It’s Holiday Time in the Napa Valley! The Holiday season is a great time to visit Yountville and the Napa Valley, especially as a family. The valley is bursting with fun family activities to celebrate the season, such as tree lightings, ice rinks, holiday arts and crafts and most importantly Santa Train Jolly Journeys!

Santa Train Jolly Journey

Festive Fun at the Station

You will begin your festive voyage at the Napa Valley Wine Train station located in downtown Napa. Before boarding, you will discover plenty of  holiday magic.  Cheerful carolers perform as you enjoy a cup of hot cider or cocoa. The station takes on a warm holiday glow, filled with trees and holiday decor.  You can check a few people off your holiday shopping list as you browse through the selection of wine and holiday gifts at the Wine Shop.  A photo opportunity with Santa also awaits!  And if you forgot something on your wish list, a merry mailing station for postcards to The North Pole is available!  There is also an area to drop off a gift to support Expressions of Hope Napa, which supports children in the Napa County foster system.
