A ride with a little more room in the day.
The Fall Merritt Wine Train is a two-hour evening round trip from Gowanda to South Dayton. The current page lists a 5 p.m. departure, Merritt wine tastings, keepsake goblets, and chocolate-covered strawberries, with a table-for-four option for guests who want to settle in together. Verify the current date, event name, and final menu before booking because older page copy includes a Valentine’s reference.
