Start the evening off in River Valley Junction where you will have the opportunity (or great luck of the Irish) to sample a selection of beer and spirits from our guest vendors while traditional live Celtic music sets the festive tone in the background. Help yourself to our generous appetizer buffet while you stroll through and visit with our friends from Allan S. Goodman, Surfridge Brewing, Waypoint Spirits, Two Roads Brewing and Bully Boy Spirits. At 7 pm we will call you to board the Essex Clipper Dinner Train for your dining excursion with your choice of Braised Corn Beef, Boiled Potatoes, Carrots, Roasted Brussels, OR Sausages with Stout Braised Onions, Mashed Potatoes and Carrots, both selections served with delicious Cheddar and Herb Biscuits. For dessert Baileys cheesecake or Chocolate Mousse Cake.

Enjoy warmth and comfort at its finest aboard this season's Winter Warmer Lunch Train; a two hour excursion through the scenic Connecticut River Valley.

All aboard the elegant Essex Clipper for a 4-course meal served in beautifully restored 1920’s Pullman diners pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive.
