Napa Valley Wine Tours has made drinking on public transportation just about the classiest thing you could do. The Northern California railroad track, which was built in 1864 and converted into a wine train in 1989, runs from Napa to St. Helena and back, bringing passengers to famous wineries and serving gourmet multi-course meals along the way.

People have been freaking out about the wine train on social media, so we tried it out for ourselves. We went on the Vista Dome lunch train which takes you on a three-hour ride (trips generally last between three and six hours). One ticket costs $250 and includes a welcome glass of bubbly and a four-course meal. This specific tour didn't, but others stop at wineries including Raymond Vineyards, Beringer Winery, and Robert Mondavi Winery.

While airplane food today is notoriously bad, these trains will make you rethink what can be done in a tiny kitchen. Menu options on the Vista Dome train include pacific salmon crudo, ricotta cheese gnocchi, and coconut panna cotta.

The company uses railroad cars that have been restored to their early-20th century charm, and were built to showcase California's stunning natural landscapes on the train. The Vista Dome railcar features an exceptionally spectacular view, and was one of the first 10 full-length domed railcars built.

On other tours, passengers can dress up for a Murder Mystery themed dinner ride, visit the Castello di Amorosa on The Castle Winery tour, or impress a date with the Romance on the Rails package. The company has more than a dozen different tours, each of which starts with a glass of wine or bubbly (as long as you're over 21) and continues with plenty more delicious food and drinks.

While the tours are't exactly cheap, you're definitely paying for the experience, and the more expensive trips include entrance and wine tastings at the wineries you visit. Trains run every day, and you can find the various schedules on Napa Valley's website.
