A journey to remember Booked for my wife's 50th birthday. Great experience. We took the first class option as it comes with paired with wines and your own room. The food is amazing, it's degustation so don't think it's 250g of ribeye and mounds of potato.

Staff are attentive and informed about the local wines and local produce. You get to get off at stations and walk around, talk to people if you want.

All in all, a great night.

Very Enjoyable. We took the ferry from Melbourne with a bus ride to the train and what a lovey day out it was. It’s so good to get out of the city and share the tourist dollars around. This tram sources local produce and employs local people and that’s a great thing. I’d do it again and recommend it.

A great day out We were given a gift voucher for the Q-train (Sail, rail & dine) for an anniversary gift.

What an experience for something we had never even heard of.

After catching the ferry from Docklands across the bay to Port Arlington, we were met by the lovely mini bus crew and driven to the train.

We were greeted by the fantastic staff and shown to our carriage and table.

The staff were so hospitable and full of knowledge about the meals they were serving us. Excellent food, wines and so relaxing. The short breaks were great to get off and stretch the legs. We so enjoyed ourselves we have been telling everyone about what a great day it was. More

Fun day with friends If you're looking for something different that you and some friends can enjoy with all the hard work done for you, check out the Q Train.

The Q Train is an old, refurbished Queensland train fitted out for fine dining. It filled the whole day and we experienced some beautiful local food and wine.

We chose the "sail, rail and dine" package that included a return ferry from Docklands and a coach taking us to and from the Q Train.

The food and service provided during the 6 courses was amazing and we were presented with a very good wine list.

A couple of quick stops at old stations allowed us to stretch our legs as there is not much room between each table.

My favourite course was the pork belly.

One of my friends has certain dietary requirements and we would like to thank the chef for carefully reviewing the entire menu with my friend a week before our trip to ensure she enjoyed the meal as much as everyone else

Dining rail trip We did the first class dinner and rail trip. Absolutely outstanding our waiter was spot on, the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Will do it again. The 7 course degustation menu along with wine or beer selection spot on.

Q for quite nice The Q train was a really nice, unique experience. My partner and I got a voucher for the first class experience. We had a nice spacious private booth and were waited on by a lovely gentleman who was quite knowledgeable.

You have 6 courses over 3 hours, with matching wines in first class. We had 2 stops where you could get off to stretch your legs and check out the disco bar, where you can get a variety of other drinks.

The food was nice, great to see they use mostly local ingredients too. A great experience overall!

Amazing long lunch trip. Had the best time on Qtrain

Stunning food using local produce, a beautiful local Pinot and lovely attentive staff.

Will be back to do a dinner trip sometime soon.

Awesome We travelled on The Q Train in first class and right from arriving at the station and being greeted with a glass of bubbly and a little taste tempter we knew it was going to be an amazing experience and we were not disappointed. Everything was superb from the food, to matching wines and of course our own waiter Matt. Could not fault anything, well worth every dollar spent.

Loved this!!!!! Destress extraordinaire-what a lovely way to wind down, eat amazing local produce and have matched wines, your personal Butler with good knowledge of the wines and local food, whilst being gently taken through the countryside of the Bellerine Penninsula.

The whole process is well thought out, we wandered to the ferry at Dockside Melbourne, were met by a knowledge bus driver and greeted by enthusiastic staff who handed us local bubbles and a canapé on the red carpet to first class. Then our private dining space was immaculate and cosy for the journey.

Highly recommended.

Great Day trip from Melbourne We caught the fast Port Phillip catamaran ferry from Docklands, about an hour and a half to Port Arlington, thence 20 minutes by bus to Queenscliff to catch the Q train, which consists of dining carriages originally built for the Queensland Sunlander, and recently renovated. The lunch was 5 courses of interesting locally sourced food, attractively presented, no doubt in a manner to appeal to Instagram enthusiasts. The train follows a short but scenic route beside Swan Bay, then, after a half hour stop at Drysdale, makes a leisurely return to Queenscliff. Drinks are available from the bar. We returned by bus back to Port Arlington to catch the return ferry trip, arriving back shortly before 6pm. A most pleasant scenic and relaxing day, ideal for a special occasion. More
