- **Event Description**: The Trinity Hill Vineyard Escape 🍷 

Welcome spring in style and step aboard The Trinity Hill Vineyard Escape for a magnificent, all-inclusive rail and epicurean adventure. We are heading to Hawke's Bay for an exclusive winery experience at one of New Zealand's most prestigious estates.

Sit back and indulge as our majestic steam locomotive sweeps you through changing landscapes, winding its way through the dramatic scenery of the Manawatū Gorge toward sunny Hawke's Bay. There is no better place to experience the romance and grandeur of mainline steam than from our open-air viewing platform. It is the ultimate vantage point for taking stunning photos, capturing the thunderous echo of the engine, and taking in the fresh spring breeze.

Throughout the entire journey, our onboard licensed café carriage will be at your service. You can purchase a range of premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments, fresh hot coffees, teas, and sweet treats to enjoy right from your seat as the scenery rolls elegantly by.

Our tracks lead straight to Hastings, where a private coach awaits to escort you directly to the legendary Trinity Hill Vineyard in the globally acclaimed Gimblett Gravels district.

This exclusive afternoon centers completely around celebrated viticulture:
- Behind the Cellar Door: Go on an insider's tour to discover their world-class winemaking craft and rich heritage.
- Curated Artisan Lunch: Unwind on the stunning estate grounds with a premium lunch box featuring your choice of a hand-crafted sandwich (such as the bold Beef and Kraut with pickles and cheese, an elegant Chicken and Tarragon, or a vibrant Salad and Hummus with salsa verde).
- Perfect Pairings: Accompanied by a savory scone, sweet slice, and fresh fruit, your estate lunch is paired perfectly with a complimentary glass of Trinity Hill's flagship Hawke's Bay Collection Wine.

Your ticket covers your return rail travel behind a genuine steam locomotive from Kapiti, Horowhenua, or Manawatū, complete with reserved premium carriage seating offering panoramic views. You will have full access to our open-air viewing platform for unbeatable sightseeing and photography, alongside entry to our fully licensed café carriage throughout the rail journey. Seamless coach transfers will also be waiting in Hastings to transition you smoothly from rails to vines.

Once at Trinity Hill, you will enjoy an exclusive winery tour exploring Trinity Hill’s history and winemaking craft. To complement the afternoon, you will receive a curated estate lunch box featuring a premium sandwich, savory scone, sweet slice, and fresh fruit, paired perfectly with a complimentary glass of Trinity Hill's premium Hawke's Bay Collection Wine (or a non-alcoholic alternative).
