A View Of Fall Foliage In Connecticut

By: Jayden Vandiest

New England and the Northeast of the United States are famous for their brilliant fall colors tours. And so is Connecticut. As soon as autumn arrives there is a riot of colors that is a source of great enjoyment for residents and visitors to this region. There are plenty of ways to see the changing colors of leaves in Connecticut.

You can get a birds eye view of the vibrant colors of these leaves in a hot air balloon. Connecticut has over 20 hot air balloon companies that not just offer you this enjoyable ride but in some cases also a combined package of bed and breakfast accommodation with it. You can get a more luxurious treat with champagne balloon rides.

One of the more popular ways to see the fall foliage in Connecticut is to enjoy cruises. There are many different waterways in the state, and it also borders the Atlantic, so it is possible to take a sea-faring tour as well. There are a variety of cruises that include education and historical tours, as well as those for pure luxury. There are even cruises that last for multiple days.

Horse back riding especially by the moonlight is a more romantic way of catching the autumn spirit. You can savor the vibrance of colored leaves and the nature. Though the horse back riding goes on throughout the year yet autumn is the best time to enjoy the wonders of the foliage fall.

If you follow the Connecticut Wine Trail you can enjoy the beautiful and fine wines and also participate in the grape stomping and wine tasting contests. There are 14 vineyards along the trail, and you can explore it using a car or on a bike. Connecticut has kept up the tradition of wine trails in the Northeast, and offers a relaxing way to enjoy the fall season.

If you prefer to make your own way and explore the back roads, you can drive through Connecticut's beautiful rural countryside and see the trees in their full splendor. You can stay comfortably in one of the cozy bed-and-breakfast inns in the rural back roads. However, you must make reservations in advance because the inns are full during the autumn.

Dining is also more than a possibility while on your fall foliage tour in Connecticut. There are plenty of steak and seafood places on the roads, and many small towns have quaint diners that serve up delicious New England favorites. And, during the fall, you can also stop at road side stands to purchase fresh produce, much of it organically grown.

A trip to Connecticut during autumn provides endless delights. There is much to see and do in a very relaxing manner that is unhurried. It is an escape from normal life into one that is simpler. Food, beautiful scenery, and cozy places to stay. Oh, and sparkling wine and good company.
