Barbecue-Bound Wine Tours

Napa Valley Wine Train is Headed to a Barbecue Feast This August

While a wine tour is already a fun activity, now there is a way to up the fun factor with a wine tour that ends in a barbecue feast. Perfect for oenophiles and foodies alike, this wine tour is the ultimate way to spend a summer weekend.

The new BBQ-bound wine tour is an exclusive offering by the Napa Valley Wine Train -- a company that has long ferried wine lovers to wineries across Northern California. Now the company is offering a wine train tour to Cochon555 Heritage Fire Napa, which can only be described as a wood-fired barbecue feast prepared by an impressive lineup of professional chefs. The event is set to take place on Sunday, August 26 at Charles Krug Winery, where guests will enjoy "a decadent food and wine event featuring 3,500+ pounds of fire-kissed meat roasted en plein air by 50+ top chefs."
