The Fall Colours High Tea starts on September 21, 2023 and runs on select dates until October 7. The vintage train will whisk you away through vibrant autumn landscapes as you indulge in fall-themed treats and sip “sophisticated” teas.
The experience runs for an hour and a half and it’s a totally unique way to enjoy the red and orange colours of the season.

Tickets for both events are available online and cost $84.99 for the Fall Colours High Tea and $99.99 for the Pumpkin High Tea.
These aren’t the only fall experiences taking place at YDHR. The railway is hosting a Fall Festival as well as a Fall Harvest Lunch Train and a new “Hell Train” which is described as a “moving haunted house.”
