Toast of the Canyon (Sold Out)

Happy Hour on the Rails

If you think wine tastes better with a view, just wait until you try it on a Saturday train ride through the Carson River Canyon!

As you glide through a region less traveled, you’ll toast with local wines, nibble on sweet and savory light bites, and watch Nevada’s landscapes roll by.

What You’ll Love Most About It

Settled into your seat with a glass of crisp wine in hand, you’ll listen as our friendly narrator brings the canyon’s past alive through local legends.

The train engine’s rhythmic chug creates a soundtrack for this laid-back adventure — ideal for date nights, catching up with friends, or small groups looking to unwind in style.

Tips for a Smooth Journey

Like a fine wine, this experience is best enjoyed unrushed. Here’s how to make sure you’re prepared for every sip and story:

  • Plan your route to the Eastgate Depot in Carson City. 
  • Arrive at the depot at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to check in, watch the engine breathe steam against the Nevada sky, and find your seat. 
  • We recommend large groups arrive together, so they can be seated near each other. Seating is not assigned on this train ride. 
  • Bring your camera or have your phone charged. Trust us: There will be plenty of Instagram-worthy sights, including historic reduction mills and timber processing mills!

Please note: Doors close on time, and refunds are not available if you’re not aboard.
