My daughter and I just did our second ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad. We had a great time both last October (Octoberfest) and this Wine fest a week ago. We decided to do the works (lunch and the wine tasting). Lunch was so filling that we could only eat half and had enough leftover to have for dinner. Did I mention that it was also very good? Abbey was our bartender and she provided the champagne for our “take off’ drink. Because lunch was so filling, we were only able to nibble on the snacks provided (cheese, sausage, crackers, fruit and a little dessert) and had leftovers to take home with us, The scenery was wonderful and the Verde was flowing. The historian, Sully, was able to provide a great history of the area and Abbey, our bartender was friendly, helpful and made a mean Mud Slide. The two of them help make the trip memorable. If you have never ridden the Verde Valley Railway, let me encourage you to get out there, and learn the history of the area either from the comfort of the first class seats or while out on an observation car.

Thanks very much for being a repeat rider, and for sharing this amazing review! We'll be sure to share your kind remarks with Abbey and Sully.
