famous chicken pot pie—filled with tender chicken and turkey, smothered in savory gravy, and served alongside whipped potatoes, vegetables, coleslaw, a dinner roll, and freshly baked dessert pie. This afternoon, we’ll continue east into the rugged foothills to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo (elevation 2,700′). Then it’s all aboard the ValenWine train for a scenic 90-minute round-trip journey through the rugged backcountry toward the Mexican border. Relax and take in dramatic high-desert chaparral vistas as we follow the same short line route as the historic San Diego and Arizona Railway. Traveling aboard beautifully restored 1920s vintage railcars dressed in fine linens and festive Valentine’s decor, you'll be treated to an individual charcuterie plate, decadent chocolate dessert, and a sommelier-guided tasting flight of six exceptional San Diego County wines. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum's historic locomotives and open-air rail exhibits.All guests must be 21 years of age and be prepared to show their physical photo identification if requested. Guests must notify us at the time of booking (and by February 5, 2027) if they prefer a vegetarian charcuterie and/or a non-alcoholic flight featuring non-alcoholic craft beverages onboard the wine train.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
