Sip & Savor Express

Sip & Savor, a tasting event on the rails. New features every month!

All aboard for an unforgettable journey! Join us for Sip & Savor, an exclusive tasting event aboard the Virginia Scenic Railway. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the views of the as you sample a curated selection of Virginia’s finest wines or ciders. Each rider features on or the other, depending on whether we are hosting a winery or a cidery for that specific event.

This special event features handpicked varietals from a featured Virginia winery or thoughtfully crafted selections from a highlighted cidery, perfectly paired with carefully decorated charcuterie boards designed to complement each pour. Our onboard wine or cider expert will guide you through the tasting, sharing insights into the unique tasting notes, and stories behind each bottle.

Each month, we shine a spotlight on a different Virginia winery or cidery, giving you the chance to discover the unique flavors, stories, and personalities behind some of the state’s finest. From bold reds in the Blue Ridge foothills to crisp whites from the Shenandoah Valley or even the fresh bite of a Northern Virginia apple, no two rides are ever the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just curious about Virginia wine and cider, this is your chance to sip, learn, and explore something new every month. It’s the perfect blend of railroad charm, local flavor, and adventure, all in one unforgettable ride.
