The 2024 Excursions will be on the following Saturdays:
Just added, October 5th! Our excursion has been so popular that we've added one more. We have paired up with Municipal Winemakers to create this lovely experience.
These fully-hosted, docent-led excursions will depart from the SLO Railroad Museum at 11am taking a motor coach to Municipal Winemakers, arriving around 1:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided on the motor coach trip to Santa Barbara.
Following the roughly 1-hour wine tasting (5 wines), participants will have free time until 5:30pm sharp to visit Stearn's Wharf, cruise around more of the Funk Zone, explore lower State Street, eat early dinner at a restaurant, or buy food for the return Amtrak trip, etc.
The Amtrak Surfliner will depart Santa Barbara Train Station at 5:45pm and arrive in San Luis Obispo about 8:45pm after enjoying a Sunset train ride along the Pacific Ocean. Limited food choices are available from the onboard Amtrak Cafe.
Cost: $129/person. Space is limited.
All proceeds from our rail excursions go directly toward supporting our non-profit educational mission. In addition to this valuable experience, please consider making an additional contribution on the checkout page. Thank you!
