Description

In 2017, we will run a total of five excursions offering 4 different local breweries:
3/17 Friday; 5/27; 6/17; 7/1; 9/2- STEAM
Three 4 oz samplings of locally crafted beer and root beer! Along the ride to the Fontana Trestle passengers will enjoy their samplings and history of the local brewery being featured all while eating a BBQ and Ribs dinner. When we arrive at the Trestle everyone will head out to the open air cars to enjoy some bluegrass music and the spectacular sunset over the Fontana Trestle. At this time fill your souvenir glass with extra pints of the local craft beer and/or bar service, available for purchase. For our Labor Day special BBQ & Brews will be led by our 1702 steam engine on 9/2 that is sure to delight!

Seating
The train will offer “adult only seating” and “family friendly seating”

Adult Only Car-21+ Only

A Brewery representative will be present to explain the history of their brewery, each brew, and answer any questions throughout the excursion. Offering a child-free experience this car is separated from anyone who is bringing a family.

Family First Class Car-All Ages

Bring the whole family! This car is designated for parties with passengers less than 21 yrs. For the 21+ passengers a brewery representative will provide samplings of craft beer and for the under 21 passengers we provide non-alcoholic craft ROOT beer from Hoppy Trout Brewing Company. If your party wouldn’t like to participate in the craft beer experience that is fine too! Come and enjoy the 2 hour total train ride to the Fontana Trestle to watch the sunset.

Open- Air cars

The Adult Only Car and the Family First Class car will have separate open air cars to enjoy. This will keep the passengers who prefer a child-free experience in their own designated area. On board musicians strum away at bluegrass music as you enjoy the relaxing views from the trestle.
