- Some of our tables are arranged for parties of 3-4 people. Parties of 2 are not available at these tables. If you are unable to book a table for two (2), it is likely because they are all booked for that date and we only have tables for 3-4 available.

- What sights will I see from Dinner Train?
- As a key route for passenger and industrial service in the early and mid-20th century, this historic excursion line begins on a pre-Civil War route crossing four bridges and through the Missionary Ridge Tunnel. As the train makes its way past East Chattanooga, additional sights that can be viewed from the train include the Chattanooga Zoo established in 1937 and the Warner Park fields, previously called “Olympia Park” near the turn of the 20th century

- We do not have a formal dress code for the dinner train, but most passengers seem to enjoy dressing up a bit. We do ask that gentlemen remove their hats while dining on the train.
- Is the Wine Train accessible for wheelchairs?
- Historic rail cars and stations were built before the advent of technology accommodating people with special needs. Our rail cars were not designed to accommodate wheelchairs safely. The ADA recognizes the limitations of such historic rail equipment and expressly exempts these trains and stations from accessibility requirements. Though we cannot accommodate wheelchair access within our historical passenger cars, all persons who can board the train themselves are welcome to ride.

- Can I smoke on the Wine Train?
- Smoking is prohibited on all trains and in all stations by State law.

We so enjoyed Bob, the Maitre de. He was the perfect host. We would’ve enjoyed it if John had given us a little bit of the history of the trains while we were riding in the box car. The food was very good. But the plain baby carrots somewhat ruined the lovely entrees. The desserts were nothing special. But overall it was a lot of fun!

Everything was perfect for our crazy and loud group of 17…smart idea to place us in the dining club car alone. We had a great evening in a really cool, moving venue. Wine was good and plentiful. As expected with fine dining, our entrees were prepped well and served at the perfect temperature. Desserts-yummy! Bob, our server, was prompt, fun and very informative. Moving moment passing the Chattanooga National Cemetery at dusk. Everyone agreed, it was well worth our drives from BHM, ATL & Springfield, IL. We all spent the night, having made a long afternoon, evening and night of it.

We enjoyed the experience. Appreciated the greeting and guidance getting aboard. The decorations were beautiful. Wine service cordial and informative. Table service was top notch. Table setting was very fitting the era of the dining car. JJ and his crew did a great job. The food was middling at best. We expected a bit better. We would rate it 2 star. Chicken breast had lots of bones. Beef was well, well done. Beans were either over done or from a can. Would like to have known were we were in Chattanooga. Maybe the Conductor can make announcements. We will not return for the food. But will for the experience of the Wine Train. Maybe do a Wine and heavy Charcuterie Board Train? Selection of wines, cheeses and more.

Wine Train was a Christmas gift from our son. When we arrived for the Wine Train, our son and his girlfriend surprised us by being there to make the trip with us! Wine Train immediately accommodated us by rearranging everything so we could be a table for 4 instead of two tables of two. It was a magical experience with the people we love, great food, great wine, great service, great experience —on a train! You’ve simply got to see Gage pour coffee on a moving train!

I can't think of anything I would improve. This was great for a special occasion, better than going to a restaurant where you just eat and leave. I have told several friends about it, and now they are considering coming. My husband and I will be back again.

This was an awesome experience!! The service was outstanding. It was a bit difficult to hear everything our guide was saying. I wanted to hear every word! The only suggestion with food was temperature of rolls - I understand it would be difficult to have them hot... otherwise I was so pleased with my beef selection and dessert was delicious. Will be sharing our experience on facebook for folks in our area here in Alabama.Thank you for this evening where we celebrated 2 special birthdays.

Best kept secret in Chattanooga. Quality event - wouldn’t have any idea how it could be better. A trip back in time to a more elegant way of travel. Outstanding food and a wine experience as good as it gets.

We absolutely loved this experience! The train was beautifully restored. The staff were very knowledgeable about the history of the train. The table settings were adorable. The wines were very good choices. And the food was delicious. John did a terrific hob! And we really enjoyed talking to Bob. He was entertaining with his train knowledge. The service was above and beyond what we expected. We would love to take this trip again in the future!

Our party of six have not stopped talking about the experience. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable. The food was 5 star and the atmosphere was delightful. The wine pairing was on par with Napa or any of the finer Wineries. We highly recommend the Wine Train to you and all of our friends. We will be back!

Thank you for a wonderful experience. It was really neat. The food could have been better. The soup tasted like tomato water, not bisque. The green beans were not fresh. The dessert was not homemade. The wine was excellent!!!! I own a bakery in Nashville so I picked up on these things. Details matter and homemade (from a good cook!!) is always the best way to go!!!!

I thought that private dining for 2 would not be in the crowded dining car. Everything was good except that there were a couple plus tables that were extremely loud. I will say that John moved us to another car after the main course because it was so loud. Our waiter and John were excellent and provided excellent customer service

Was a fun experience. Loved the dining car and the big band music. Food sides could have had more variety. More creativity with the vegetable side. Two people pouring wine would have made this experience an overall 10.

1) Wish we knew there was open bar prior to getting on train, would of arrived earlier...zero alcohol was there when we arrived 20 mins early to train departing
2) last 30+ mins of the train ride there was zero wine given out
3) dont think we received all 4 portions of the wines:/
4) Some didnt like the sauce on the salmon (maybe consider putting sauce on side and folks can pour if they like it?)
5) Overall still enjoyed ourselves and neat experience. Could have potential to receive 10 on everything.

The food was great. Service was great except everyone got a refill and they forgot to come back to me when the wine bottle was empty. The term "private dining" is a little misleading for the Pullman car. Overall it was a nice experience.

Overall experience was wonderful. I rated lower than a 10 in two areas. The food was excellent for a convention style setting. Serving large amounts of people is never easy! Also the ambience received a nine rating because it was a little loud with a car full of people plus loud music.

The food was excellent. Our waiter would not come to our table and was a little rude. It was a neat experience. For over 350 and requesting (paying) the higher fee, we were put in the end with less ambiance...so I would verify which car you will be in. I would give it a 10 if not for those two items. Best part was unique ness and food. Improvements would be staff and uniform seating. The wine was delicious (when the waiter would come pour) I had 2 glasses :/
