Hi Gordon,
Swiss Travel Pass – good choice!
The Wine train is just the regular regional train which goes through the vineyards: http://www.region-du-leman.ch/en/P629/train -des-vignes-train-ride-vevey-puidoux
The reason it is differentiated is because the track that takes intercity (fast) trains goes along the lake so the vineyards cannot be appreciated in the same way… You can plan to take it using the timetable for travelling times and connections (just enter Lausanne to Puidoux): http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable
In addition, when you get to Chexbres you can take the Panoramic train on wheels, which offers wine tasting etc (this is not covered by the Swiss Travel Pass).
Personally though, I prefer to stroll through the vineyards. We have a walk that might interest you: http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king/lutry-epesses
Hope this helps and have a wonderful trip!
Maria.

Hi Maria –
It was not clear to me from your post, that the wine train is fully covered by the STP.
I thinks that is implied in your comments, but, I thought that I’d double check.

Nothing extra…since it is “regular” intercity train, its fare is covered by the STP.

Hi Slowpoke,
Yes, it’s fully covered. It’s a regular train on a regular though scenic (short) route. No reservations required either.

Hi Slowpoke, indeed, it was implied that it was fully covered, like all other regular trains 😉
HappyMak, if you’re ever in doubt about what your Swiss Travel Pass covers, you can go to http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity
There is also a map you can download there.
Have a great time!
