Beer on the Rails

We are back with an all new set of rides for 2025!

Enjoy a leisurely train ride with local beer tasting, great scenery, and food.

Be treated to a two hour train ride while tasting a variety of beers from three Bay Area breweries serving a total of 7-9 different beers. A complimentary lunch is also included in your fare. For those who want to ride, but not partake in the beer, we also offer a designated driver ticket that also includes lunch and non-alcoholic beverages.

Three chances to ride this year on Sundays, June 1st, August 3rd, and September 7th.

Trains will depart from our Sunol station at 1PM and will return by 3PM.

$69 for beer tasting & lunch
$37 for designated driver ticket (lunch only with non-alcoholic beverages available)
