Top 3 Places to See Fall Foliage

Fall is our favorite season. The weather turns cool and the colors come out to play. That’s why we’ve got some very special fall adventures designed to showcase the best colors in America. Our Vermont trips have got the richest hues in the Northeast. Blackberry Farm is a down-home fall festival. And California Wine Country is timed perfectly with the harvest. Is summer over yet?

Vermont

Is there anything more classic? These are the best colors in the country. Rich reds, bright golds, and deep oranges combine for a breathtaking tapestry of colors set amongst a gorgeous mountain backdrop and quiet country roads. Enjoy the charm of quaint town squares, sample regional specialties from golden maple syrup to smooth Vermont cheddar and rich, velvety ice cream, and taste the farm-to-table freshness that make this the most fall-friendly trip on the calendar.

California Wine Country

California Wine Country is known internationally for its weather and soil that produce some of the world’s most delicious wine, and there’s no better place to be when the leaves on the vines start to change. This is a bustling time of year, with all hands on deck at the wineries, but the perfect cycling routes are slightly less known. Pedal the gently undulating terrain that traverses vineyard after vineyard, smell the next great vineyard in the air, and stop to sample exclusive wines as you take in the full harvest experience.

Blackberry Farm

Nestled on 9,200 untouched acres adjoining the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in eastern Tennessee, Blackberry Farm offers a stunning setting in the foothills of the Southern Appalachians to see spectacular fall colors on display. From crisp fall evenings gathered around a campfire on the banks of Hesse Creek to tranquil days spent riding the Foothills Parkway and paddle boarding on Tellico Lake, there’s no better place to wile away those magical fall days.
