Great experience
Patti_D, Sep 2022
It was a wonderful evening but they really need microphones on the people talking about all the history of the canyon that is piped into the closed cabins also because we only got one 16th of what he was saying

Patti, thanks for joining us and for sharing these constructive comments. We always strive to improve the passenger experience.
Fun and disappointing at the same time.
Pamela_L, Aug 2022
Beautiful views of the Verde Valley! The gentleman sharing information about the valley was interesting. It was a fun trip BUT it was disappointing to return to the station in the dark. It would of been better to return in the sunset. The wine taste was disappointing. I would of enjoyed more commentary talking about the wines and what they pair with. Also riding on the open car to see the view was impossible to hold the box with the crackers etc . We drank the wine and then went in to eat the snacks after dark. It would of been much better to have the wine taste and pairing after dark. If I decide to do the ride again I will not do the wine taste.

Thank you Pamela for sharing these suggestions. We appreciate that you joined us.
Scenic Train Ride & Good Wine Tasting
rumncoke1, May 2022
Nice selection of wines for tasting and scenic train ride but there is nothing at end of train route. In addition, did not see anyplace during booking that allowed friends who booked separately to sit together. The staff were wonderful and rearranged seating to accommodate us but would be better if it could be done before Checkin.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you for joining us for our first Grape Train Escape event of the summer. We're happy our desk agents were able to rearrange seating at the last minute to connect you with your friends. We are so sorry that you did not notice the “link” ability on the booking page of the website. Maybe we need to enlarge that option. We will take a look at it.
Great trip idea
