The days and weeks that linger between Labor Day and Columbus Day are a magical time to vacation in New England as well as Europe. The summer crowds have departed, the air is clean & crisp, the skies sunny & clear, and leaves begin to turn into shades of deep ochre, burnt orange and rich yellows that ignite the landscape into a patchwork of color. Come join Bike Riders as we travel to some fabulous fall destinations.

Burgundy, France
Wine aficionados rejoice, for fall is harvest season. Join Bike Riders in Burgundy, France as we view firsthand this yearly rite of passage and bike through the world famous vineyards of the Burgundian countryside. We marvel as the pickers delicately, yet swiftly pick the fruit of century old vines that will one day be made into Grand Crus vintages sought around the world. Steeped in a history of beauty and distinction, a week biking in Burgundy during harvest is ideal for the wine enthusiast and a vacation to remember.
• Bicycling in Burgundy: Sep 10-16, Sep 24-30
• Grands Crus and Great Chefs in Burgundy: Sep 17-24, Oct 1-8
