The Carson Tahoe Health Auxiliary, in one of its most popular fundraisers, will host its 6th annual V&T Wine, Cheese and Dessert Train from Carson City to Virginia City on Saturday, May 4, 2019.
The special event train leaves the Eastgate Depot in Carson City at 10 a.m. and arrives in Virginia City at approximately 11:30 a.m. The train arrives back in Carson City before 4:30 p.m. Tickets are pre-sold, and guests are asked to be at the Eastgate Depot by 9:30 a.m.
Wine and cheese will be served on the trip to Virginia City. Be sure to bring a camera for the scenery is fantastic and there is a good chance that passengers will spot wildlife along the route including bands of wild horses.
Once passengers reach Virginia City, they can choose to either walk the short distance to “C” Street or be shuttled uptown. V&T Railway Commission and the Carson Tahoe Health Auxiliary arranged for special discount shopping at many of the shops in Virginia City. Also included in the price of the event ticket is lunch at the Firehouse Saloon and Grill and a guided tour of Virginia City aboard a trolley.
The train leaves Virginia City at 3 p.m. and wine and dessert will be served on the return trip, plus there will be several door prizes given away onboard the train.
