These expertly refurbished 1915-1917 Pullman Cars create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and enjoyment. Meals, designed by Chef Kelly Macdonald, are prepared in a specially fabricated kitchen car located immediately adjacent to each dining area. As with all of the menu choices, the meals are freshly prepared on the train using environmentally responsible ingredients, humanely raised, hormone free meats and fresh, line caught fish.

The lounge cars are luxuriously furnished and equipped with picture windows to maximize the view. All the rail cars are expertly finished with Honduran mahogany paneling, etched glass partitions, brass accents and original artwork by Nepo. You and your guest are invited to explore the train. Interesting places on the train include the kitchen car, where you might see our chefs in action, the wine tasting bar, where the wine expert can help you find a favorite new wine, or the observation deck.

The Gourmet Car has two dinner seatings. Guests who are assigned first seating will be served their choice of appetizers, salads and main courses in the dining car while traveling up the valley, and will be served dessert and coffee or tea in one of the lounge cars on the return trip. Guests who are assigned second seating will be served their appetizers and beverages in one of the lounge cars, and will enjoy their salad, entree and dessert in one of the dining cars on the return trip.
