Napa Valley Wine Train Dedicates Bridge to Lovers

Online, January 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - (NAPA, CA) A small non-descript foot bridge in the romantic Napa Valley will become the site of undying love this Valentine's Day. Hopeless romantics and affectionistas of all types can symbolically - and physically - lock their love forever and throw away the key on the boarding platform of the Napa Valley Wine Train.

Here, lovers can take a simple padlock decorated with their names, initials, or a special date and affix it to the bridge fence. Once the lock is locked, the key can then be discarded into the abyss (or in this case the swale below the bridge) or saved as a keepsake, to celebrate the permanency of enduring love.

This practice, which is now extremely popular in Europe, is thought to have started in China where it is a tradition for partners to "lock their souls" together. Such a tender gesture is the stuff that builds classic love affairs.

What could be a better place to celebrate enduring love than the elegant and romantic setting of the Napa Valley Wine Train? Holding hands across the table on the train is intimately personal in a way that sitting in an open, brightly-lit and noisy restaurant can never be. Whether it is Valentine's Day or just a day you want to make special, the Wine Train is perfect for lovers - of life, food, and each other.

Now those lovers can add a unique twist to an already distinctive experience by bringing a lock and placing it on the bridge before boarding the Train.

Whether partners are planning on riding the train or just passing by, they can stop by the Love Lock Pedestrian Bridge and leave a token of their love in the Napa Valley.

An intimate meal, a glass of wine, the gift of love, the gift of time: life is a journey, don't miss the Train.
