    What could be better than savoring wine while soaking in the scenery of the Southwest? This is a relatively new pairing for Arizona’s Verde Valley, but it is quickly gaining notoriety as a fine region for grape growing. Enjoy open-air cars where the lush riparian landscape of summer, including canopies cottonwoods, moody monsoon afternoons and deep crimson cliffs, compliments a great glass of wine!

The scenery on the train ride was amazing - so much fascinating geologic information was provided by the tour guide/server. There were only 4 quite small wine tastings provided, which was a bit disappointing. However, other alcoholic & non- alcoholic beverages were available for purchase. The appetizers provided included varieties of cheese, deli-style meat, grapes, crackers & a brownie.I took my husband on this trip as our 25th wedding anniversary gift. We both enjoyed it!

The Verde Canyon Railroad trip in itself is a magnificent trip! It is very scenic and the accommodations on the train are comfortable and clean (except maybe the restrooms). The one negative is we booked the “Grape Train Escape” wine tasting experience which was a total rip off. The wines we tasted were all by Jacob’s Creek and Autralian label that sells for around $3 at your local grocer. We are in the middle of Arizona’s wine country and yet they are offering bad wine from Australia. So for an upcharge of $36 per person you get a VERY SMALL pour of marginal wines. I’m not a wine snob by any means, but they should work with some of the local producers and make this a special event. Fortunately the scenery the train reveals helps to smooth over the disappointment. My advice is, definitely book the Saturday Starlight Trip, but save your money on the wine tasting ripoff. .

I experienced this solo and had a great time! I had so much wine, we did a champagne toast to start the train journey, and each person received their own charcuterie board with fruit, meats, cheeses, crackers, and chocolate. I loved hearing about the history of Verde Canyon! I will definitely recommend this for anyone: solo, girls trip, couples…. When I return back to Arizona, I would do this again!
