Cheers to 50 years! 🍷🚂

This year, Willow Creek Railroad partnered with Casa Luna Winery to create two special-edition wines to help us celebrate our Golden Anniversary.

🍷Semaphore Red, a Pinot Noir, is from grapes grown at Casa Luna’s estate vineyard in the Willamette Valley, OR. The wine was fermented and oak-aged in French barrels. It is fruit-forward with notes of dark cherry. $22 per bottle.

🍇Mars Light White, a dry Pinot Gris, is bright and fresh with aromas of some florals, green apple, and lemon zest. Flavors are peach and pear, rhubarb and watermelon. It has good length, as well as having good persistence on the palette. $18 per bottle.

This season, we hope you will raise a glass of these special-edition wines with us as we share a toast to the WCRR legacy, which we are grateful that you are a part of.

Thanks to the generosity of Casa Luna Winery, nine dollars from each bottle purchased of these two specialty wines is donated directly back to WCRR!

*To place your order, email Scott Johnson at [email protected]. Wine orders are fulfilled by Casa Luna Winery. Must be 21+ years old to purchase.*
