Mid Winter Christmas Dinner

Departing Feilding in our red 1930’s carriages, hauled by a KiwiRail diesel locomotive, we travel to Palmerston North to pick up more
passengers. Then we meander through the Manawatu Gorge, with all its spectacular scenery, to Woodville.

Leaving Woodville we make a right hand turn that takes us to Pahiatua and past the new Fonterra Dairy factory and on to the
Pahiatua railway station. We travel on to Eketahuna and into northern Wairarapa, running through Mauriceville and entering the
Wairarapa wine country.

 

Arriving at the From Masterton railway station you will be bused to the fabulous  Copthorne Hotel where the dining room awaits, festooned with Christmas decorations, Christmas trees and Christmas music. You will almost be looking for Santa himself!

From the time of your arrival you will be able to take advantage of the comprehensive bar or indulge in wine tastings available at the stands of several winemakers who will show you what winemaking is all about.
