Take a Ride on the Wine Train!
Sunday April 26, 2020. We begin the morning with a trip through time on an historic Gold Rush era Niles Canyon train with antique passenger cars and a conductor in full regalia that takes us from Fremont to Sunol. The scenery through Niles Canyon is a beautiful old forest. Our expert docent will teach us about the history of trains in the Niles Canyon from 1962 to the present. When we arrive in Sunol, we will relax with some wine tasting at a local garden, and then enjoy a group picnic lunch. After lunch, you have a choice of either taking a leisurely walk on a nearby trail or visiting the quaint town of Sunol before taking the train back to Fremont. Educational train ride, lunch and wine tasting are included. BAO will arrange carpooling. Click on LEARN MORE and then Visit Website to register for Event #6
