Tennessee Wine Tasting Excursion Train

This Sells out! Buy your ticket now!

A too Hot to hike Summer series event

To be clear the train boards at 9:00 AM CENTRAL TIME. Meetup is flaky about this stuff. Carpools can be created, but please take the time difference in to account. You can do this people.

"The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca."-Anthony Bourdain

The journey matters. How you approach getting there matters as much as getting there. It tells me a lot about you too. I like the carpools. Fill the time with talk and socializing. You might learn something. You might get to know someone better. The experience and interaction enriches you.

This trip is doing the Journey in style.

If you've met me you'll understand why the title of the Alfred Hitchcock movie Strangers on a train confuses me. Strangers? Never met one! We're locked up in a metal tube together. I am going to get to know you.

The point of this particular trip isn't the destination, though it does sound nice too. The point is the journey by train. How cool is that? There will be a wine tasting on the train from DelMonaco Winery (Caution, the link I provided at one point in the video shows a couple getting married. Viewer discretion is advised. Why do they include troubling footage about commitment? Poor guy. They're shown wandering around the grape vines. Looks like something out of the horror movie Children of the Corn. note to self new horror movie idea, Groom of the Vines)

Anyways, I've been there. The train used to go to the Winery. It's nice. It is fun. That was a long time ago.

The train isn't going to DelMonaco Winery though so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. It is stopping at Watertown, TN. They have shops and food places and snackage. After the layover we get back on the train. Then we ride back to Nashvegas.

This sells out folks. That is why I am posting this now.

This is the most fun you can have on a train. Well, if you've seen the movie Risky Business the second most fun you can have on a train.

Closer to time we can look at some carpools. We can make the journey to the Journey fun if we carpool.

I am enjoying my Journey through life. Might have to do all of that figure out what I am going to be when I grow up and how I can retire, but it's been fun so far.
