All Aboard the Warren County Winery Train!
Escape to a perfect day of scenic beauty, history, and wine with Delaware River Railroad Excursions!
Embark on a relaxing journey along the stunning Delaware River aboard our historic passenger coaches. The train heads south to the charming hamlet of Riegelsville, NJ, where you'll step off at our beautifully restored station.
From there, a complimentary shuttle bus whisks you up the hill to Villa Milagro Vineyards — one of New Jersey's most picturesque wineries, perched on a ridge with breathtaking panoramic views overlooking the Delaware and Musconetcong Rivers (and four counties across two states!). The name "Villa Milagro" means "home of miracles" — and the vistas truly live up to it.
At the vineyard, enjoy a guided experience learning how grapes are grown and crafted into exceptional, hand-blended wines from eight vinifera and American varieties. Sample their delicious, food-friendly selections, and take the opportunity to purchase bottles right at the source.
Flexible Schedule & Return Options Trains depart Phillipsburg at 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM (weekends May 2–November 1, 2026). The round-trip is about 2 hours, but you can stay longer in town after your winery experience returning on a later train — they run every 2 hours! (Note: The last northbound trip is around 4:30 PM, so plan accordingly.)
While in Riegelsville:
Pro tip: Call your chosen spot ahead with your planned return train time so you don't miss your ride!
Bonus Adventure on the Return Trip
As the train heads back north, you'll pass the Susquehanna Mining Company (also known as the Gem Stone Mine). Feel free to detrain here at no extra train cost — spend as much time as you like relaxing in their shaded picnic grove (perfect for enjoying your newly purchased wine with a picnic lunch you bring along!). Trains return every 2 hours, so hop back on whenever you're ready.
For even more fun, add the Susquehanna Mining Company experience on-site: Enjoy a short, entertaining tour sharing the mine's "tragic but funny" history, learn to pan for real gemstones (take your finds home!), and receive a bag of ore with every ticket(only $6.00). Browse mining and mineral gifts in the on-site shop.
Picnic Perfection
Bring your lunch (and your wine!) and unwind at scenic picnic tables in the tree-shaded groves at the Susquehanna Mine/Corn Maze site or back at our Phillipsburg station parking area. Check our website for photos of these lovely spots!
Ticket Price: Just $45 per person — a full day of scenic rail adventure, wine tasting, stunning views, and optional extras!
Book now for an unforgettable mix of history, nature, and great wine. Tickets and gift certificates are on sale for the 2026 season!
