Embark on a wine train journey that blends elegance and tradition. This season, the Iron Horse Society proudly presents the Rails & Cork Experience, a round-trip adventure from the historic Steamtown National Historic Site to the charming town of Moscow, PA. This unique event combines the romance of rail travel with the sophisticated pleasure of wine tasting, creating a sensory experience like no other. 

Travel through the scenic countryside and immerse yourself in an exclusive wine tasting event featuring three of the region's top wineries:

  • Grovedale Winery offers a unique experience with its premium wines made from their eight-acre vineyard, specializing in Riesling and Minnesota French hybrid varieties.
  • Lucchi Family Wine Cellars is a family-owned winery crafting wines with a personal touch, using both locally grown and globally sourced grapes.
  • Three Hammers Winery produces handcrafted, small-batch wines with a focus on balance and complexity, blending French and West Coast winemaking techniques to create uniquely layered flavors. 

To further enhance the atmosphere, live music from SHEnanigans, a crowd favorite from our North Pole Limited trains, will provide a delightful backdrop at the Moscow station. Their lively performances will create an unforgettable ambiance, perfectly complementing your wine tasting adventure and adding a touch of festivity to your journey.
