The Napa Valley Wine Train invites you to step back in time as you board its restored Pullman cars, where polished wood and large windows frame sweeping vineyard views. From the moment the train’s whistle sounds, you’re transported through the heart of Napa Valley, winding past historic wineries, sunlit vineyards, and the rustic beauty of California wine country. Onboard, chefs prepare multi-course meals paired with carefully selected wines from the region. With options from sunset dinners to tasting tours with winery stops, the Wine Train offers a memorable way to experience Napa’s flavors and landscapes.

Put your hiking shoes on and plan a day trip up the magnificent Piton de Fournaise volcano - one of the most active peaks in the world. Joining a guided tour is highly recommended, not to mention wearing appropriate clothing, as temperatures tend to fall dramatically the higher up you go.

Casa di Giulietta is a 14th-century Gothic house linked (mostly by myth) to Juliet from Shakespeare’s play. The name similarity between the real Dal Cappello family and the fictional Capulets kicked off the connection. Inside, there’s a small museum and a stone balcony—added long after Shakespeare's time—which draws a steady stream of visitors. The courtyard gets packed, but there’s something fun about the whole scene—even if you know it’s more story than history.
