Enjoy an unparalleled dining experience when you travel aboard our unique Wine 'n Dine train.  Board the classic Pullman Dining car "Epicurus" where all tables feature picture-window views of the scenic Hudson River Valley.  As the train speeds along the east shore of the Hudson you'll be pampered with a delightful dinner and refreshing libations.   Guests originating in NYC may enjoy a Saturday afternoon dining journey or a Sunday all-day journey to explore Saratoga or Lake George at their leisure.

            

 

Dining aboard the Epicurus is an event as our chef freshly prepares a savory meal for your dining pleasure.  A traditional multi-course "dinner in the diner" is served restaurant-style complimented by fine china and snow white linen table coverings.  We've even selected regional wines from the award-winning Demarest Hill Winery and Vineyard that showcase the agricultural riches of the Hudson Valley.  Choose from a Meat, Seafood or Pasta entree.
