Enjoy an amazing degustation your way, pick which options suits you.
The Q Train has five dining carriages, and two bars. Each dining carriage offers a unique experience for The Q Train’s patrons. When booking, we ask that you choose which dining option you would like.
Enjoy private dining for two in our First Class Dining Cars.
The most prestigious dining option on board The Q Train is the First Class Private Dining Car. Originally a first class sleeping car from Queensland’s famous Sunlander train, you will dine in your own private compartment. This intimate compartment, with seating for two, creates a unique, romantic atmosphere; ideal for that romantic treat, anniversary, birthday or special occasion.
There are fourteen compartments available on each train. First Class guests experience our delicious degustation menu, with matching drinks*.
*Drink matching is the process of pairing food dishes with wine/beer/mocktails to enhance the dining experience. In many cultures, wine and beer have had a long history of being staples at the dinner table and both their production, and the culinary traditions of a region, will have evolved together. The main concept behind pairings is that certain elements in both food and drink interact with each other, and thus finding the right combination of these elements will make the entire dining experience more enjoyable.
The Q Train will depart from Drysdale Railway Station, Drysdale, Victoria.
Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.
If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.

a month agoFirst Class for 2 - 2nd week of March 2024 My wife and I opted for the first class dinner evening experience as a romantic weekend getaway over the labour day long weekend. Overall, it was a nice experience - something different. The service was impeccable from the moment we stepped onto the platform. My wife was pregnant and they were very accommodating and thoughtful. We had time to roam, enjoyed a beverage before we were explained about the journey from Georgia - she was a wonderful hostess throughout our trip. We stopped on two platforms and had time to walk around. I had read the reviews about the food, however the quality and amount of food we received was nice, fresh and was complimented nicely with the drinks list. The views - it was a lot of peoples backyards and wetlands - but nice. We chose March and the night experience due to our situation and availability, I was aware that it might get dark early and I was right. The train left at 7, and it was dark by 830pm. If you are going to book after mid Feb for the night experience - keep this in mind. Overall a nice experience, however I do think that it is a bit pricey for the first class experience - it is solely due to the fact that you are dining on a moving train. Thank you to the Q Train team!!

2 weeks agoBooked the 1st class dining with pairing wine, the 5 course menu with the pairing wine was an awesome idea. The food are all very good. We had a welcome wine once we arrived the venue. The waitress whom serve us all were top notch service. We will definitely will go again.

a month agoWhat an amazing experience. From arriving on the red carpet and getting your photos taken with your glass of champagne. To your 1st class private compartment, where we were waited on with a delicious five course meal. The train was amazing, as was the service, food and the accompanying drinks. I highly recommend taking the Q train. You won’t be disappointed.

a month agoWhat a lovely way to spend the evening. The train was magnificent and it was a pleasure to be a part of history. The staff were efficient, friendly and always available. The view outside the train was beautiful until the sun set then romantic once darkness descended. The food was mostly excellent (one out of five dishes was disappointing). Every dish was something that we would order from an a la carte menu. The beer was served icy cold, the cocktails freshly made and the whiskey on ice as I like it. Three and a half hours was probably a bit long to sit at a table with one person. Conversations have limits. We did enjoy listening in to our neighbours loud conversations during the lulls in our conversation.

a week agoThis is a unique way to celebrate special occasions and every part of the three hour journey was professional executed by the staff. At all times we were keep up to date with what was happending. The wine selection with wach of the 5 courses was extensive and tasteful. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this service to everyone.
