If you want a taste of what it is like riding through the wine country, follow me and ride the SMART Train to Windsor. On this excursion, you’ll ride rolling terrains of vineyards and see early blooms in the beautiful Alexander Valley. Perhaps, this will tempt you into coming back for more. 

To do this, you will need a Clipper to board the train. As of 1/13/26 the rides on the SMART (anywhere) for seniors is still FREE.

Meet 9:00 am at Johny’s Doughnuts at the Marin Country Mart. If you plan to indulge in an artisan donut arrive earlier. You can also eat it on the train. There are also clean restrooms on the train.

We will leave promptly at 9:15 to board SMART at 9:30. We are boarding at the beginning of the line and disembarking at the end of the line which is now the Windsor Station. The train waits for no one.

There will be a break mid-way on the route and a post ride gathering before hopping back on the Windsor train at 3:56 pm.
