A mouth-watering experience by train
The Train of Flavours is a multisensory journey for travellers eager for new experiences and is the first of its kind in Europe. Designed to promote the area from Brescia to Edolo, it starts in Iseo, crosses the Franciacorta region and runs along the lake before climbing up the Vallecamonica valley to Edolo.
Two comfortable carriages and high-tech
Financed by Trenord, the two resyled carriages – for a total of 85 passengers - are a beautiful flaming red, recalling those of early1900 trains and are powered by an electric diesel engine. One of the carriages has a comfortable bar and tasting room and a restaurant with 41 seats, while the second carriage is divided into two dining rooms. Both carriages are equipped with multimedia systems, an audio and video diffusion system and an external camera that allows images of the landscape to be projected on screens.
Wine and food tastings, art and culture
The programmes take into account seasonal changes and the specific needs of the different groups, with itineraries featuring the area’s artistic, cultural and natural wonders to be enjoyed in a completely new and unique way. Accompanied by expert, multilingual guides passengers discover the many appealing aspects of the area with tastings of typical local wines, cheeses, meats, oil and honey. So at the end of the journey they take away not just memories of splendid landscapes but also the flavours of local products.
