For guests seeking culinary independence, train car rentals equipped with kitchens provide a delightful opportunity to prepare meals while enjoying panoramic views of the vineyard and surrounding countryside. Each train car is thoughtfully designed to ensure a comfortable stay, with modern amenities including full baths featuring stylish fixtures and large showers, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the vineyard or nearby attractions.
Whether opting for the intimacy of a small train rental or the rustic charm of a boxcar, guests are treated to a unique lodging experience that combines nostalgia with convenience. The train car rentals at Rassawek Vineyard offer more than just a place to stay; they create lasting memories through their distinctive ambiance and historical significance. Nestled amidst Virginia’s rolling hills and lush vineyards, Rassawek provides an ideal retreat for travelers seeking tranquility and a connection to the region’s rich heritage.

Our Pullman Car is one of three converted train cars available for overnight stays. The car was built by Pullman Co. in 1888 and later purchased by R.F. & P. Railroad in 1911. This car is believed to be the first of R. F. & P.’s business cars.

This year reminded us just how special this community is, from welcoming the largest crowd we’ve ever had at the Autumn Festival, to spending summer nights together at our very first Sawmill Music Series events!
We celebrated weddings across the property, including at our newest and largest venue, the Pavilion, and watched so many meaningful moments unfold.
You joined us to learn something new, whether that was crafting wreaths at Wine & Wreath or baking fresh bread, and gathered together for wine tastings.
Every event was made better by you! Thank you for continuing to support us and for making each gathering as fun and memorable.
We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 and do it all again together.

Did you know Rassawek is home to more than 30 restored properties?
Founded in 2000 by a family passionate about preserving the past, Rassawek was created as a retreat unlike any other. Over the years, historic buildings and materials from across the region, many once headed for demolition, have been carefully salvaged, relocated, repurposed, and rebuilt throughout the property.
Today, Rassawek is a place where natural beauty and local history come together, and where the stories of the past are thoughtfully preserved and shared with the community.
