Soak up autumn’s magic as New England’s peaks and valleys come ablaze in crimson and gold.

Mother Nature’s most dazzling performance unfolds in New England each fall, as its forests erupt in fiery shades of red, orange, and gold. From Vermont’s dense Green Mountains to the rocky coastline of Portland, Maine, and the cobbled streets of Boston, Massachusetts, autumn transforms the region into a vibrant, leaf-strewn wonderland. Meander past covered bridges, sip cider straight from the mill, and stroll through charming towns that feel pulled from a storybook. With crisp air, cozy flavors, and rich history around every corner, this is the season New England was made for. Grab a bowl of clam chowder and extend your stay in Boston to see more of the city.

Itinerary

Burlington, Vermont

Day 1: Arrival in Burlington

Welcome to Vermont! After arriving in Burlington, make your way to your hotel to get settled in.

Day 2: Sightseeing tour of Vermont

Included meals: Breakfast, Tasting, Welcome dinner

An all-day foliage tour introduces you to Vermont’s scenic, rustic, quirky charm and the spirited small towns that make up the Green Mountain State. In the fall, the dense greenery of its resident birch, sugar maple, and beech trees turns to blazes of gold and vermilion.

  • Stop in Stowe to enjoy a guided tour of the Trapp Family Lodge—yes, the Trapp family of “The Sound of Music” fame. This European-style mountain resort is ensconced among thousands of acres of trails, gardens, and pastures, and has been owned and operated by the Trapps since 1950.
  • Make a sweet pilgrimage to the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury. Of course, we won’t let you leave before you’ve had a scoop at this colorful, cow-print institution.

Join your group for a welcome dinner this evening, served with beer or wine.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Fall Foliage Tour. Such a beautiful part of the country. Being my first trip with EF, I was skeptical about the hotels. All were fine and conveniently located. Will definitely use EF for future tours.
