The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) will continue operating the popular Bernina Wine Express in 2025. From May 20 to October 24, travelers can enjoy a combination of a train ride across the Alps and exclusive wine experiences in Italy's Valtellina region from Tuesday to Friday. The journey combines the Bernina Express's panoramic route with a guided tour of the historic "La Gatta" winery near Tirano.
The journey begins in the morning in St. Moritz on the Bernina Express (BEX 971) and travels along the UNESCO World Heritage route to Tirano. There, participants will enjoy a visit to the "La Gatta" winery, housed in a former 16th-century monastery. A tour of the vineyards and the historic wine cellar will be followed by an aperitif and lunch featuring typical red wines of the region.
In the afternoon, the return journey to St. Moritz takes place on the Bernina Express (BEX 976). If this is fully booked, passengers can alternatively take a regional train to Tirano. This panoramic route is considered one of the most spectacular railway lines in Europe, crossing viaducts, through spiral tunnels, and past glaciers.
The Bernina Wine Express combines Alpine scenery with regional wine culture and is aimed at lovers of sophisticated culinary experiences. The Rhaetian Railway continues its tradition of offering special themed tours that combine tourism and culinary delights.
